Lemon trees are still bearing fruit everywhere, so we're enjoying the local lemons. Sponge cake made with lemon zest is one favourite. Best enjoyed still warm together with a cup of plain black tea with honey and a lemon slice.
Sometimes I fascinate about the art of producing a knitted garment. The thing that fascinates me most is how little equipment is needed to produce something so functional. Some yarn and a pair of straight pegs. Of course the knitting time too is a relevant factor, probably best described by the art "More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid" by Mike Kelley (via billigt-garn, in Swedish). But that is a whole different chapter.
The cardigan I'm proudly presenting is the recently finished Atelier by knit pattern designer Heidi Kirrmaier. Knit in Madelinetosh's Pasmina, a beatiful hand coloured yarn in a merino, silk and cashmere mix. I enjoyed knitting with the yarn and really appreciated the geniousness of the pattern. As I run out of yarn, the pocket linings where partially knit with a contrasting yarn.

Beautiful cardigan. The construction looks interesting and the yarn is lovely.
I'm having a honey and lemon drink now :)
Thanks. The cardi was a really welcome piece in the unusually chilly winter weather here.
Hi Elena,
I love your pictures - I can smell the lemons and the sea! Swantje
Thank you Swantje. I wish I had more time photographing our new surroundings here. There's so much interesting that I would like to share on this little space.
This cardigan is very beautiful !
Thank you angeeza. I was very inspired browsing through your blog this afternoon. You make such lovely things and I like that you are using various handicraft techniques such as sewing, knitting, pearls etc.
