Hi!

Welcome to my blog. I am Silje and I document my thoughts, ramblings and adventures in knitting, fibre arts, and all things crafty. Hope you have a nice stay!

Episode 25: New mitts! And old favourites

Episode 25: New mitts! And old favourites

It was a rainy day when I did this recording, so I’ve pulled some old favorites out of my knitting wardrobe to bundle up in. Showing off the finished pair of mitts and *still* working on the last sleeve of my Lapwing (which I consistently called Levenwik throughout the video 😅). 

What I’m wearing

Morganite Cardigan by Corrina Ferguson 

Yarn and colourways used: Bowland DK by Eden Cottage Yarns (https://www.edencottageyarns.co.uk/) in “Misty Woods” colourway.

Emery Shawl by Shannon Cook

Yarn and colourways used: Cricket DK by Anzula (https://anzula.com/ ) in “Keola” colourway.

Bound off

Small flowers mitts by Pinneguri

Another free pattern to be found on Rav. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/halvvantene-sma-blomster---small-flowers-mitts

I’m knitting these up in Rauma Finull and FjordFibres sock yarn. 

(Still, yes still...) On the needles

Lapwing pullover by Marie Wallin. 

This is a free all over colourwork/ fair-isle pattern. You can get it either on Lovecrafts (https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/lapwing-knitting-pattern-by-marie-wallin) or Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lapwing-6).

Yarns and colourways used: Ninapetrina (https://www.ninapetrina.no/) Tynn Blue-faced Leicester in "Oliven" for main colour and Telespinn Symre (https://www.telespinn.no/garn/symre.html) in "Brent jord" to contrast. 

Fair-isle Vest knit along

#FairisleVestKAL - starting now (June/July) and until September 2021. Will post something to the hashtag on instagram sometime soon.

I’ll be knitting the Nighthawk Slipover by Wilma Malcomson, published in Shetland Wool Adventures Journal vol. 2 (https://www.shetlandwooladventures.com/journal/)  

I have made a collection on Ravelry with some of my favourite patterns that are available on the platform. I will keep adding to this list as I find new inspiring designs.
