Nick's (hand printed) shirt shop Shirtsofberlin went organic this week! Plus, there are now generously-sized lovely hoodies for sale as well. Take a look at the knitting line, marvellous yet simple designs (and the prints are limited in number, so really unique too!).
Some impressions from Finland this September.
My mother's flower garden.

My second home - my mother's house.
Sukkasato has started again, the Finnish 2-month sock KAL in which I also participated last year.
Like last year, I'll be making small socks for charity. Here's the first pair of preemie socks. Made on 4mm needles using 24 stitches around, the yarn is Hjerte Sock held double.
I have more pairs on the needles and will post them throughout the KAL. They are so sweet and quick!
I've had this finished for weeks, and finally I get to blog about it! It was originally my June small item, and I finished it sometime during summer. This was also the project I knit on my wedding day, so it has some sentimental signifigance too!
It's a lacey sock yarn scarf. The yarn I used is YarnAddicts Bamboo sock yarn (in colourway Pink goth, which I received in a swap a few years back. The yarn has since been discontinued.)
The pattern is called The scarf with no name (Ravelry link) and I knit it on 4mm needles. The pattern calls for 24 repeats of the lace chart - I think I did 27. The scarf is really long now after blocking!
I recommend you share these fun and the only 100% successful avoiding sexual assault tips with everyone you know:
Sorry to everyone who has commented lately - the comments haven't come through, we had some kind of problem with the system! Nick's fixed it now, but we can't retrieve the lost comments... so please comment again!
So, we've got some more space for the site, and I can upload photos again!
The first thing I'll show you is the packet I sent and received for the Ravelry Studio Ghibli swap, or Totoro swap for me, as Totoro is my favourite Ghibli character and I obviously planned my packet around him.
