Knooking Scarf & Wrist Warmers Set

Hello everyone,

Once again I completed another knooking project. Yes, I knook because knitting somehow doesn't work for me ^^

This scarf took me about 2 weeks. It measures 130 cm in total and I used up about 2 and a half skeins of yarn.

1) Knooking Scarf

Yarn: Lana Grossa Superlana

Pattern:

There are 39 stitches per row, alternating between knit and pearl stitches every 3 stitches.

• 30 rows color A
• 15 rows color B
• 10 rows color A
• 15 rows color B
• 30 rows color A
• 30 rows color B
• 15 rows color A
• 10 rows color B
• 15 rows color A
• 30 rows color B
• 30 rows color A
• 15 rows color B
• 10 rows color A
• 15 rows color B
• 30 rows color A

I started this project with 4 complete skeins of yarn. This is what was left after I finished the scarf:

I weighed the leftover yarn and figured it would still be enough to make two medium sized simple wrist warmers. 

2) Knooking Wrist Warmers

Yarn: Lana Grossa Superlana

Pattern: 

• 36 stitches per row, alternating between knit and pearl stitch every 3 stitches
• 16 rows per color which makes a total of 32 rows

And that's what left of the yarn after completing the wrist warmers, 14g in total:

I'd say I've been pretty successfull :)

See you soon!

Planning New Stash Busting Projects

Hello everyone,

I just went through my yarn stash looking at different skeins to get a better idea of what projects I'd like to work on throughout the next couple of weeks and months. While doing so I picked out certain ones and sorted them into bags which I then labeled. 

What's important for me when thinking of new projects is to think about who could actually make a use out of it. I don't want to work on those projects just for the fun of it, I want most of it to become presents.

This is what I came up with within just a few minutes:

Four beanies, one headband and at least one pair of socks...

I tried to include a "To complete by" date on each label to make it easier for me to figure out which projects need to be finished first.

See you soon!

Small Sewing Projects & Further Stash Busting Ideas

Hello everyone,

as promised I am back with another update on my stash-busting undertakings :)

Without further ado, let's have a look at some finished sewing projects:

1) Small Zipper Pouches

These are perfect for all those small items we girls like to keep in our handbags :) I came up with the pattern myself but there are quite a lot of similar ones available online, especially on Pinterest.

Fabric: Miscellaneous 100% cotton fabrics by Buttinette

2) Small Cosmetic Zipper Pouch

At the beginning this was supposed to become a gift but I changed my mind halfway through and decided to keep it for myself :)

Pattern: https://sewingtimes.net/diy-cosmetic-zipper-pouch/

Fabric: Miscellaneous 100% cotton fabrics by Buttinette, Vlieseline batting

So what else is on my stash-busting project list? Well, I have a couple of ideas:

- Knooking Scarf (currently in progress)

- Knooking Socks, spiral ones with and without a heel

- Knooking Beanie

- Small paw-shaped purse

- Short-sleeved Raglan shirts (currently in progress)

- Felt organizers to hang on hooks

And let's see what else I come up with...

See you soon!

Stash Busting Intentions & First (small) Projects

Hello everyone,

guess who's still alive :)

I am still crafting, sewing and whatnot and for whatever reason I felt like blogging about it.

For 2023 I have the intention of reducing my yarn and fabric stashes quite a bit. While doing so, I hope to create mostly usable items that maybe could also be gifts for certain friends and family members, we'll see.

The first projects I completet are the following, some quick and easy ones:

1) Knooking Scrunchie

I can't knit therefore I knook :) 

Pattern: 30 stitches in the round, 60 rounds in total

Yarn: Rico Design Baby Cotton Soft (50% cotton, 50% acrylic

2) Knitting Cords

These were made using a small vintage knitting machine.

Yarn: Wolle Rödel Mille Fili (100% cotton)

Stay tuned for more to come!

Oh and expect some sort of rebranding happening here soon :)

See you soon!
