While juggling something that feels like a thousand ideas for new patterns, a teething baby and work at the same time I am sometimes wondering how I still have time for knitting. But the hole in the space-time and some sleepless nights make it possible, and so I’m still designing. Here’s a glimpse of my desk. I had the idea when I was making my giraffe mittens and the polar bear mittens last year and now I finally got to making them. And since it’s only half the fun without a pattern for you lovely people I’m writing it down now.

Oh, and the cutiepie horse in the background? It just arrived at our house yesterday. I’m in love with handmade things (can you tell?) and I found this wonderful shop on Etsy that sells handmade wooden toys and just HAD to get it. I don’t understand how buying plastic toys made in masses in a factory in Asia seems more appealing to people sometimes. Honestly, I could spend HOURS looking for new and fun things (don’t get me started on yarns!), if only the day had more hours…

While I’m writing this pattern, another one is already in testing. And the fox gloves went into my Etsy-shop.
