For projects to come... There might've been a visit to @garnhyllan today (and then a quick looksie through @knutengarn too. Mostly to see their yarn wall, not gonna lie. It was amazing.). Now I have yarn for a... ... outerwear jacket (Maja). ... Hönsestrik slipover. ... Tee (Aurelia). ... Two pair of socks. (Probably Vandring. Who am I kidding. Ofc) ... cardigan (Silva). ... Summer top (Summer Crop Top). And also some band weaving in flax (for the first time. I'm excited.) I also picked up a ball of Vams for some Planning and Swatching and Thinking. (Thick sweatpants? A wool skirt? We'll see...) As always it was a great visit to my favorite LYS. Now to figure out how/where to store this... #garnhyllan #knutengarn #yarn #LYS #supportyourlys #knittingplans https://www.instagram.com/p/CdiudJxoZyD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grusvägar is done! Blocked and all ends are woven in. I really really like it. It has been one of those projects that was so exciting in the beginning. Knitting the body was a breeze and fun. Something happening on each row. And then... Then I started designing the sleeves. And I was fairly confident I could. I've done that before. I picked up stitches around the sleeve holes and built the shoulder with shortrows. Nothing fancy at all. But it worked out alright. But knitting the sleeves... Oh my god it never ended. 5cm knitting took me like 3 hours to get through. And yeah, I did them two at a time but still... So through pure stubbornness I got to the cuffs... And realized the sleeves were just too wide... Sigh. So I ripped back up to the elbow and reknitted them. I was so sick of this project at the end. But I'm so glad I persevered. It's so nice and soft. A light fingering weight yarn on 4.5mm needles so the fabric is really flowy and airy. It's a mix of wool and cotton and despite knitting it on such thick needles it doesn't feel see through. It filled out really nicely. The yarn is Esther by Permin and I bought it at my LYS @garnhyllan The pattern is Grusvägar from @jarbogarn #knitting #knittersofinstagram #sweaterknitting #grusvägar #garnhyllan #supportyourlys #järbo https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9TEmtoh1U/?utm_medium=tumblr
