My husband found some old pictures from a time in my life when I used to knit to order. This is one of my favorites from 1999, (yes, I´m old) a very light weight silk/merino sweater for a lovely lady. Pattern, as always, is my own, and was only used this once.

Lace is definitely my favorite too, there are so many possibilities. The thinner the yarn the better. Or why not make a room of it? 🙂

Need to alter the sleeves on one of my dresses and decided to put in some lace. Luckily, I had sewing thread in the exact color, so now I´m crocheting said lace from an old 1930´s pattern. #crochet #lace #repurpose

Helgens bok: C.S Lewis "Den förkastade bilden". Lånade och läste den på engelska för många år sedan och har länge tänkt köpa den. Nu är det gjort. Ingen bok för sträckläsning, men intressant ändå.

I have just started a new cardigan. Yarn: Isager tweed ”Strawberry”.
Partern is my own (usually means I make it up as I go).

For this weeks #showmeyourknits I'm sharing a sweater I made as a gift for my husband the first year we where married.
That was 25 years ago, he still wears it.

I suppose this is the most "christmasy" way to show my knits. From a Christmas faire last year with me wearing my wool jacket with knitted arms and my "Signe"- hat, and with various knitted objects on the table. #ShoowMeYourKnits

You can have a lot of fun with cables and lace too, like this, for example. Trellis nets are a lace-knit.
