🧶Halfway done with sleeve #2 of the Faroe Blossom Sweater. Using the sleeves as a gauge swatch before I cast on for the body. This is the first day I’ve been able to take a picture outside in weeks!
Winter coming this afternoon. I’ll knit away while it snows.
What’s on your needles this week?

6* and a windchill below zero…what a great excuse to knit all day!
I have the pattern memorized now and enjoy just knitting while binge watching Bridgerton (ha!). Stranded knitting is most satisfying 🙂

Serious cold weather coming tonight! Consider knitting some layers to add to your daily wear. Pick MERINO wool to keep itch at a minimum, or just keep a layer of cotton between your skin and the garment.
Knit like a Norwegian and strand two layers of wool at once with thinner yarns!
