Something green

Olivia cardigan

Yarn: Cascade Yarns 220 Olive

Needles: 4mm

Olive green is one of my favourite colours and I wanted to make a cardigan that was quite simple. The colour in itself is so beautiful that I knitted mostly in stockinette stitch, at the hem and around the yoke I wanted some decorative details so I knitted two different kinds of lace stitches. I improvised the whole thing through but it turned out quite as I had hoped. 

I found an old pair of pants that I don't use anymore with some really nice buttons and chose to give them a second chance on this cardigan. 

The yoke stitch pattern consists of s bit of lace and moss stitch.

The next knitting project is already on its way!

Pattern for Audrey cardigan

This is one of my favourite patterns,

happy knitting!

A cardigan named Audrey

The Audrey cardigan is knitted with Garnstudio Drops Nepal and Andes both in cream white. I used some lace knitting stitches by Hitomi Shida from the book Knitting Patterns Book 250, but the design and pattern for the cardigan is by me. My sister is wearing the cardigan in the beautiful landscapes of Algarve.

The sleeves and and neckline have a trimming consisting of a purl edging and bobbles.

The buttons and the edges are crocheted using the Andes yarn which is more bulky than Nepal.

The backside of the cardigan is very decorative with the intricate lace knitting pattern. I find that it is best to use lighter colours when knitting lace so that the shapes and structures become more visible.

Knitting a cardigan with lace

 I am currently knitting a cardigan with intricate lace. I found the stitch pattern through a great site with many different lace stitches: www.laceknittingstitch.blogspot.com 

The ones I chose to use are from the book Knitting Patterns Book 250 by Hitomi Shida (lace knitting stitch #14 and #49).

 Yarn used is Garnstudio Drops Nepal, I am knitting with 4 mm so that the lace doesn't become too lose.

For the sleeves I added a strand of bobbles to make it more interesting.

Tröja Alice

Mönstret till Tröja Alice har jag hittat på själv, det blev två olika typer av blommor och än en gång virkade knappar. Jag har stickat den i Garnstudio Drops garner, lila och grönt är Nepal och de de mörkröda Alpaca, det pinka garnet är Hopeasäie Aada. Tröjan är extramjuk och varm, 65% ylle och 35% alpacka, perfekt för svala sommarkvällar!

The pattern for this cardigan is from my own imagination, this time with flowers and once again crocheted buttons. I used Garnstudio Drops yarns, Nepal in green and violet, Alpaca in dark red, the pink yarn is from Hopeasäie Aada. The cardigan is extrasoft and warm, perfect for chilly summer evenings!

Ännu för några dagar sedan var det bara garnnystan... alltid lika roligt när något blir färdigt och man får se hur ens idéer blir till liv!

Jag stickade en randig tröja av olika yllegarnrester medan katten Myran tog det lugnt i garnkorgen.
