This fall has been... Yeah... Sucking all the energy out of me. I'm tired of the darkness and the grey outside. I'm ready for advent to come! So I jumpstarted the holiday month with a new cast on. I need something to refuel my energy and inspiration! It's gonna be a Christmas/winter slipover/vest. I'm using #slipoverlinne by Anna Bauer as a base and the borders are taken from her books as well as Selbu Patterns (Anne Bårdsgård). Plus my own patterns of course. Cuz I really wanted a cute little bird there, but as per usual I'm very particular with how it should look. So pen and paper out on the table it is! I'm in absolute love with how it's turning out. And the colors! This green is magical. The yarn is Rauma Finull and Järbo 2tr. (bought at the best LYS @garnhyllan ) Each year, around this time, when it's the season for hats and mittens and wool shirts I pick this type of yarn out of my stash. And each year I get equally surprised at how wonderful it is to knit with. Like yeah, I know it is! But it's like I forget just how much I love it after a summer of flax and cotton and combed sock yarns. So advent can come now. I'm ready! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #julväst https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHBy6poNWz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sorry about shitty photo. The whole daylight seem like a myth still. But here's my vest finally! All done. All ends are even woven in. I loooove it. The fit is perfect. And I can't stop petting it. Now... I kinda want a cardigan with all over colorwork... #julväst #knitting #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #colorwork #knitblr https://www.instagram.com/p/CoB_iOtomVA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New cast on. A headband! 'tis the season for it. I really love the center pattern on my julväst and so now I'm going to do a quick little headband with it. The rest of my knits are simple plain stockinette atm (except for the Vintetsol cardigan. But I ran out of handspun and I've spun more and am currently waiting for it to dry). So I felt the need for something that would stimulate my brain a little more than just plain knits. I really love Rauma Finull. I might've said it before. But it's still true. I really like that it's thinner than the "normal" sport 2-tr (300m/hg). But it still fills out so nicely when washed so you don't have to sit there with tiny tiny needles either. Just perf for me usually. These balls are bought at my LYS @garnhyllan #knitting #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #colorwork #knitblr https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWtsRKIWNw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
