This is a learning progress! I knew that knitting through front or back loop matters & also which way around the loop is on needles & purl with yarn in front or back gives a different output.

This pattern puts them into practice... After several attempts I think I've got it? Maybe... #knitting 🧶

These are the last tomatoes for this season, I picked them two weeks ago just before the frost, when they were still green 💚🍅

With so many leaves on the forest floor, it must have been one of my loudest walks ever 😅

At least it kept the bears away 🐻

Earlier I'd prepared two posts, but then we went on a walk and now I think these #autumn photos are way better for happiness 🤍🍂🏔️

#SewAndTell Scary... Well, altering this very expensive dress comes to mind. I was asked to shorten the hem and add loops, so it can be worn as a long, short, or high-low dress.

So I cleared my table... took away all distractions... and started. Mindfulness indeed 😅

I knitted these handwarmers to care for others. For people I love, who don't need gifts, who sit a lot and have cold hands.
Joyful to know they feel a bit more comfortable 🤍

This soft flannel shirt sure is a favourite. It used to be an XL adult size which I turned into a kids' size.

I love the fabric, a flanny means comfort 🥰
