Für unser Badezimmer am Meer möchte ich eine zweite Badematte herstellen. Sie soll die typischen portugiesischen Sardinen zeigen und einen (eigentlich nur vor den Hochsee-Inseln anzutreffenden) Wal. Die Farben habe ich bewusst poppig gewählt, um am Morgen einen Gute-Laune-Kick zu verbreiten. Da ich inzwischen weiß, dass sich diese Matten nicht ...

Suddenly, a gas-powered bus drives past us in Lisbon – and on its windows, the city’s sights are smiling at us, represented in a minimal way. I want to imitate this design and capture this moment in a knitted jacket. This way, I can wrap myself up in Lisbon…

For our new apartment, I want to make cushions, and I looked for inspiration every-where.

A new sofa means new cushions: After I finished one in herringbone stitch, I stumbled upon this very similar but quite rare pattern. I’m sure the two cushions will go together nicely.

My cousin renovated her bathroom and asked for a small bath mat with a ginkgo pattern in white and grey. The mat should be thick and absorbent. For this, I used the Double Knitting Technique and a cotton ribbon yarn. Despite the doubled number of stitches because of the two usable sides, this can be knitted fairly quickly using a no. 8 needle. ...

Tentaçao – „Temptation“ is the name of this unusual yarn by the Portuguese manufacturer Rosarios 4.

Everyone who wants to do their part in keeping the beautiful beaches all over the world clean can reduce their plastic use. One way to do so, is by using shampoo and bodywash bars instead the usual shampoos and shower gels in plastic bottles. Bars like these are becoming more and more popular in shops and often come in eco-friendly packaging ma...

Every knitter has experienced this: after you finish a project, you are left with wool because it is always a good idea to buy excess yarn to avoid having deviations in the colours. So I present you with an idea on how to turn cotton sock yarn into small and quickly done gifts. To personalise the glasses case, I have included some examples and ...

An vielen Stellen in Lissabon begegnet einem das Wappen der Stadt. Es basiert auf einer kuriosen Geschichte: Der portugiesische König wollte die Gebeine des Märtyrers Vincent zur Ruhe betten lassen, aber niemand wusste, wo man sie begraben hatte. An heutigen Kap Vicente, über dem Raben kreisten, fand sich die Reliquie. Beim Transport in die Hau...

Yarn needed / benötigtes Garn:

I love lighthouses and thinking about the fact that they are the beacon that leads us home. Portugal has many faróis, as they are called here, in beautiful locations. My “home” lighthouse is at Cabo Espichel – a bright structure in the midst of a wild and romantic landscape. The tower itself is nothing special, I am more interested in the symbo...
