Another year over...

Time to look back and choose my favourite 2017 projects. I really enjoyed all the projects I finished this year (I probably wouldn't have finished them if I didn't), but two projects really stood out among all of them.

The first one must be my first ever fully stranded pair of socks. I knit them in Regia 4-ply and Lang Yarns Super Soxx on 2.5 mm needles. I just love these socks - I am in fact wearing them as I am writing this.



Irish Dream is a free pattern!


And then there was this cardigan... big, and colourful!  The yarn I used was Crelando Maike - lovely colours and wonderful to work with. The only slight drawback is that it is prone to pilling. Anyway, my favourite garment this summer (yes, I wore this in August... because just because the calendar says it's summer doesn't mean it feels like it). One day when I was walking trough town a woman asked me if I knit this myself... she seemed almost disappointed when I said yes - I think she had secretely hoped I could tell her where to buy one.


Another free pattern by the way... Just the right angle.
