Sorry I have been away. I fell and broke my two wrists.. A super double bummer when #knitting not talking about the pain and the uncertain outcome.
Surgery was done on both wrists, I now have metal in 3 limbs !
For good measure :

Looks beautiful, right?
Lesson learned. The colorwork is too tight and disappears when worn. Yes I increased needle size, knit inside out and blocked it.
Now what? Make the second one with motifs or not?

My New Year cast-on is finally finished !
So luxurious on my feet and a reminder of going to her popup store during a Paris trip before Christmas 😻

Second skein finished 17 cm after separating for the sleeves. I did the neckline and now will see how far half a skein goes on a sleeve. I have 3 left.
(Side note : I bought summer yarn, please see my previous side note..)

Just separated for the sleeves !
Wool and pattern were a perfect gift by one of the lovely yous ✨❤️

(Side note : I am almost decided to continue knitting winter knits during Spring and Summer)

Some colour work pleasure in the midst of the world chaos.
My Dazzler is dazzling !
Second sleeve was easier, I knew where I was going.

One sleeve done, I have to say it was much less enjoyable than the body. I do not like colour work on small circumferences I guess, after having so much fun on the body.

You may already know.
Audrey Borrego, a French designer, stopped her design activities and made all of her self published patterns for free. Many to choose from, many examples on many body shapes :

So should I start the sleeve over sizing up my needle ? I am almost sure I’m going to do it 😺

And it fits !
Please do not mind the clothespin, the curling would prevent to see the color work 😺

Not sure how I managed to take that pic ! Early morning before work - no edit, just cropped. We are in the fourth dimension indeed !

I think I'm going to separate for sleeves earlier than what the pattern says. Will do the last increase round though :)

Sometimes, the swatch does not work, and I have to start over again. Two sizes up, I cannot fix by adding extra increases, the motifs won’t line up.. So ripping time it is 🐸

And my Maja Hat by Meiju Kallio is done, with the big pompom I dreamed of all of my childhood 😻
The nice and discreet cables in the front do not compete with the ones on Alary.
