2 weeks ago it started to feel severely fall’ish. And I started itching for some knitting projects. But before the new yarn arrives, I demanded from myself to finish some projects that I had on the needles, and definitely use up some yarn that I had purchased previously but hadn’t knitted with. All in all, I didn’t do a lot of sewing but got some good chunks of knitting in. I am actually looking forward to fall!
This is what I got done so far:
Lana Fingerless Glove, a free pattern by Nancy Ricci from GettingPurlyWithit. Pattern available here.
Super fast project that uses less then 1 skein.
Out of the same yarn I also made another WholeSome Slouch which is an adaption of a very chunky hat but knitted in a DK yarn. I plan on writing it up in a snazzy .pdf pattern but haven’t gotten to it yet.
A Cowl Neck that I called the Definity Cowl. Super easy to knit, uses 3 skeins of Super Bulky Rowan Big Wool (I had 2 skeins in my stash and had to purchase a 3rd to make the cowl wide enough). Love this and know it’ll be a great companion in winter as it can be worn in so many ways. Again, a little instructional .pdf is soon to follow.
Aaand last but not least a little sweater for L. I dyed the wool last year in the natural dying class and when I saw this design, I knew it was the perfect style for a little girl’s sweater. Lots of new techniques for me like Kitchener Stitch, Provisional Cast on with crochet needle. I customized a bit because I ran out of yarn and had to finish the hood and front. So used a concoction of coordinating colors to finish. And if you look closely, you’ll notice some color variation in the main body. This was due to me not taking out the hanks simultanuously from the modifying bath (Washing Soda) but one after the other. I book it as another lesson learned.
