The weather is changing. It’s getting colder, which means there is a need for more woolly knitwear. The cotton yarns are already hibernating and I can surrender myself completely to my favorite fiber, wool. Are you looking forward to this as much as I am?
I’ve started a project in Shetland wool which contains colorwork and steeking, haven’t tried the latter yet but I’m plucking up the courage, day by day, and hopefully one day I’ll be brave enough to CUT my knitting! I haven’t decided which method it’s going to be yet but I’m tending towards applying a crocheted steek. I know that when knitting with Shetland wool it shouldn’t be necessary to make any reinforcement at all – you just cut. I don’t know if I’ll ever be that courageous, though. Eunny Jang’s tutorial on steeking is such a great reference and I’m so going to use it.

Oh yes, I am looking forward to wooly times as well!
Uh, det ser godt ud!
Og jo, jeg er også glad for den uldne tids ankomst :D
Du er bare hurtig, Lise - i forhold til hvor langt du var i sidste uge, så går det da bare der ud af. Den ser helt vildt flot ud. Kommer du for øvrigt på lørdag til strikkecafe?
How, fik vist lige logget på med mit arbejdsbrugernavn - nå men det er mig, Nina, der lige skrev ;)
Ysolda's designs are so much fun. I can't wait to see how this turns out!
Looks pretty! I'm excited about fall and wool, as well. So much to knit!
