A new design: Zelda

Here's my new knitting design

Zelda






This sleeveless top is designed with positive ease to accommodate wearing it over a shirt.

Choose your own yarn and yarn-weight, Kidsilk mohair, cotton, silk, wool, linen, hemp etc... 


The instructions are the same for all sizes; knitting needles US 3 to US 8 (3 mm to 5 mm) are used to create the correct size. Not only needle size but also yarn used varies per garment size. 
For instance, Kidsilk mohair can be knit with needles US 3-8 ( 3mm to 5mm). 

The light blue version (size medium) was knit using DROPS Kid-silk - Lace / 2 ply - 218 yards (199 meters) - 3 balls of 25 grams (0.88 ounces) each, on needles US 5 (3,5mm) 

The mustard green version (size large) was knit using Phil'Bambou by Phildar - Sport / 5 ply (12 wpi) - 89 yards (81 meters) – 9 balls of 50 grams (1.76 ounces) each, on needles US 7 (4,5mm)

3,50 euros

Knitting Zelda again


Sometimes the sun breaks through the clouds
 It's time to sit on the bench 
In the corner of the garden 
with my big wool bag
Finishing another Zelda

Bohemian feel


For some reason I want my place to have a bohemian feel
So I started looking for some nice boho-looking things and ideas
