When a bit brings a lot of joy

New bias tape, a photo by lille-ursus on Flickr.

I haven't had any new bias tape for a long, long time. (I really wish that Danish shops would carry more interesting bias tapes).

But a while ago I saw these beautiful ones on Dawanda. Especially the green sparkly one, was super cool. It would be great at the neckline of a dress - and I wouldn't mind if it was my dress. Or maybe at the top of a pocket?

I love it when tiny things creates big smiles...

A fine, fine summer market to visit

Mark the dates with a cross in your calender - I'm sure that you will not be dissapointed.

Maybe it's a pattern she likes?

All the time during studying for her exams, Anne-Sophie has been dreaming of knitting.

When I'm done I would love to knit a sweater, mom. She said that several times - but she kept on reading and didn't give in for the urge to start knitting.

She hasn't decided on any particular pattern yet, so when I saw this lovely and simple sweater on ravelry yesterday, I thought that it would probably be something for Anne-Sophie. It's designed by Lene Holme Samsøe.

The pattern is from the Danish magazine Familie Journalen and is sadly only written in Danish. But it isn't a difficult pattern at all, so I think that you might be able to figure it out just by looking at the sweater, if you are an experienced knitter.

Now I only have to wait until I see Anne-Sophie again, so I can ask her whether it's her future knitting that I have found...

NB! A big thank you to Guro who told me, that the pattern actually is translated into English. You can find it right here. How lovely!!
