The Knitmare Before Christmas


Sneak Peak at my new projekt!

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 :)

Ooh I really like that sweater.. I need to get my hands on that book! :) I’ve considered making it a million times, just never gotten around to it…

Den er godt nok også sød. Det er jo samme slags garn jeg bruger til mit Melon sjal (som nok ender omkring de 2 meter), bare en anden farve. Jeg bruger 4mm -og strikker løst, men et sjal må jo også godt være lidt mere åbent i det. Jeg er stadig kun ved nøgle nr 2 så mon ikke 2 nøgler rækker til blusen. brugte i øvrigt selv aftenen i går på en Erika Knigth model -en lille baby sko i bomuld, den blev lidt slasket, så den får nok ikke en makker. Men sød er modellen da.
