Next project

I love the autumn, my personal knitting season. However it’s also the season for trying to decide what to knitting. Here is two alternatives I’m considering Neaty and Alpine Shrug, I’m not sure what to choose. Initially I would like to make a raglan (yoke?) cardigan or sweater, but I haven’t managed to find a pattern I like. I don’t think that I’ve the courage to make my own pattern. Any thoughts?

Blogging again.

It’s been so long since I’ve blogged, but I haven’t stopped knitting. I’ve decided to start blogging again, and hopefully the autumn outside while make it easier for me to keep my intention this time. Here is some of what I’ve been working lately.

Hermia

Pattern: Hermia by Rowan Studio 4

Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Wool, colour Emerald 135

Needles: 4,5mm and 5,5mm

Started: Mid-August 2007

Finished: Mid-September 2007

Notes: Loved knitting this sweater, the yarn was a lovely to knit with. However I wish that I had knitted it a bit smaller. But I’m sure Hermia will come in handy when the winter enters.

Le’ Slouch

Pattern: Le ‘ Slouch from “Knit and Tonic”.

Yarn: Cashmerino aran, colour 008

Needles: 4.5mm and 5mm.

Notes: I chose to knit this with stockinett stitches. Since I changed the needle size, I started with 72 stiches, and increased to 108. I loved the pattern, and will probably make several of these, probably a bit more “slouchy”.

Work in progress
I’ve picked up an UFO, realizing that I had only one arm left. It is knitted in this lovely alpacca. The pattern is from RyClassic Alpaca. I’m looking forward to wear this sweater.

  

An other project I’ve started is knitting a simple scarf/shawl of Kidsilk Haze. Probably the most simple knitting project in a long time.
