Tunisian stitch felted bag

I just learned how to make the Tunisian stitch (in Swedish it's called krokning) and since I already had yarn enough to make a bag I improvised one. First Tunisian stitched the bag and saw it all together and then I tossed it into the washing machine (40˚C) along with a couple of towels and some soap instead of laundry detergents. This is a way of felting which I've used before when making tea cozies, slippers and a couple of other things. When I took it out I added buttons and filled the bag with stuff in plastic bags to get the shape I wanted. I think it turned out just the way I wanted it.

Hexagon baby blanket

The first project I will show you here is a blanket I knitted for my friend Saras son Oscar. They live in London so I sent it there for him and as soon as he got it his mother sent me this lovely picture.


Happy little baby Oscar with his blanket

I also took a couple of photos before I sent the blanket.

Welcome to my new blog

I’ve been blogging in Swedish for a couple of years and thought I’d try blogging in English. I’m starting this new blog for three reasons:

1. I want to have special blog to write about and show the things that I make with my hands.

2. I don’t write in English very often so I think this is good practice for me. So please feel free to comment when I repeatedly write something the wrong way or something doesn’t make sense because of the way I write.

3. I’m a Ravelry user and since most people at Ravelry don’t understand Swedish but do understand English it would be nice to have a blog connected to Ravelry that people there actually can read.

I hope to have time to write here often and share my projects and ideas with you out there but I will only write when I feel like it. I hope you will enjoy my blog!

By the way, my name on Ravelry is Tehus, so visit me there if you’re on Ravelry too!
