Tussilago Sweater 🌼

It's finally finished! And i am beyond happy with it! Soo comfortable, and the pattern turned out just how i had hoped.

Pattern is available on Etsy and Ravelry!

Wow, didn’t realise I hadn’t posted an update on this in a while. Anyway, the colourwork is completed & I’ve put a lifeline in before I start the ribbing. I am sooo close…..

I finished my sweater ❤️❤️❤️ The pattern is Koivua by Caitlin Hunter which I liberally changed: completely different yarn gauge, left out the texture pattern, mirrored the colourwork on the body and sleeves to make it longer, different cuffs and collar, completely altered the fit (from oversized to tight fitting in the body and sleeves that actually fit my arms and aren't 3 sizes too small - a lot of math that actually payed off ❤️)

Blocking did wonders, the back was bunching up weirdly between the yoke and body colourwork but that's completely gone now! The stitches evened out beautifully as well ❤️

Some ✨ aesthetic ✨ detail shots 😊

Overall, I am SO HAPPY with how this turned out! 🥰🥰🥰 I love the colours, I love the fit, the wool is a bit scratchy but I'm not super sensitive to that so it's fine (and maybe wearing it will soften the wool as well). Now please wish me luck that the weather stays cold for a bit so I can still wear it lots before spring comes! 😃

Bonus picture of Tilly literally less than 5 minutes after I laid the sweater down to dry... 🤦‍♀️

Today I delight in knitting with a beautiful view.

All done with a project! So cute!!

Little Fox sweater by DROPS patterns, size 2 years

Yarn is DROPS Fabel held double, colour 110 Rust, + scraps in white and brown

I designed my own ears, 'cause the og ones felt a little small to me. And look at the buttons!! So happy when I found them in a fabric store!

I think the soy fish pouch might do well here

This is what happens in my brain when I'm on holiday. Just sat down and started knitting a little fish pouch looking like a soy fishy.

He currently hangs from our floor lamp and I love him. Every time I see him I'm instantly delighted.

Currently working on version 2 with duplicate stitched details instead of my bastardised intarsia knitting with awful tension. Do I know how to correctly do patterns in duplicate stitch? No, but I'll try it anyway.

Version 2 will become a little dice pouch for my partner, so I could make the opening more accurate ie smaller. Body shape is also much better already.

For this week's Free Pattern Friday, here's something a little different!

This is the WIP of Saga's Sweater from the Alan Wake 2 video game - someone requested it as a commission piece, and I'm thrilled to do so! And, the wonderful folks at Alan Wake even put out a free pattern! (Hence, the Free Pattern Friday!)

Saga's Sweater Pattern Knitting Guide — Alan Wake

For those of you who are looking for the perfect sweater for this holiday season, or missing that final piece from their Saga cosplay, enjoy

I went with the recommended yarn, so as to colour match to the original game as much as possible; and I'm really, really, hoping my customer likes it when it's done!

(I keep hearing very good things about the Alan Wake series of games, and this has inspired me that I probably should give them a playthrough!)

Do you ever start a knitting project and regret it, but then you’ve spent so long on it you feel like you just have to stick with it? Or are you normal?
