Turmeric

Finally a new pattern available. I've been really happy with this little top and its versatility! It's not only for warmer days, but great layering piece for chilly autumn weather. More summery pictures can be found here.

This little top is easily knitted in one piece from top down. The simple shape with a little modern twist lets the yarn and one big button shine!

My color experiments continue. It's time for some blue. And what a great blue this one is! Lovely shade of deep and dark ink blue - quite hard to capture when the day is grey like today. Yarn was lovely to work with and the fabric is really nice at this gauge.

Edit. Thank you for the comments. The yarn can be found here. And I'll publish the pattern.

September, autumn, cold, rain, crispy mornings, dark nights. It's that time of year again. But I'm well prepared.

Oh, the yarn! It’s the most perfect aran weight yarn I’ve ever seen. Love the shine, the texture, the softness, everything. And the color, such a beautiful, perfect color. Thank you, Krista. The yarn can be found here.

sweet vanilla

Sometimes things don't work out as you hope they would. Lately I've been frogging two (and a half) almost finished sweaters - I just didn't like them enough. I know it happens, but it feels kind of sad too. At least when you've felt the it's-not-so-good-as-you-think somewhere deep in your mind for many days, but still went on with the project. How to know when it's the right time to let go?

After that I needed some easy and happy to cheer me up. Oh, that so worked out. Lightweight merino, plain Stockinette and yet something to keep me interested. Turned out quite romantic and sweet. And comfy. The tunic was supposed to be for a friend, but I'm having some serious doubts about that now. I love to wear this thing.

buckwheat

Yellow, it's all about different shades of yellow now. This ochre (or buckwheat) yellow is so beautiful.

After all the cardigans I've knitted this year, I wanted one simple pullover. Simple and wearable and fun. Lots of stockinette, which I love and fun short rows for the neckline shaping. I've always loved the boat necks - with the two buttons for closure this is surely one of the best!

It's almost too hot to knit, but I can't help myself. Every now and then I pick up needles and knit a few stitches. And when the evening comes and sun goes down temperature gets a bit more reasonable - perfect time for knitting.

This "one button wonder" is all about the yarn and the one big button. Oh, I love both so much! I kept the design simple and wearable - and loose enough for this extremely hot summer we're having.
