Pattern: Vappu by Suvi Simola
Yarn: Cascade 220 heathers colour # 2425 (leftovers from this)
A few months ago Suvi and Mari Muinonen released a stunning collection of patterns as a hardcopy book in Finnish as well as 2 PDFs in English called 'Hold Your Needles'. I absolutely love the work of both of these designers so I waited for this collection with great excitement. It has a wide assortment of sweaters and accessories and there are many, many I want to knit.
I'm working on several of my own designs right now and I felt guilty jumping into a sweater but I decided I really could use a new set of mitts and hat. These only took a few nights to make and they're super warm and cozy. Now, my head is burning up with what I can only assume is the onset of the flu my children have suffered with this week so I'll go lie down. And wish I didn't have a party to attend tonight. Hope your weekend is awesome.
Thank you for knitting these! Such a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThe mitts and hat look fabulous Chris! They look super cozy with the winter weather that is starting to show itself. At least around here. :)
ReplyDeleteChris, these are truly too delicious! How inspiring you are! I really should knit myself a MATCHING set of hat and mitts. Of course, I haven't needed much of either this winter, but I'm sure that won't be the norm.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link and promptly lost many many minutes (some might say hours) perusing. Didn't get all my laundry done as a result. So thanks for that.
Great color on! With the weather here finally dipping into colder temps your gloves look very tempting to make :)
