I finished my last big knitting project in June 2024 (socks are lifesavers). I left on Friday with my swatch drying. I really like the colour combination, which reminds me of the sunset over Penfret Island (Glénan Archipelago, Brittany, France).
Let's go!

The nightmare of everyone doing steeks.
I've only used that technique once and I was absolutely paranoid so I made sure to use "real" Shetland yarn. And it went well. And I still love the experience (even when the garment - a cardigan for a little girl - has long moved on after my daughter grew of it).
But reading this makes me suspicious even after my good experience.

Back from Brittany. Sun, walks. Long swimming sessions in the sea (bliss). And even mornings putting on my Shetland jumper, finished just before the holidays.

And it's done! Swatched in December 2015, finished in June 2023.
Photo taken before the jumper was blocked. Happy with the fit, my calculations were right.

CW: Knitting
This weekend I finished my Shetland vest, glad I learned how to make a steek. Shetland yarn is my favourite wool, light, warm and affordable. Now it might be time to finish that fairisle jumper started in December 2015?

CW: Knitting, a horror story (just kidding)
Starting the day with my first ever steek, aka cutting into my #Knitting (I survived). To keep the same tension, the #Fairisle garments are knitted in the round, the openings (sleeves and collar) are cut at the end.
