Transitions and Recent Knitting

1/3/2017

It's been a few months since I last posted on this blog. One reason for my absence is that my interests have been shifting. Up to this point, my blog has been focused on knitting, and particularly my design work. Recently though, I haven't been doing much designing and I've been exploring some other pursuits such as sewing. So I've decided to transition my blog from being a knitting blog to a blog where I share all kinds of things that I'm making (and I'm sure that will still include a lot of knitting).  :)

In the meantime, I'll take a couple of posts to fill you in on what I've knit during my recent hiatus from blogging.

First off, a pair of fingerless mitts from my Traverse Mitts pattern. I mentioned that I might make myself a set, and so I did! These are made from Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport.

Second, I made a rather large and exciting project: a sweater! I used Jennifer Wood's lovely Idril pattern and Malbrigo Sock yarn in the "Fresco Y Seco" colorway. I love the Celtic look of the cables on this sweater. I highly recommend Jennifer Wood's work; her sweater designs are gorgeous and her patterns are quite well written. I'm actually making a cardigan from another of her patterns right now.

But back to Idril. This sweater is worked from the top down in one piece, with picked up stitches and increases to create the look of a set-in sleeve. You can see a few more pictures on my Ravelry project page here.

I also have a new toy knitting pattern available! These are the Bear Pair, from the Knit and Crochet Toys special issue magazine. Both bears are worked following the same instructions, but with different yarn weights for a large difference in sizes. If you'd like to make your own bear (or pair of bears) you can buy the individual pattern here or the full magazine here.

Thank you all for reading my blog and supporting my knitting endeavors. Happy 2017!
