Here is my meager loot from @tante_groen. It was not easy to choose a couple of skeins from their gorgeous collection. I came away with 2 skeins of this beautiful dusky pink yarn hand dyed by the Danish artist duo @birkogberg.

Details: Merino Single by Birk + Berg in color…

When in Copenhagen, buy all the Danish yarn, right?

I didn't have enough time to visit all the shortlisted yarn stores, but I did visit @tante_groen which was a stone's throw away from my hotel.

The yarns and samples displayed at the window was so welcoming. They gave a b…

New pattern coming soon.

Any guesses on what it is?

This picture sums up my feelings towards Copenhagen. The cold winter becomes tolerable because of the kindness of the Danes and their warmth. They work hard, but they also sit back and enjoy life to its fullest. I had read about Hygge, but I got to experience it first hand a…

Today's hand-knit sweater of the day is my Lupinus sweater. I wore it with a pair of jeans but it looks great with a skirt too. I love how it turned out.

Sorry for yet another hotel room mirror selfie.

I finally got to wear my #SammenDress today. The weather was perfect and the dress kept me warm all day.

I was so happy with the dress and its fit, I didn't even mind taking a mirror selfie in a messy hotel room!

The beautiful, colorful #Nyhavn is a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds. Had the most relaxed and yet exciting time here today. A great end to the week before the craziness of next week begins.

And the hat is done! This was such a fun and quick knit, despite using fingering weight yarn and 2.75mm needles.

Though the pattern is for a slouchy hat, I turned into a sort of a beanie as I was afraid of running out of yarn.

I am very happy with the fit! Swipe right to …

It is so hard to photograph a wip hat, especially the one on tiny circular needles, no? Tried taking a creative shot, but now I am not sure it even looks like a hat.

I have been away from insta, but not never away from knitting. I took an intentional semi-break from all for…

Christmas has come and gone, but Santa is yet to handover his final gift.

Santa is holding a bag of beautiful Sunrays yarns to hand over to the winner of the giveaway hosted by @sunrayscreations and me.

Here is my meager loot from @yarnsuntangled. It was a tough task to choose from the wide variety of gorgeous yarns available.

I have no idea what these yarns will turn into. I listened to my heart and picked the hanks which called out my name.

Photo doesn't do justice to…

I have "known" Christine for many years now through Ravelry. I have been a fan of her crafting all these years. Naturally, I had to meet her while I was in her city.

Christine took me out to dinner to a lovely Chinese place and treated me to delicious dumplings and pancake…

When I realized I need to spend 2 weeks in Toronto, I was excited for 2 things: one, to wear all my warm hand knits and two, yarn shopping!

I did the first one to the fullest - hand knit sweaters, tunic, hats, mittens, shawls and what not. They kept me warm throughout my st…

I am on the last few rounds of my #sammen dress. I have a couple of rounds on the sleeves as well.

I need to leave for the airport in 8 hours and I want to finish this dress by then.

It is a race to the finish line.

Do you think I can make it?

These mittens use sock yarn and 2.5mm needles, but they still knit up very quickly.

I love how simple, yet beautiful these are. Just the basic knit, purl and twisted stitches are used to create textural interest. Left and right mittens are made the same way, which is anoth…

My #lupinussweater is blocked and ready for wear.

When I was weaving in the ends, I couldn't help but notice how clean and tidy the WS is. The floats are short, even and so neat. All thanks to the new technique I learnt - to catch the floats as you knit, so that the float …

Loving the color changes so far. I can't wait to finish the section just to see what color pops up next.

This yarn is so dreamy to work with. Soft on the hands, beautiful stitch definition and a treat to the eyes.

Thank you @yes_papa_handmade for this gorgeous yarn.

It is a happy accident when your needles turn out to be as colorful and vibrant as the yarn.

The super soft and colorful yarn is from @yes_papa_handmade.

Before I reveal the winner, here is a short explanation on how I picked the winner.

I didn't use a comment picker as the entries are not based on comments alone. Many of you had shared this as a story which earned you multiple entries. I had to list down…
