I’ve got mail

Today my Interweave knits finally came. Decided to knit the Tangled yoke cardigan, just have to find out which colour I’m going to choose. Hopefully a trip to the yarn store tomorrow would make it clear. After seeing the Composed Mitts here, I just loved the colour combinations, and it’s been a very long time since a last did some colourwork.

I’ve finished my striped sweater, but I have to weave in the ends before posting some pictures. Also I’ve finished the offwhite Le’Slouch. Prefer the one which is a bit more slouchy, but I like the brown colour better. So since I had finished all my projects and still waiting on my IK fall, I’ve cast on for the Fetching Wristwarmers. A fun knit and a chance to use some leftovers.

 

Sunday

I’ve been down with a cold this weekend, therefore I haven’t done much apart from knitting. It’s my nephew’s birthday tomorrow, and I’ve made some socks for him. Found some 4ply soft from my stash and used a pattern from Pinnsvin design as my guide.

I’ve cast on for a new Le’ Slouch this week, trying to make this slightly more slouchy. Today I’ve also watched “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” for the first time. After all not so bad to be sick on a Sunday, but I really hopes that I’m better tomorrow, cause there’s just time to be sick.

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.
