<p>Flower Stole - a new project. </p><p>I bought a third ball from the same yarn (but different dye lot) that I'd used for the cardigan (which is still drying) - just in case. </p><p>I'll turn it into a stole with a simple flower pattern, worked on the bias but with a straight cast on. Pretty mindless, 8 stitch / 8 row pattern repeat. </p><p>I started it to take to the <a href="/tags/kip/" rel="tag">#KIP</a> event.</p><p>@knitting @fiberarts <a href="/tags/knitting/" rel="tag">#knitting</a> <a href="/tags/fiberarts/" rel="tag">#fiberarts</a></p>

<p>Start of the project.</p><p>I'm making a top down sweater with a European shoulder. </p><p>Doing just stripes didn't blend / fade nicely enough so I'm adding a bit of texture at the color changes to blur it further.

<p>New project - this time a cardigan.</p><p>I bought the yarn this summer in Denmark as a souvenir with the vague idea to make a cardigan / jacket with stranded colorwork at the yoke. On a black and white picture the colors have enough contrast against each other, but the heathering eats finer details, so it's going to be a very simple zig-zag.</p><p>The yoke will be based on the percentag system from "Knitting in the old way" but top down</p><p><a href="/tags/knitting/" rel="tag">#knitting</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@knitting" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>knitting</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@fiberarts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fiberarts</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/fiberarts/" rel="tag">#fiberarts</a></p>
