FO: Bray Cap


And one more small project, knitted from left over yarn - Bray Cap in Wool Silk Tweed, a lovely yarn, which I knitted into a long tweed cardigan last autumn.


Pattern: Bray Cap by Jared Flood
Yarn:  Ice Yarns WoolSilk Tweed, color Copper, 80 g
Needle: 3 mm, 3.5 mm
Time to knit: 2 days



Easy-breezy hat for autumn in signature autumn color, with enough wool content to keep me warm and enough lace to air my head on a sunny October day.

New Year, New Process, New Yarn


Just around Christmas I started a new sweater, which would have been knitted by now, if I hadn't decided to change the sleeves from 3/4 to full length and then some. I had a nagging feeling of déjà vu, when it struck me that I had exactly the same experience with my red sweater last New Year - obviously I fall for winter sweaters with 3/4 sleeves, which I don't like on me - some inconsistency with the full length of the body, the wooly texture, you get it, so I have to unravel some part of the sleeves (here the elaborate cuffs) and redo the sleeves to full length.

I'm almost done, so I guess after wet blocking I'll be able to have a photo session of my new green sweater later this week.


And here's a peek at my new yarn - wool-silk tweed in my most favourite copper color. It's going to be a cardigan, that's for sure, but which design? I really like Glenna C.'s Jurisfiction or maybe Cirilia Rose's Aidez, but with some button bands? I like the yarn so much that I feel a kind of fear not to get it wrong. Silly, I know :)
