Flat lay view of a sweater knitting project and a ball of bright yellow yarn on a white plank background. There is a very puffy sleeve being worked, the stitches are on a circular knitting needle.

In the this picture, this sleeve has been knit to its intended length. Time to switch to the other one, before knitting the decreases and cuffs on both! 😃

Flat lay view of a bright turquoise lace shawl in kid silk yarn on a circular knitting needle together with the ball of yarn on a black plank background.

Again not that much of an update on this project. I did make some pictures on a dark background, to show you how lovely the patterning is! 😃

A pink knitting project in garter stitch with its ball of yarn on a white background. Next to it, is a champagne glass with a pink bubbly drink.

We had some lovely weather. I celebrated it with a lovely pink, bubbly drink! Purely coincidence that it matches my project 😄

Remember this shawl? The test knitting is done, so the pattern for this design will be released soon! 😃

1 skein and 1 ball of bright yellow yarn on a white plank background.

Two of the yarn skeins are a bit darker, so I undid my original swatch. Now, I need to figure out how to deal with the crinkled yarn. Using it as-is would mess with the gauge, so I'll avoid that. 🤔

A knit shawl in pink yarn on circular knitting needles. It's pictured on a white plank background together with a new ball of the yarn.

As you can see, the first of the 2 balls of pink yarn for the body of this new shawl is all knit up. So, I attached the second one 😃

Flat lay view of a sweater knitting project and a ball of bright yellow yarn on a white plank background. There is a very puffy sleeve being worked, the stitches are on a circular knitting needle.

This other sleeve now also has some more length. Looking at it, I'm wondering if I should introduce some tapering from round 60 onward, before doing the big decrease just before the cuffs. Thoughts? 🤔

A large white and black cat is lying on some fold laundry on top of a wooden table. His head rests on a neat stack of folded hand knit socks. He is looking into the camera.

Folding laundry with Oreo around is always tricky. He does love my hand knit socks! 😄 Have a lovely Monday! 😃

Flat lay view of 3 balls of pink yarn, and 1 in blue. They are shown on a light wooden background.
