RE: Swimming in a sea of unfinished projects - what to knit for spring (a lot of free pattern inspiration)

in NeedleWorkMonday • 3 years ago

You are braver than I, I would worry whether the yarns in the stripes cardigan would all have the same tension 😂. I like the cardigans and they go so well with your collection. I still have my perfect cardigan waiting for me to work out the sleeve caps, those and the button band are all that needs doing now.

Arne and Carlos are doing a spring-a-long, crochet flowers and knitted blocks. I did think about the crochet flowers for some yarn I already have, but to be honest it is not my style. I am intrigued by the blocks, though and they may be what I use to practice two-colour work ... but I can't see that happening until the cold weather starts to arrive in the autumn.

I have finished my socks, well, as much as I am going to do with this pair. I have been practising with my new carbon needles and trying samples for my next socks ... but really, there is too much to do in the garden to spend too much time knitting 😂

Not sure if I would call this brave... more reckless as I did not wasted one thought to the possible problem of different tensions. 🤣 I somehow assumed that the yarns will adapt mysteriously into one uniform tension (and they kind of did it) But I would love to see your perfect cardigan and how it fits <3

Crocheting small items like flowers or amigurumi ias also not to my liking. But I thought crochet could be a nice change for my fingers (and I found so many lovely patterns. I am still secretly tempted by this tow patterns..

but starting even more projects....:-DDD
Oh wow!! Socks are finished this fabulous. Perhaps a needlework post of yours is needed.

But I understand you with the garden. I am at the moment torn between studio and garden and with both there is so much to do. But I have to stop myself with the gardening as it is only a hobby.
I am alreday on the hunt for slugs - they are back. What are you up to, some new plants (perhaps somethin experimental)?
