Lovely ♥️ chambray is a really lovely fabric, thanks for the reminder. I need more chambray in my life too.

Finished this in june and gave it to my mother for her birthday. It was not the easiest thing I ever made, but it turned out very stunning, I think! Lovely use of #briocheknitting . The garter is sort of uneven, from all the dec./incs. but I feel the gray tweed yarn I used makes that more cohesive

So cute 😍😍 I had that pattern on queue for years. A very pretty pattern

Other tips: keep needles and yarn together so its more obvious what it is. Remember to not bring scissors (i have lost a few to this mistake). And bring a tube to put your work on if you will need to give your needle away 🥲. Have a good trip!

I have been told many times that it will ultimately be up to the security people you meet to decide. If you are in a country (like Norway) where everybody recognizes a knitting needle, you will probably be able to keep it. Wood is safer to bring than metal.

Beautiful 🖤 details like this make homemade garments such favourites. Good idea about the jersey to cover seams.

This project was quite a journey, and I am glad I had the time to think in between each step. All those cool @wfmu.bsky.social designs are so fun to include. Boyfriend is always wearing 1. wfmu merch and 2. arctic merch from his jobs. So I hope I have made him one more favourite here.

I see now how this heart and the island shape sort of echo. Interesting! It also will say «Jim Price I love you» inside the hood. So I guess the theme overall is arctic island love 😅

Always good to have some distance from a project, step away to think and then go back. Why I could never be in any kind of quick sewing challenge. Having the time to think is one of my favourite things! I think the yellow strip will be a lovely detail to tie the pieces together.
