Knitted Sleeveless Sweater

Happy to find at last a pattern requiring only 5 wool balls, as I have several batches of 5 balls in my stash.

Pattern found here : Click. Susanne's blog is a Danish one, although the google translation is a mess and I could rely on the numbers and the pictures (thanks for those close pictures!) to progress with my knitting... I am quite anxious regarding the completed result... 😱😏😆

I use a FONTY yarn Urga 50% yak 50 % wool. Needles number 5.

During the last lockdown I had sewn several project bags like the one I am using presently. I had no pattern but found various pictures of such bags that are very practical with their several inside pockets and their perfect size. See the inside details here : Project bag.

Country Knitted Large Shawl

Hi everyone, sorry for being absent for so long from the blog. The fact is that since my accident last February I could not yet sew or quilt because of back pains. The only thing I could do was knitting a little, sitting straight in my armchair. Thus my shawl is the only thing I have to show lately. I already posted before a green shawl the same style, and a tutorial.

For this last shawl I decided not to crochet the border, to give it a more rural style, and I am very pleased with its final look. The result is exactly as expected. (It doesn't often happen!).

I used a wonderful natural and soft yarn : Fonty Fado 662 (9 skeins for the shawl and 1 for the fringes), that I knitted with needles no 5 (French).

I hope that my next post will be relative to quilting as since a long time I have in mind a project that I am so eager to start!...
