Aggressively floofy - Ep. 29

It’s time to check in on my knitting adventures! I’ve made some progress on my Nighthawk slipover, but mostly I’ve been busy with a secret test knit. And swatching, so much swatching on future cast-on’s.

#FairisleVestKAL - will run until October 10th, 2021, when I will draw winners from FO-thread on Ravelry and on the instagram hashtag. I’m making up a couple of colourwork kits as prizes for the knit-a-long that I hope you will like.

If you want to join the KAL there is plenty of time. 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. 

The link is open to all, also non-ravellers: https://ravel.me/silmoa/v1

I’ve opened a chat thread for the KAL in the brand new Ravelry group for the podcast which you can find here: https://www.ravelry.com/groups/hanging-on-by-a-thread 

Swatching, swatching, swatching

Illuminate by Andrea Mowry will be cast on during this cold season for sure. I’ll be using Sandnes garn Silk Mohair & Hillesvåg Sølje hand dyed purple gradient by Nina Petrina.

A needed DK weight textured knit will be Boulevardier by Thea Colman knit in Dale Garn Lanolin Wool.

And also by Andrea Mowry I am exploring yarn choices for The Daydreamer.
