Teeny Mrs. Applebomb vest

Mrs. Applebomb

I was feeling sorry for myself being so caught up in everything else other than blogging something new, and started looking through old blog posts of mine. And I noticed there were some I hadn't published yet! Yay! I can have knitting content while I still procrastinate taking pictures of my newest knits!

 

Ok, I'm aware that's not necessarily a good thing, but what the hey, look at this cute baby vest I knit a while ago!

Cute Coraline

Coraline

I'm so happy to finally be able to show you my Coraline cardigan, which I have been working on for a good while now, and which waited for a long time in my shelf before I got the right buttons for it (and actually sewed them on!). But here it is now - and I love it!

 

The pattern is Coraline by Ysolda. I did make quite a lot of modifications, read on for more.

An orange, turquoise and really pretty shrug

Shrug - photo by Nick www.dominikjais.com

Don't you just love it when you dare to try something new, and it works out just perfect? That's what happened with this shrug. I had quite a lot of this yarn left from Nick's Eccentric Sweater so I decided to make myself this shrug, on which I've had my eye on for a good while now. I originally planned to do the cuffs and ribbing in black, but I didn't really have enough yarn to give it a try, so I sticked with the orange.

Sad Sweater's Transformation to Eccentric Sweater is Complete!

Eccentric sweater

The sad sweater you read about a while back is sad no more - it's done and gorgeous!

 

Now this is a truly modular sweater. Part top-down, part bottom-up, part both: one sleeve is top-down, one bottom-up and still I had to rip and reknit both cuffs as they were too short (like the hem, too). I'm so proud of myself not giving up on this project; I didn't even want to at any point!

Owly organic sweater

Owls

I did it! I've knit Owls! Not that that makes me so special - it is currently the most knit sweater pattern on Ravelry , but if you read my blog, you will know that I'm not the big sweater knitter. So every sweater feels like an accomplishment, like having climbed a mountain. In this case, rather small mountain, as this sweater was really quick to knit! And I love it!

Finally, I start Owls

Starting Owls

Here it is. Finally! I bought the yarn for it in March, and finally I have started knitting my Owls sweater.

 

Due to my loose hand and Marks&Kattens Eco Ull yarn (lovely organic 100% wool) I'm knitting on 5mm needles instead of 6,5. I'm still working the L size, hoping that my gauge will match the one given! If not I'll need to lose a few pounds!

I noticed I haven't made a work-in-progress post in a very, very long time! So to fix the loss, here are some of my current WIPs.
