Let’s repair my handmade sweater together! ❤️‍🩹 As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago I was coming back home from @Abilmente Milano when someone on the train got my sweater caught on their suitcase, ripping it without even turning around to check or apologize 😭 I was so sad… but knitting surgery can fix everything, so here we are! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 I’m so happy with the result 🥹 I honestly wasn’t sure it could turn out this well! I’m also really happy to share this little repairing journey, because I believe that everything we make by hand with so much love and care can always be fixed, changed or evolved 🥰 Do you think you’d be interested in a longer and more detailed version of this repair process, maybe on YouTube? Just let me know! And enjoy this great result! 😍 🪡 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - • #knitting #knit #knitlove #knitwear #knittersgonnaknit #knitknitknit #knittok #knittininspiration #knitter #knittingsurgery #repair #sweater #handmade #handmadesweater #sweaterrepair #knittedjumper #mending #repairiscare #kiwalss #kiwalssbrand

Knit my first commission with me! 😍 And also my very first project using DPNs! 🤪🙆‍♀️ This little one wasn’t easy to make, but I loved the challenge! I’m proud to have finally unlocked the magic of DPNs so expect me to enter my sock era very soon😂🧦 I don’t usually take commissions, but this time I was truly happy to 🥰 A couple of friends are expecting their first baby and gave me the mission to knit their little one’s very first handmade plushie 🥹 It meant a lot to me. I grew up surrounded by plushies, and they were such an important part of my childhood. So being asked to create something that might become one of this baby’s first stuffed friends, and maybe even part of their most precious memories, felt like a real honor to me. I put a lot of care into choosing and assembling all the materials: this little penguin is made of 100% baby merino Superwash wool, and every detail is hand-sewn to ensure it’s durable, machine-washable, and safe. I’m sure he’ll fulfill his mission beautifully 🥰 The lovely design is by @Tsvikevich Kristina 🐧 🪡 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - • #mothersday #happymothersday❤️ #littlepenguin #penguin #handmade #handmadepenguin #handknit #handknitplushie #plushies #knittedtoys #loveknit #knitlove #knit #knitting #knittersgonnaknit #knittinginspiration #knitter #knitted #knittedpenguin #kiwalss #kiwalssbrand

Bodies change, clothes don’t. Unless you knit them 🌚 In 2023, I made this beautiful tee as a test knit, and I love it so much that I’m honestly upset I can’t wear it as much as I’d like! My body has changed over the past two years: my arms are a bit bigger and I’ve gained more muscle in my back (thanks to horse riding twice a week, lol) so this made-to-measure knit no longer fits me properly 📐 I also realized I might not have made the best yarn choice for where I live, it’s always either too hot or too cold for a 100% wool tee 😅 The thing is, I put so much time and effort into creating this lovely tee, and I don’t want to just frog it or let it sit abandoned in my wardrobe. So… it’s knitting surgery time! 🤪 Here’s the plan: • I added a lifeline so I can reattach the body later using Kitchener stitch • I carefully frogged the sleeves and separated the yoke from the body • I’m going to add some yoke length, some sleeve stitches, and some body length before re-sewing the body on (I did the math) 🫡 I’m acting like a cool girl doing all this, but the truth is I’m scared af and that scissors cut hurt my soul SO bad, lollll. But I’m taking the risk, trusting the process, and hoping everything turns out fine 🐣 Wish me luck 🥲 Maybe I could even add some sleeve length and turn it into a sweater, what do you think? 🥰 Follow along to see the process! ☕️ 🪡 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - • #knit #knitlove #knittinginspiration #knittingsurgery #happyknitting #knittedtee #stapletee #newwaveknitting #meriwool #meriwoolwak #wak #weareknitters #knitting #knittersgonnaknit #knitwear #knitknitknit #handmade #kiwalss #kiwalssbrand
