Nordic Cardigan

 

I don't make clothing that often anymore because when you buy the nice yarns it actually turns out to be very expensive in the end. 

I noticed these Nordic style sweaters are quite popular again. I made a few of them in the 1970ties when I was a teenager and I felt a strong urge to make one again so here is the result. 

It was a fun project and I'm happy with the result. 

Right now it's on display on my mannequin, no need for a warm cardigan when it's over 30C. But this winter I'll probably have more reasons to wear it.

The pattern is free on DROPSdesign

Holiday Season

 

This Holiday season I decided to take it easy and not advertise to make items on order.

I only worked on things I felt like making myself and it turned out to be a very relaxing time.

I still displayed some stuff at Michelle's clinic and here are some of the favourites for this 2023 Christmas.

Wishing everyone a Happy and most importantly a HEALTHY 2024!

Wild Animals

I finally made some of the "Wild Animals" from the new Louise Crowther book.

Isabelle the Giraffe and Hugo the Zebra have joined the rest of the animals.

My shelf is full now. 

I guess I'll have to add a new shelf because I don't think I'll stop knitting (haha).

Update

And here is Charlie the Chimpanzee, he's also very cute.

Sport jerseys

I had someone ask me if I could do a hockey jersey for the Montreal Canadians. 

I like a challenge so I started working on it. 

It actually turned out really nice (customer was very happy too). 

After posting that jersey on social media I had another request for a Toronto Maple Leaf jersey and ended up doing a couple of those.

Being a big baseball fan myself I decided to add the Toronto Blue Jays jersey to the collection.

So here are all three of them together!

Pride

I received a request for a rainbow dress to celebrate PRIDE month.

I don't know why I never thought about making one before, it turned out so cute. 

And I always have lots of leftover yarn in every colour you can think of. 

So it's also a great way to use up some of that for a great cause.
