Still working on this cardigan, nordic blossom. Wondering if the bit of puckering above the color work might block out ..only after getting this far did I read about sizing up a needle for color work which sounds helpful for this. doesn't bother me too much but curious. Will see! #knitsky #craftsky

My attempt at bust darts was a bust ;) - after reading a bit it sounded like a garment with so much ease as Nordic Bloom might not even need it, but i attempted. Didnt love it so going back to the straight pattern after all... but good references for future from folks, so thanks. #knitsky

#showmeyourknits #knitsky the pattern is starting to come together - seeing leaves! Cannot tell in this photo & I'm not sure how to correct the color, but the orange yarn is looking like muted rose pink next to the red and i like it! It is named wild rose but i am pretty surprised! 🌹

Nordic bloom sweater on the needles. have been meaning to knit this for about a year :) #knitsky #showmeyourknits The orange is not highly contrasted with the red, but i like it- my attempt to make the giant fun flowers maybe a bit subtle, if possible. frog'd several rows earlier today, for fun! ;)

#showmeyourknits #knitsky one surprisingly good tool - my very inexpensive bamboo needles - makes Knitting cotton much less slippery and annoying. And circular needles in general - maybe they didn't exist when I was knitting very young?

All these blankies have me thinking about rugs. I see a fair number of patterns on rav. it looks like mostly smaller items, bath mats and kitchen rugs. anyone make a large rug? did it work out OK? Any suggested patterns would be great. (Knitting) #knitsky 🧶

Taking a break from current #wip to work cuffs i've been thinking about for some time. Green store bought sweater that I've had for several years- bo sleeves with no rib & too short. Pretty happy with this will probably trim front pocket edges too. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Hope all is ok - since i dont see a new #showmeyourknits theme, how will I start my sat.? anyone knit anything from this book- or M. Storey in general? looks terrific, in particularly the one on the front cover may be my next knit. Does he tend to have solid doable patterns? (Lite-intermed. knitr)

One of my favorite things to wear- baby alpaca 🦙 vest in a lovely grey. #showmeyourknits #knitsky recommend doing armhole ribbing with wool or wool blend for better shape - and mybe one day i will redo. But for now just a wonderfully cozy layer. The feel is so silky, very little pilling.

Gorgeous girl ;) in a cute olive cardigan. Love the yarn and the pattern was fast and very clear- only issue was sleeves, but I just redid them when I realized they had gotten way too long after blocking. Love the neckline -cozy but not suffocating. #knitsky #showmeyourknits #cardigan #stitchplease
