#ShowMeYyou're Great you're back, Liv! This my most loved piece of knitting I've ever made. It's the #FittedJacketwithEmbroidery by #KariHaugen. I loved it so much, I knitted it in a more brighter colour as well. Very proud of both, but the Black/Grey one is my favourite.

#showmeyourknits, scarf-week: a few years ago I knitted these two: The #Lindisfarne by #LucyHague, knitted in Fonty Zéphir. A great project, but a lot of stitches. And the #Bain by #LucyHague. Knitted with Cool Wool Pure Merino. This one was for my husband to wear in his vintage car (same colour).

#showmeyourknits: I've only knitted two patterns twice, not of lack of love for all my knitted objects, but because there are way too many beautiful patterns to knit. The first one I knitted twice was the #FittedJacket by #KariHaugen, the other one was #AFlutterPoncho by #MarinJaKnit

Update on my #LightItUpMal. I do hope I get to finish it before may 30th. Anne wanted it to be longer. So the body took some extra time. But today I can start knitting the sleeves.

#showmeyourknits This week is cable week. I do love knitting cables. These are my favourites: a shawl with cables on both sides. The #Bain, designed by #LucyHague. I knitted this one in 2018. The light blue sweater I knitted for a dear friend some 20 years ago. Probably a design from #DropsDesign.

For this week #showmeyourknits: I've only knitted two hats. The first one was for my then newborn grand-niece, the #sweetstrawberry by #dropsdesign in 2019. The second one last week for the girlfriend of my youngest son. That hat is the #Tentaculahat by #JennyNoto. They were both great fun to knit.

#WIP week #showmeyourknits. Still working on the Koality blanket, a crochet project. Two projects (Magellan sweater and Lang Setesdahl Jakke) are still not finished. But I did start a new knitting project as test knitter, a secret project, so the only picture I can show is the swap, sorry.
