Mother's Day (ss#12)

yes, it's today, 26th that is (in Poland).



(pictures from Colmar, of course ;-))

progress, finally

it seemed a never-ending stockinette flow. it took me three weeks, two trips (one abroad, no knitting needles allowed on the plane) and one family event to finish the back of this blue top. now, the arm seams will be grafted and the collar will be knitted. no idea for the collar, really, except that it'll be a shawl-like one, not as in the original design.

(i'm back)

not knitting

stress and a family life instead...

not so much to show

and will stay that way for a couple more days. i'll be out of town ;-)

so far, the progress on the blue top is not especially impressive. the front, and only part of the back. apparently, i've got other things than knitting on my mind...



p.s. i know the photo sucks... bad light the whole day.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

i don't like stockinette stitch

so, i cast on for a new project. it's based on the brown top by Lana Grossa, but i am going to change the collar, knit it more shawl-like. the yarn is a gift i got a few (10?) years ago and did not have any idea what to use it for. the colour is something in between first two and the last photo.



now i ~only have to make my way through the seas of almost plain stockinette, ugh...

grey leaves scarf

ready at last. just ~in time for spring, he he he.
i've seen the leaves pattern here, just a picture, though. i sort of figured out how to knit it (from soft merino by Wolle Roedel, again no badge to check the yarn details) and... it took me only 7 months to complete it. in another half a year, will be ready for wearing. this is called planning ;-).



a more detailed view of the pattern:

tubey 1.2

pattern: tubey
yarn: Siena Big 100% merino superwash (80m/50g) by Wolle Roedel. unfortunately, the badges were thrown away during the move so i can't give the exact colorway.
needls: 3.5mm



it's a warm sweater, nice to wear and enjoy during the evening walk. i like the pattern and the construction of the sweater, however, the pattern required some changes to fit my body shape (narrow arms and, well, busty chest).
