Colorwork - Tumblr Posts
This one has been finished for a while, but sadly I haven't had the change to wear it yet. It's the Méli-Mélo pattern by Yasmin E. on etsy. But I knitted with steeks instead, since I find it easier to do colour-work that way.
a little knit update - I’ve started and am almost done with the Birdsong Sweater and I am over the moon with it.
New scarf! I got inspired by the pink and military green combo while doing other projects and decided I needed to try a floral pattern with it!
Around halfway through, I decided to make a matching star keychain/bunny to go with it just for fun!
So happy with how it turned out!
Here’s a mushroom cowl I knit!
The cowl design is by HuntHandKnits on ravelry and Etsy, this cowl also has a crotchet version.
another sweater is done .. the pattern is haze sweater from the knit purl girl and the yarn is studio donegal .. i’m happy with how it turned out !

A little preview of my first proper pattern design inspired by William Morris's willow pattern. Still have a lot if work to do but hopefully it should be available in August.
scarf update: officially longer than my dining table and the end is in sight! By which I mean I still have a good 30cm (possibly more) to go which will take me about 2 or 3 more weeks lmao
Cats! I think this turned out super cute! Worked up pretty fast, too, surprisingly.
I am trying a new brand of yarn (alize: Diva) to see how it works out. Overall, I like it and will likely continue using it in the future.
Finished the colorwork on the first mushroom sock for my dad. This was my first time using three different colored yarns and it was a little overwhelming to manage.
I'm not gonna think about how long it took me to get the second sock done (second sock syndrome +cycling season+too warm inside to think about touching wool) but it is done! Fun exercise, though I found the way the heel and toe were constructed very annoying (would rather do the alternate slip/knit approach than juggle strands from the inside and outside of the ball).
Baby's first Fair Isle project
Honestly devastating that I finished this in the middle of summer when it is too warm to wear. This does however give me time to get together a hat, scarf, gloves etc using the leftover yarn.
Pattern: Folly Skirt by Espace Tricot
Yarn: Léttlopi by Ístex
The Joan of Arc sweater is complete! Made entirely out of secondhand acrylic yarn. Started April 22nd, finished July 11th.
