19,95 € Really!!??! If it were knitted, I perhaps could convince myself that it is made with a machine in a big industrial building in less than 5 minutes, but crochet, so cheap!? No way. You already know from last week that I was in Frankfurt and that after all many museums were closed my […]

Flu(ffy) knitting – knitting a wrap cardigan while having a cold
2. October 2018
First, beware: Do not lick this post, wash your hands after reading and disinfect your computer, I have the flu… With this security advice out of the way, wool, magazines and knitting will follow. I had a very busy week, so not too much ‘hobby-knitting’ for me. The bit of knitting I have done was […]

The unexcited knitting progress post
4. September 2018
Nothing exciting on the knitting front to announce… My green and very tight vintage sweater is finished and waiting for someone who will sew in the last yarn ends.

Peace is death, 18 x 12 cm (mask) and 25 x 30 cm (knitting), Clay, nails, knitted fabric Peace is Death – a fibresculpture Peace is death, is standstill, is nothingness, is everything.
