Broderie is finished

I decided to go with the buttons I had bought, and finally finished the cardigan earlier this week.

It is difficult to capture the real colour; it is less blue and more green.
 
Pattern: Broderie by Connie Chang Chinchio
Yarn: Drops Muskat colour 74 petrol around 9 or 10 balls

Conundrum

Broderie cardigan is almost done. Some ends to weave in and fix the closure. I’ve put it off for a while now but a few days ago I decided to get it over with. But as I tried to position the buttons, it just didn’t feel right.

I did have a small ball of yarn [...]

Progress

My white top-down raglan is coming along nicely. I’m taking a short break while I figure out how long I want it. It’s on 4.5 mm needles so it is rather quick, which is good so it will be finished before I get tired of all the stockinette.

In the meantime a new project has [...]

Will the yarn be enough?

I’m at home sick, but not too sick as I have just enough energy to knit and listen to a book.
Broderie is progressing slowly but surely. One of the sleeves are knitted to their final length, but not cast off. Hopefully the yarn will be enough to make the second sleeve equally long.

A sweater for an octopus

I’ve knitted an octopus worth of sleeves on my Broderie. I do not like seaming, but there was a time when I really questioned not knitting the sleeves as the pattern said.  Unfortunately I am not sure how much yarn I have. Therefore the top down approach.
Hopefully, I am now knitting the final version of [...]

I like progress

Knitting in France

I’m in France for a workshop for work. The weather is great. Yesterday was sunny and about 30 degrees C. I got burnt, especially on my forehead and chest. So today I’ll stay in the shade and get some more knitting done.
I brought only one project – Broderie. But I knew it wouldn’t be a [...]

Two new hats to warm my ears

A beautiful morning

A beustiful sunrise:

Yesterday morning that is. I’ve made some progress on the Fiddlehead mittens. I spun the last colour after I finished knitting, and now I’m just waiting for the last contrast colour to dry to finish the first mitten. Or at least half the first mitten. Lining will be added after I finish both.

There’s [...]

Finished the jaywalker sock

Pattern: Jaywalker by Grumperina (Formerly on Magknits. Ravelry link)
Yarn: Järbo 2-ply hand dyed by me with food colouring.
Needles: 2.5 mm double pointed metal needles.

Notes: The sock fits perfectly. I think i like toe up socks better, not that I have much experience with either. Maybe I’ll make the second sock someday.

I’ve been home from work [...]
