I have shared these before, but I've been told by a friend that the handwarmer I made them was the gift of the year 🤍 #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

Wintery scenes with fresh snow outside, so I thought to share the warm beanie I knitted for someone who loves colours 🤩 #knitting 🧶

Frozen sunrise 🌞❄️

Still cold here (minus eight atm), another night with temps around -14 °C expected. Our snowman seems to enjoy it☃️❄️

What's on my needles, combined with firsts! 😉 Sophie Hood [trying out a different yarn] Garnet Glow Socks [trying out a diamond heel] Another Phoenix Beanie [getting the hang of English rib] And, gentle progress on Sue's Beltane Ascot Shawl 🧡 #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

It's always an exiting moment when a buzzard nears our garden 🤩 [not a good quality photo, but alas 🙃]

Frozen rain chain at -8 °C ❄️

Happy new year, la mulți ani, gelukkig nieuwjaar ✨ May it be peaceful 🤍

Now I'm going to make 'oliebollen' 🥂

Done! I'm so happy to have managed to finish these custom-made woolen dresses right in time for the new year's party 😅👗 #sewing 🧶 #itfeltlikeamarathon

We had the dress fittings yday, so today you'll find me at the #sewing maching. No pressure ;)

My gift for #SewAndTell A bag from a flag for a friend of a friend 😉

I enjoyed practicing some more cable knitting with these gloves 🤍 #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

Sibiu looked charming this morning 🤍

Lots of worms appeared in our compost bin :) 👍🪱🌱

And last week, in an online meeting about flu, we addressed natural ventilation 💨. Which apparently is "commom sense", but in reality seems a bit more complicated (outdoor temp too hot/cold, noise, current, etc) 😷

A radiostation is holding a competition today in which you can win an air purifier. Promoting clean indoor air during the festive season 🥰😷 #Romania

The sky is pretty 🥰

But first, a cup of tea (galbenele) with the beautiful honey (amorfa) from a neighbour. And an Anzac biscuit.

I have patterns and fabric ready for two dresses 🪡 and yarn lined up for beanies and socks 🧶 (commissions from the local market 🤩) So, it seems I'll be busy until the holiday season starts 😅 #sewing #knitting #custom-made

I spent the day with some of my knits 🧶 at a local Christmas market and I'm very happy with how it went. So I'll start making plans for another one 🙂

My great-aunt knitted this hat for my mother. Both have passed away since. But I would love to make one myself but don't know which stich auntie used, detail on the second picture. She explained it to me, but that was more than 30 years ago! Who can help me!

So good to see the sky again after days of fog and rain. And, yday I say two deer🦌 and today a squirrel 🐿️ within city boundries 🙂 #happiness

I made this shirt for last year's Romania day. La mulți ani! #SewAndTell #sewing 🧶

When you love maps and the Netherlands' waterlands 😉 💚💙

Winter is coming ☃️

This is a learning progress! I knew that knitting through front or back loop matters & also which way around the loop is on needles & purl with yarn in front or back gives a different output. This pattern puts them into practice... After several attempts I think I've got it? Maybe... #knitting 🧶

These are the last tomatoes for this season, I picked them two weeks ago just before the frost, when they were still green 💚🍅

Can you hear the colours? `Wide shot of a warrior in gold armour standing atop a cliff of lime-green stone` #midjourney

Snow :)

Although they may not be a happy addition to your household, dragons make great subjects for needlework. See more at emmasworkbasket.blogspot.com #dragon #needlework

With so many leaves on the forest floor, it must have been one of my loudest walks ever 😅 At least it kept the bears away 🐻

Shout out to the passerby who stopped and thanked traffic so an elderly person walking with difficulty could take their time to cross the street safely 🫶 #kindness

Nurture a plant 💚 #happiness

We celebrated Samhain last night around a bonfire, sharing food & drinks with friends, neighbours & those who passed away. I hope the spirits are happy ✨

All the colours 🤍 #photo

Horror story happening as we speak!! The pinky is going to end up on the same side of the hand as the thumb 🤦‍♀️🙃 #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

Earlier I'd prepared two posts, but then we went on a walk and now I think these #autumn photos are way better for happiness 🤍🍂🏔️

Crossed paths with a bear ;)

#SewAndTell Scary... Well, altering this very expensive dress comes to mind. I was asked to shorten the hem and add loops, so it can be worn as a long, short, or high-low dress. So I cleared my table... took away all distractions... and started. Mindfulness indeed 😅 #sewing 🧶🪡

Socks :) #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

#AIHalloween2025 Day 4 (Vampire) Sorry to disappoint, but there's not actually a tradition of vampires in Transylvania 🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️ `A vampiress with bloodred lips` #midjourney #synthart

First snow of the season 🌨️
