I wound the yarn for Vuurvogel into balls, those loose skeins were really starting to bother me! 😆

On this project I'm nearing the final bit of knitting. I just can't wait to see the end result! I'm now quite a bit beyond the midpoint of the scarf 😃

Well, that French yarn I showed you last time in that swatch for the geometric shawl: It inspired me for a new shawl! I worked out the patterning, it will have lace in both stockinette and reverse stockinette 😃

With this shawl I haven't gotten very much knitting in. So, not a lot of progress to show you. Nevertheless, the knitting continues! 😃

# FlashbackThursday Mint Chocolate is a shallow triangular shawl knit sideways. There is just something about the combination of striped garter stitch, and lace that appeals to me! 😊

I bought the yarn for this shawl when visiting London with my mom. Hence the name 😉

London Vibes is a lovely lightweight shawl, with allover lace patterning. In what color will you knit yours? 😃

Remember this shawl? The test knitting is done, so the pattern for this design will be released soon! 😃

The green yarn is probably too thin for this design, so I’m frogging it and trying another stash yarn. The turquoise is out too, unfortunately. I don’t have enough, and the yarn company vanished around 1987 😆

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove

I’ll start weighing my yarn after I’ve completed this rep, because the balls of yarn are becoming visibly smaller! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

I’ve gotten quite some knitting time in on Sering! Here, you can see it after 3 repeats from the midpoint 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

I ran into an issue: The instructions for the twisted stitches did not yield the intended result. So, I did some research, and swatching to write instructions that actually work. Of course, I’ll also make step-by-step photo tutorials about these the upcoming months! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern

The rows on this shawl are becoming quite long. With an increase of 96 stitches per repeat, I now must have about 400 stitches on the needles 😅

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

Nothing better than relaxing with a knitting project, and some beer when it’s warm! 😁

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

I’ve cast on and worked the set-up rows for my new geometric shawl design 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern

I’m now almost through knitting the body chart for the third time. It’s growing larger!

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

With Sering, this is how much scarf I have at the midway point. Onwards on the second half!

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

I've decided what this gorgeous green yarn will become: a stole with a striking geometric pattern! It's packed with left- and right-twist stitches. Time to cast on! 😃

Earlier this week, I’ve been traveling. So, I got some car knitting done. Luckily, this shawl contains lots of plain knit sections. Perfect to also get some reading in! 😃

I noticed something off in my pattern.... Do you see it? I omitted a slipped stitch for the orange. I've fixed it and will work it as intended from now on. I'm not ripping my work out again! 😆

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

As you can see in this picture, my circular needles are no longer long enough to spread the shawl out. But, there’s still quite a bit of knitting to do on this project 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

This weekend, I had a lovely time working on my Vuurvogel shawl, and watching some series. Pimento kept me company!

Here, you can see the patterning of Sering a bit more zoomed in. It’s lace, though, so it will need blocking to show it to its best advantage 😄

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

Here a close-up of the center section, I really like how this is turning out 😃

#Flashbackthursday Lelie is an airy lace shawl with flowing leaves blooming into flowers. It's a lovely choice to dress up that outfit! 😃

In this picture, I worked through the 32-row body chart once, followed by a repeat of the first 16 rows. This is what I envisioned! A shame that it took me so many tries to get there 😆

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #MosaicKnitting

With Sering, I’ve worked 12 repeats, I hope to get to about 22-24 before starting the decreases on the body stitches. Time to get my scale out 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

Let's zoom in a bit. Do you see the medallion now sitting nicely between the blue lines, separating the center from the stripes? I'm very happy with this one. Onward! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

I redid my pattern again, cast on again, and knit the set-up section. I think we finally have a winner! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

Helsingborg blocked out to a decent size, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I haven't sent the pattern out yet to my editor, though. Soon! 😉

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

The pattern for Kanarie is not quite ready to put the call for testing out. But, I can show you how the schematic will look! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather

After blocking, I had some gauge issues with my (air dried) sweater. So, I re-wet it, and gave it a trip in the dryer. The fit is now much better in the shoulders!

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

The ends are woven in! 😃

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

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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 😊

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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 😉

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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….

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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

#FlashbackThursday When knitting garments top-down, there often is a point where stitches are CO at the underarm. In this tutorial I show 2 ways to do this! 😃

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! 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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 😃

#LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingPattern #KnittingProject #KnittingInspiration #ContemporaryKnitwear #SweaterKnitting #HandKnitSweater #SweaterWeather #RMRYarnCo #HandDyedYarn

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? 🤔
