Here's an update of my latest hand knit diy project ; I started this just before the new year and finished it just yesterday. Must say I'm incredibly pleased with the result, although I still want to adjust some minor details in the pattern.

The sweater is slightly see-through, but can be easily worn with a nude top or silky blouse .. love the combination of luxury wools with silk and lace

For those who like to knit themselves, I'm seriously considering writing patterns of all my diy projects to sell them online.

Might take a little while as I'm currently in my exam time of year .. if you guys have any questions or suggestions on this .. let me know !

Everyone in my family knows I'm a keen knitter. Although my workshop days are over, I still have fun making stuff for the people close to me. My stepdaughter asked me to make something for her own little girl as it was impossible to find something chunky and sweet for a 4y old girl and her tiny size. What I'm saying here is, I wasn't in any kind of knitting mood, but she triggered my knitting skills to get started again.

As a photographer, you've always got loads of work and post processing stuff to do, but sometimes you'll find the time, in between shoots and assignments, to do something else. Hence the knitting needles.

And it's almost Winter after all, right ?

So after I made the hat for Romy, I wanted to make that super expensive chunky jacket for myself.

My friend Valery promised me to order one from me as soon as I made the perfect fit and model. And so I did. The wool is super soft and fluffy and as we speak, am currently working on that grey one for her. Hope she wants to pose with it as soon as it's finished ; I'll promise to share some images with you guys and girls.

Finally found the time to start AND finish this wonderful mohair knit jacket.

Don't you just love the oversized fit ? When I first saw my friend Nathalie wearing her similar but VERY EXPENSIVE one last year I knew I had to get (= make) me one some day.

And so I did. In about 3 nights, in front of the telly, I picked up my needles and wool and made this beautiful fluffy jacket. It looks a bit more pink in the picture ; IRL it's a soft lilac with a silky shine.

After I posted this on both my Instagram and FB accounts, my mailbox got bombarded by pretty pleases and if I would make another one for her and oh yeah .. her too.

Oh well, might as well enjoy it in between photoshoot assignments.

Here's the link where you can order the jacket. Currently working on a champagne colored model.

It's coming up online pretty soon.
