The collection has been out for while now, but I just wanted to highlight a couple of the new patterns that I like!
The dress is rather different but in a cool way I think. The jacket is my favorite, though I think I’d make the sleeves full-length! Besides these two I almost didn’t like any of the rest. Most of the patterns feature huge needles or are just boring. you can see the rest of the collection here.
Hope the new addition of Knitty.com will be out soon!

Here is a little yarn pr0n in celebration of the weekend!
You know how it is, I was just in a yarn store to help a Friend pick out some sock yarn and a pair of Dpns for her first sock project, I had no plans of buying anything myself.. But one thing leads to another and I ended up taking these babies home, 2 skeins of lovely angora yarn.. Perhaps I can justify them by making them into some sort of Christmas present

Yesterday was supposed to be all about my new project, and I was very excited to cast on the first stitches! But then suddenly this little thing came in the way!
You see, I recently lost my phone, and even though I was actually fine without it (all relaxed and everything) my friends and family were very annoyed that they could never get a hold of me. So I ordered this little baby on Saturday expecting it to arrive around Thursday or so.. But the higher powers must have a good eye for me, and it already arrived yesterday. So my knitting time ended at bare minimum and my trying-to-figure-this-thing-out-time to a maximum! And I must say that I think I might be in love!
Today -> more knitting, less playing with the silly new gadget!
I just finished Swatching for my new project and I am quite excited!
I am using Kid Mohair yarn from Fonty in an eggplant sort of coulor. Needles size 3,5mm I think, but I am thinking of using a smaller size instead (quite the opposite of what I usually do, I usually go a size up)
Here is the result. And so far I really like it, it is easy to remember and still pretty. Now you are probably wondering what this wonderful swatch is for!?
Thada! I introduce to you The Lace Top from the book Glamour Knits by Erica Knight!
This will be my first official attempt to make an actual garment (besides socks and accesories)! So wish me luck
