Mindless knitting 1

Hiya girls ,

Yesterday I finished the first of the 2 pairs mindless knitting socks .. for the first time i made a short row heel and it did it the easy way..LOL.. I tried the "no wraps, no holes" thing, or whatever it is called ..... and it fits perfect !!


I am afraid that the other pair gets a vacationtime in the WIP drawer , coz I am a bit tired of the plain stockinette stitch ... I wanna start something new, something blue .... and there is also still this folk sweater that I have to finish ...

OMG . where can I buy time ?????

Thanks for looking !!

Think spring

Hiya girls ,
This is my entry for the Stamp Something Challenge , they want us to think spring ...

My card isn't exactly a Dutch spring, but never mind, LOL !! I used Vivid dye inks , the swirlstamp is from Stampattack and the butterfly .. I dunno anymore ...

To be completely honest , I found the inspiration for this card by Hetty !!

Thanks for looking!!

Both yarns are from Regia , the one in top is from the Kaffe fasset design line , and the other one is a Galaxy something....

Sockssss :-)


Hiya girls ,

Yes Carol, more socks ...lol..

I found out that specially in this humid country , we're having rain, rain and more rain every day , I really feel more warm and comfy in handknitted socks , so I think that Ihave to knit sock for the rest of my life !! :-)


After the man's colors I felt like knitting something bright and colorful so I chose this yarn with the attractive name "Istanbul" ... I am doing it with a lil fake-cable pattern again, here's a close up ...

Some cards

Hiya girls

It was really yuckie weather here , a lousy sunday , so I made some cards again :-)
This one was made for a fun challenge on a Dutch Hobby website .. I used Colorbox Chakinks and scrappapers from Basic Grey .. stamps are from Paper Artsy and Stampers Anonymous...
btw ... I was the only one who made a non cute scrapcard ... LOL


For this one I used Rangers Alcoholinks on 2 different kind of glossy papers to get 2 different coloreffects .... swirlstamp is from Stampinback, Lady is from Tome to Stamp ..
Sorry for the blurry scan , but the brad was too thick, I guess ...

So... no I gotta start knitting socks for my Dad's birthday :-)
Thanks for looking !!
