Look At My New Scarf!

30 Nov

Isn’t it super pretty?

It is a traveling scarf, done by the lovely ladies in the Scarf Journeys group on Ravelry. Unfortunately, I had to bow out of this scarf journey because of health issues, but the members taking part were super kind and finished my scarf anyway. I’m so happy, it’s beautiful and so warm.

Another Spaceman Nicolino for Nicolas

26 Nov

Last year, I gave the prototype I knit for my Spaceman Nicolino to Nicolas, who gave his name to this pattern. He was a newborn then. His mum liked it so much that she asked if I could knit him one for this winter as the first one is way too small now. So, here it is, modeled by my 6-year old (hopefully it won’t be too big for Nicolas).

Scarf & Mitts Set

24 Nov

I finished this set recently for a present. Two garter stitch-based patterns which go well together.

The scarf is “My Garter Slipped Scarf” and the fingerless mitts are the “Garter Stitch Mitts”.

The yarn is Melinda by Woll Butt.

Alpsee In Use

19 Nov

A little while ago I posted about some beautiful new Tausendschön Sock Yarn I’d just got. Well, I just found some use for the Alpsee colour! Unfortunately I can’t share pictures as I’m knitting socks that I tested for a fellow designer a while back. These socks are due for publication and no pictures can be shared before they are published. Instead, you get a glimpse at the ball of yarn ;)

My Beautiful Icelandic Vest

6 Nov

I have finally blocked my vest and was able to wear it for the first time today (I still have it on as I’m typing this). I love how warm it is in the cold yet how nice it still is to wear indoors. It’s definitely fine in the house.

I’m wearing it with a long-sleeved top as the wool is a little bit scratchy. Here is what it looks like on me:

The pattern is the “Létt-Lopi Vest” and can be found here.

OP Poncho

4 Nov

I’m getting a shoulder operation on 2nd December and will have to keep my arm in a sling for the following 3 weeks. December being a pretty cold month, I figured a poncho would be the perfect accessory for those first post-op weeks, as it is easy to slip on with one hand.

I knit this pattern from DROPS but ignored the colour-work. The yarn is Melinda by Woll Butt.

Here is a picture. I think it turned out quite nicely and it’s nice and warm! :D
