Knitting update

It’s been really busy lately, and I simply haven’t gotten round to blogging something. Plenty of inspiration, not enough time. But since my last knitting update, my needles haven’t been lying still at all. And eventhough we no longer need our scarves, glittens and hats, here’s a little update:

Finished

Sheepy time cardigan. For real. Every loose end has been fixed. Phew. I even found some sheep-shaped buttons. Comments on the pattern: next to blue, black and white, this pattern also demands a brown skein of yarn. A bit silly, actually, since you need the brown for one little sheep only. So if you’re planning in knitting this, use some leftover yarn, or skip the brown sheep all together. Not worth it buying a whole skein.

Glittens
Proved their use already. I even lost one already, out in the street. But lucky me found it back 3 weeks later. Soaked, but in mint condition. Of course, I’d knit a new one already. So now I have 3.
Slouchy beret
A hat that matches my glittens. This beret knits like a train. It took me 3 days, but that’s because I didn’t pay enough attention when reading the instructions, leading to me having to frog several rows and start over.
Cowl
I used the same yarn as the one I used for the glittens and the hat. I also used the same cable pattern as for the slouchy beret. I knit for about 1 meter, and then I grafted the ends together.
