If you've read some of the posts from this blog you know that I like constructions a bit out of the ordinary - especially when knitting fingerless gloves. In this blogpost I've compiled a list of fingerless gloves that are worked flat, which means that they don…

When I started to design knitting patterns, I wasn't interested in hit rates and traffic to my blog. Over the years I have wanted to increase my traffic. There are a lot of general posts around that give really good advice on how and where to share your posts - the…

Crochet yourself a fun summer accessory with this breezy scarf. It's constructed of rectangular modules that are connected as you go. This scarf is the crochet version of my (knitted) Little Rectangles Summer Scarf . This work by Knitting and so on is licensed und…
