winter knitwear - patterns - make your own

Are you knitting yet?

November is pretty much the start of the knitting season for me. I just started a spencer with burgundy yarn.

For inspiration and patterns you can take a look at my ETSY SHOP.

breipatroon restjes spencer

Nieuw seizoen, nieuw breipatroon!

Van restjes garen van voorgaande brei- en haakprojecten, maakte ik eerder deze maand een gebreide spencer. Het leuke is dat je op deze manier de kleine restjes opgebruikt en dat er hierdoor een heel verrassend effect ontstaat. Alles kan!

Inmiddels heb ik er een breipatroon van gemaakt in het Nederlands. De Engelse vertaling volgt binnenkort.

Heb je zin om ook een spencer te breien met ongebruikt garen? Je kunt het breipatroon (met eenvoudig te volgen beschrijving en veel foto's) downloaden in mijn ESTY SHOP of bestellen via een e-mail naar info@woodwoolstool.com

lemon blossom

When I enter the bathroom, I imagine myself in a Moroccan courtyard garden.

The mini lemon tree that overwinters in the bathroom is now in full bloom. The Flower fragrance is superb! Nothing smells better than the blossom of the citrus tree.

first snow of the season

First snow of the winter season and first snow since two years.

We made a tour through the white Villa Augustus garden. It's only for one day, so we went outside to enjoy the rare snow moment of 2021.

winter delight

The garden of Villa Augustus this afternoon.

Nothing so soothing and peaceful, like the hush of fresh fallen snow.

In the Netherlands days with snow are quite rare nowadays and therefore we must enjoy it when it's there.

The layer of powder on the Italian garden, is making the shapes of the garden even more beautiful.
