So, ich muss jetzt einfach mal mehr strickrelatete Posts in meinem Blog veröffentlichen. Schließlich macht Stricken eigentlich den fast liebsten Teil meiner Freizeit aus! Und vielleicht gehts ja auch bald mal mehr in Richtung Job und nicht nur Hobby! Schön wär's;-)

Also fangen wir an:

Meine neuste Anleitung, die ich auf Raverly veröffentlich habe, ist eine meiner Favouriten. Ich hab sie schon 3 mal als Geschenk für Kinder meiner besten Freunde gestrickt, und nun endlich auch mal die Anleitung dafür fertig gestellt. 

Ich bin immer noch nicht so ganz sicher ob mir die gelblichen Knöpfe zu dem mint-rosa Mix gefallen, aber eigentlich geben sie ihr diesen tollen Retrocharme.

Was meint ihr?

Ich hatte ganz tolle Teststricker, die wunderschöne Varianten gestrickt haben.

Schaut einfach mal vorbei:

slowfashionoctober

Slowfashion (-october)  means to me to made a lot of clothes for my kids' autumn- and winterwardrobe by myself or buy on fleamarket, secondhand and so on. ! For the selfmade clothes I try to use only fabrics and yarn from my stash!
I think I bought in 2016 only one time a few jerseyfabric and maybe 2 or 3 times yarn for special projects! Thats really, really less than the past years. Let's see how long I will need until I empty my stash;-)

Here some impressions of my #memadeclothes for #slowfashionoctober

1.the girls in there ELSASWEATERS (pattern is in the testknitting befor it will be published in ravelry)

 2.The ENIECARDIGANS (also in testknittingphase) and the ELSASWEATERS. Love to make same clothes in different colours for them.

  3. The ELSASWEATERS in the making.

 5. Made a quicksew dress with a more than 15 years old stashfabric. Just add a skirtpart to a memade shirtpattern....
