Kruidvat Black Amber and Ginger Lily Candle Review
Hi guys,
When I stumbled upon this gorgeous looking scented candle at Kruidvat (which is a well known drugstore in the Netherlands and Belgium) a few weeks back, I just had to take it home with me!
Why, you ask? Well, not only because it’s looking gorgeous and smelling heavenly, obviously, it also has the names of both my daughters engraved in the glass! As soon as I spotted those names in the scent of this candle, Amber and Ginger, I just had to buy it!
The Black Amber and Ginger Lily candle smells divine, warm, cosy and a bit sweet, with woody and slightly flowery notes. I think I also detected a hint of Vanilla in there. It’s heaven!
I love scented candles, they make any room look cosy and smell good. Available in both black and white, a scented candle from Kruidvat does match with every interior. They’re available in a three pits version and multiple scents too so there’s a scent for everyone!
Question:
What’s your favorite scent when it comes to room scents and scented candles?
These two beauties arrived the day after I left for my trip so i am only just getting to squish them, but how beautiful are these autumnal hues from the sweetest @joanieunravelled

I am having a bit of an existential crisis today. I look at Ravelry and there are literally millions of knitting patterns. Does the knitting world really need any more from myself? My practical mind answers “no” but my heart says “yes!” simply because I love knitting so much. It’s not like I am going to stop knitting, or making up my own patterns since it is so much fun. And then there is yarn, just waiting to be played with, like this stunning trio from @countessablaze that I am going to wind up shortly to knit while I go travelling next week (I am so into greens and blues right now). So I guess I will stick with it for now and shut my inner doubter . If you have read this far, do you ever have doubts about what you do and how much use there is to it? What do you do about it?

I’ve been working on three new designs but unfortunately I can’t show any of them yet as they are not for me but a collaboration which I am very excited about! But I have just knitted a swatch in that pale lilac yarn for the first sweater design of mine. I knitted the swatch in three different needle sizes and unhappy about all of them . So going to undo this swatch and try it in yet another size to get the fabric I want, good thing this yarn is a joy to knit with. .

This is a photo from last autumn, but that’s the mood I am gearing towards, now October is here: wooly socks, copious amounts of hot tea, beeswax candles, preserves and dry flowers - the ultimate cosiness accessories.
Happy October, everyone!

A little bit of Kefir and relaxing sock knitting before we leave our hotel and set off for our last day in Amsterdam. Our flight is not until 9pm, so we have got plenty of time for a few things I had on my list. We have booked tickets to see Christopher Robin at Pathe Tuschinski cinema and then we are off to Botanical Gardens. However I am so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight! Have a good day, everyone!

Bottom ribbing on the sweater should be finished today and then the sleeves! Which means I can come back to knitting on that sea green project and cast on a new one! I need the variety!

Today’s main achievements: managed to knit quite a bit on my shawl, despite ridiculous heat and bake a loaf of bread, that turned out so light with a crunchy crust thanks to the method by lovely Daki @ducklington.designs that she has written out step by step on her blog. Thank you so much for the recipe, Daki! My breads usually come out a bit dense but this one is perfect, even though I halved the recipe and didn’t have any wholemeal flour, (added 20g of wholegrain Rye flour for some natural yeasts to 480g of white bread flour). Any achievements to boast about, dear knitters? .

It doesn’t look like I made any progress on this shawl, does it, bit I did, in fact I finished it, blocked, didn’t like it, and frogged it . This is attempt N2. I messed up the rate of increases so the shape was all wrong. At least now I know what I am knitting hopefully I will finish it in no time!
Have a beautiful week everyone!

Mittens finished! If any of you, guys, fancy knitting a pair of warm mittens in the middle of summer let me know! I am about to find a couple of testers. It should be a pretty straightforward knit (famous last words ). Also, spot the difference. The mitten on the left is blocked and on the right - isn’t, and has just been finished.
Have a lovely hump day, everyone! .

When the day starts right - I bound off this shawl/scarf I made up on the go with @pehorka_official yarn I bought in Belarus and I am quite pleased with it. I then went for a walk through a meadow we have behind our house and picked some buttercups for a vase. Buttercups can be pretty invasive so thinning them out does other flowers good! Hope you are having a good Thursday too

I have just published the pattern for this shawl. I called it Summer Night shawl, not very original but I feel it is a fitting name. Sock yarn makes it light and somewhat cool to the touch yet warm and comforting if it slightly chilly outside. Oh and it is just £1 (plus VAT for some unfortunately ) until next Wednesday

How awesome is this brooch by @donifolk inspired by Russian folklore? It is adorning my newly finished shawl. I am knitting another version of the shawl in a more repeatable yarn (this shawl is knitted in my hand-dyed yarn) and I have the pattern all written down already

This is my combination of something I have to do (knit endless stockinette) and something I want to do - crochet endless Jasmine stitch
