2024: year of socks?
I've made a lot of socks for other people. I loved these ones from last winter, which I never got final snaps of and are now gone. They were perfect in every way; the right colors, the right pattern, executed just as I had envisioned in my mind (this does not happen all the time for me, unfortunately).
f.o. : piilo sweater.
This is the Piilo Sweater by Jonna Hietala and it's lovely. The pattern is quite clear and the end results are gorgeous and quite comfortable.
f.o. : hilma sweater.
Honestly, this Hilma Sweater by Amy Blackwell I knit last winter was quite the labor of love. I adore Pom Pom Quarterly. Every issue, I covet a ton of the designs. And the collection as a whole is so beautiful--it's fashion.
f.o. : gr8 gingham.
This sweater was a love/hate knit for me. I absolutely love this pattern--Gr8 Gingham Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs--and the effect of knitting it with the colors in the original sample, which are so not colors I would normally go for but...I went in.
f.o. : bistripe hat.
I haven't made too many hats in recent years because it is indeed true: you can have too many hats and you can gift too many hats. That being said, Bistripe Beanie by James Watts came along and who said too many hats?
w.i.p.: the balan cardigan.
Please help me find the inspiration and brain space to pick up the amazing Balan Cardigan by Emily Greene that I started last spring.
