Happy yarn mail! Every summer I've coveted the gorgeous Willow base from Tanis Fiber Arts and this year I finally grabbed a skein. This beautiful baby is going to become a summer tank top #Yarn 🧶 #IndieDyer #HandDyedYarn

Let me show you a detail of my Kanarie sweater, while still on the blocking mats. Isn’t it pretty? 😊

In this picture, you can see my Kanarie sweater blocking! And I'm happy to tell you, that the fabric indeed grew a bit in the width, and shrunk a little in length 😊

Here a picture of me wearing my (unblocked) sweater. I’m a tad larger than the mannequin, so I really hope that with some washing the fabric will shorten and widen a bit. That’s what the swatch did, and the numbers in the pattern are based on 😃

The knitting on this project is finished! Here a picture of it on my mannequin! I'll show you a picture of me wearing it, soon 😉

The first cuff is done. Now to knit the next one, after that I can wash the sweater and determine whether the fit of the body is as intended….

Here, you can see where I decreased the sleeve stitches for the cuff, onward to the cuff itself! 😃

In the this picture, this sleeve has been knit to its intended length. Time to switch to the other one, before knitting the decreases and cuffs on both! 😃

Two of the yarn skeins are a bit darker, so I undid my original swatch. Now, I need to figure out how to deal with the crinkled yarn. Using it as-is would mess with the gauge, so I'll avoid that. 🤔

The second sleeve has also used up it's first ball of yarn completely! This means that I'm almost ready to start the cuffs 😃

I decided not to work any tapering in the sleeves after all. And I finished the first skein of yarn! 😃
#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn
-
This other sleeve now also has some more length. Looking at it, I'm wondering if I should introduce some tapering from round 60 onward, before doing the big decrease just before the cuffs. What do you think? 🤔

With this project, I've steadily been working on those sleeves. I worked this sleeve to 45 rounds, so now it's time to switch to the other one! 😃
#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

I just love how puffy these sleeves are! 😊

-
I've made progress on my knitting, with one sleeve at 30 rounds and the other at 25. I'm alternating between the two sleeves to avoid second sleeve syndrome and ensure they're nearly finished by the time I reach the cuffs 😃

-
As you can see in this picture, the short row part of the second sleeve of Kanarie is now also done. So now it's a matter of knitting in the round until both sleeves are of sufficient length to start the cuffs! 😃
#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn
-
I've also started the short rows on the other armhole. I figured it would be best to get those out of the way before I get started on the length of those sleeves! 😄

I thought I'd put Kanarie on my mannequin to show you how the top of the shoulder looks. I really like it! 😊

My grading spreadsheet has been reworked, and I worked out the correct numbers for the stitches to be picked up, the puff sleeve increases, and the short rows for Kanarie 😃

I finished the ribbing! Now onwards to the puffed sleeves 😄

However, I'm excited to move on to the next part of my story and where it might take me.

As you can see in the picture, the bottom ribbing on Kanarie has started! 😃

I've been rather quiet here over the past couple of months and took an extended break over Christmas so there hasn't been the usual steady stream of posting.
Below is an overview of our 2025 Christmas Carols themed Advent Calendar. Usually I would post reveals every day in the lead up to Christmas but I've been dealing with lots of other things.
Last year wasn't the best for me personally and I'm still making some changes both personal and professional (more about that soon). But in the meantime, enjoy some recent(ish) snaps of hand dyed yarn.
Happy New Year

The end of knitting this textured patterning is in sight. So I should really start working out my pattern for the puffed sleeves 😄

There is only one more increase round to go, and than I can start the ribbing. Do you see how lovely those increases and decreases look at the sides of the garment?

With this project I'm still working on that hip shaping! 😄
#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn
-
Time to finish the hip increases, and then I can start the bottom ribbing. I think I will work on it some more, later tonight. Possibly while watching some episodes of "The Great", I really like that show! 😃

The neckband is finished! I used a stretchy yo bind-off. It's really rather stretchy, while staying in pattern and without even going up a needle size or knitting particularly loose. I'll make a photo tutorial about it! 😃

Did I say that I can’t only have 1 active WIP?
Well this time I have a very good reason to start a new project; I need a cowl asap cause I have none and we've beet hit with -20/-30°C weather for the past 2 weeks. I'd like to keep my nose!
I'm doing tunisian smock stitch. Yarn is hand dyed superwash merino from Fibrelya (not sponsored)

Before I continue with the body of Kanarie, I may however first work the neckband. It changes things up a bit! I'll show you next time 😃

In this picture of Kanarie, you can see how the side looks with the decreases done. I've put them 2 stitches outside the outer bands of pattering, to get that princess line effect 😃

Look how much length Kanarie now has! There are 4 sets of decreases done, time to start the decreases! 😃

With Kanarie, the knitting on the body is still ongoing. As a matter of fact, I think I will be knitting on it some more later today 😃

In Texel, I also got these lovely skeins of undyed, worsted weight wool yarn. I was thinking to perhaps dye these yellow or olive with onion skins 😃

Well I managed to finish my KAL Mobius Strip Cowl in the allotted time.
The hardest part was Kitchener stitching the tube.

An arthritis flare-up in my left hand, especially my thumb, had stopped my knitting for the past 5 weeks.
I started my cowl for Skein Yarn’s Accessories KAL on 1st June. The KAL finishes 31st July.
Last night I knitted a few rows without too much pain. Big question - can I do the remaining 49 rows then Kitchener the ends together by then?
