Knitting on Wednesdays

Knitting on Wednesdays

So, here I am from the winter break… yeah, I’m trying to make you believe that the long absence was totally planned :p I won’t bore anyone with details of the holidays but get straight to the point of todays post: Knitting on Wednesdays

I had planned to present all the lovely finished Christmas projects but of course I forgot to take pictures of most of them… so here is just one of the many presents I knit last year, my sister’s cardigan:

This is the pattern and it’s the third pattern I knit from the book New England Knits. The patterns are really well written and I love most of them and I can’t wait to embark on the next project ;) I did some changes, I omitted the third cable because I wanted to add waist shaping. I’m so glad I did, my sister has a lovely waist that needs to be shown off :p It fits perfectly and she has worn it a lot already and gotten compliments for it so this present was a huge success =)

Then I have a personal success to report, the first finished stranded colour work item:

Perianth in Regia cotton, lovely pattern, lovely yarn. Unexperienced knitter, it looks wobbly but I’ve read before that blocking will make a huge difference so let’s wait and see until the other one is finished.

And there are these to projects on the needles:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Shalom cardigan (which I’m knitting in a quite different gauge, so lots of changes) and Caprio which is about halfway finished.

So this is it, more on Friday!
