Currently on my needles January 2025

Currently, I have (theoretically) only two active knitting projects on my needles; Artemis, a toe-up sock, I just cast on and Clouds, mittens, which I am kinda knitting after the Robinia mittens pattern by Anne Ventzel, yet I changed everything except the colour pattern. I also have 4 projects at home that need Italian cast-offs and Kitchener seams done. But I am currently at my mother's, so I shall finish them when I return home. (most likely sometime in February). There were a couple of big winter knit plans—one is an oversized cardigan for which I have already done swatches—but I have decided against carrying a huge amount of yarn to Switzerland. So I wisely postponed them to February or even March. Then I went to my favourite Yarn Shop in Zurich and bought two strands of beautiful grey wool and cast on a simple fluffy brioche beanie, which I named Isolde. Now I am pondering if the yarn would be nice for a Sophie scarf or hood And then I thought, I could get yarn for a cardigan too.And down I went that rabbit hole. So much for the restraint on having too many active knits.I have however been very good with not buying stash yarns! For now. ArtemisCloudsIsolde Is there anything interesting on your needles?

Currently on my needles: June’23

In the last 6 months, I started a lot of projects and frogged the majority of them. Restarted half of them and generally finished only a very few. I keep forgetting to take photos of the finished projects and keep planning to post about them. Hopefully, I will get around to it a wee bit later. At the moment I am working only on two projects: Cassiopeia Named after the constellation because for some reason the yarns remind me of unicorns and the name seemed fitting for a unicorn. Simple toe-up socks that I knit while on the go, striping the two yarns every row, the white-speckled one being the MC. Yarns Das Mondschaf HydraEinhornpups (white speckled) TreLiz AresMadala (multicolored stripey) Find details on the Cassiopeia project page Sea Daffodils This project is another of my idea-to-needles experiment. Let's hope it will work out this time.I am aiming to make a lacey tee inspired by the frozen flowers I discovered on a winter hike in Switzerland. Yarn Mirafil FasciaFrozen Sea #355 I only did some swatching, a lot of charting, and cast on the back so far. It's going to be slow, but so far I really love the fabric and drape I get from the yarn.
