Tusseladd Polar Sweater from Monas Creativity

Pattern is from this book; Tusseladd Polar.

I used Viking Hobbygarn. I went up one size and added a few rounds in the top pattern.

Always some yarn left for a scrap project.

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I pulled out this cake of lace weight yarn and decided to try something perhaps a little crazy. I decided to try to make a boxy sweater.

The good news is that the back is just a big rectangle. I used a 20 row hung hem. I used the drop shoulder sweater pattern from The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges. It is a great place to start your sweater-knitting journey if you are a hand knitter. I found converting the stitch counts to machine knitting easy.

Knitting the front of the ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

First, let's talk about creativity. This is what my cutting table looked like on Saturday afternoon. I'm in the middle of more than a couple things. This is my normal state of being and it works for me. Some days it doesn't, but Saturday was a good day. That contraption is the Silver Reed LK150 knitting machine. It is one of the least expensive knitting machines you can get. I borrowed it from a friend to see if I liked working with it.

I fiddled around. I made some swatches. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos ...

Itch-to-Stitch Bellavista Top from Dizzy Quilts

I always find it a little bit difficult to figure out what to wear at this time of year because where I live, the temperature can change drastically from one day to the next or even during the same day! That is why I love cardigans so much. You can start the day with the cute top and a cardigan but around Noon, take off the cardigan and just wear the cute top. This time of year is also awesome for wearing lightweight sweaters with 3/4 length sleeves.

And that is why I decided to make the Itch-to-Stitch Bellavista ...

A New Navy Seamwork Oliver from Dizzy Quilts

As written in my 2021 goals, I'm hoping to fill some gaps in my wardrobe this year. I haven't yet purged my closet or written down what gaps I need to fill, but I do know a navy sweater will come in handy for the rest of the winter and into spring - the temperatures do remain pretty low here until April or May.

For my new navy sweater, I chose a pattern I've done before - the Seamwork Oliver. You can read about my wine Liverpool version here. It is a very simple design, pretty easy sew and ...

Sleeveless Sweater Finished! from Quilting Stories

Happy to finish, and to present you my new sweater. I have shown the progress of it in my previous post.

I am not a specialist of taking selfies in a mirror, and I must say I had a hard time achieving "proper" pictures

Knitted Sleeveless Sweater from Quilting Stories

Happy to find at last a pattern requiring only 5 wool balls, as I have several batches of 5 balls in my stash.

Pattern found here : Click. Susanne's blog is a Danish one, although the google translation is a mess and I could rely on the numbers and the pictures (thanks for those close pictures!) to progress with my knitting... I am quite anxious regarding the completed result...

Elsa Sweater Finish from Dizzy Quilts

During the long winter months, I love to wear snuggly sweaters with leggings on the weekend. So I've been on the look-out for a sweater pattern along with a good sweater knit to go along with it. I can't remember where I found it or even when I found it, but I eventually came across the Elsa Sweater by DG Patterns.

The sweater came together fairly easily but I did struggle a little bit with the cuffs. Not sure if it was my fault (if I made a mistake when I printed the pattern), but I couldn't ...

Nord alpaca sweater from Monas Creativity

This is the Christmas present I made for my son.
Pattern: “Nord” from Sandnes yarn. Booklet «Tema 51 Norske ikoner»
Yarn: Puno from Rauma Yarn
The pattern calls for "Fritidsgarn" wool yarn, but he is very sensitive, so I chose to use alpaca instead after recommendations in my local yarn shop. My son is between size M and L, I knitted him and L with this yarn, but ended up a little smaller than desired. He will hopefully use the sweater anyway, he is spending the next 5 months at Svalbard; an arctic island.
