These socks are ready for some time now, but I forgot to take a picture. That happens a lot with my finished projects😉. These socks were part of the Socktoberparty2022 organised by @sunny_designs and @design_by_tiny . Thanks ladies for bringing me back to sockknitting😃. Not that I knitted so many, this was my second pair. But started another one in this pattern for @cottonandcandlesnl , and 4 other pairs on ny needles for Christmas🤣.

After finishing my Twists and Turns shawl I finally have time to start a new sweater/cardigan. So last weekend I started this Treysta. Now it still looks like a sweater, but I will turn it into a cardigan. First time steeking which seems still very scary🙈.

It’s finished and blocked, my lovely Twistsandturns Mkal shawl. For 4 weeks, this was the only project I worked on, and I did miss my other projects. But it was worth it, I learned new techniques and enjoyed the process of knitting together. Thanks Stephen @westknits for this amazing pattern😘.

So I did i, Clue 1 and 2 are finished. This is my third Mkal and I can’t remember that the other 2 were so much work. Or maybe I just blocked it out of my memory😉. I love how my 3 colors work out toghether. And again I’m surprised how Stephen comes up with a design like this. Really amazing if you can design this kind of shawls😍. So back to knitting with Clue 3😃.

And then I’m already on sleeve island. In summer I like it more to work with cotton than with wool. And this cardigan works fine with cotton too. What do you prefer to work with in Summer, cotton, wool or something else?

Back from a great vacation with a lot of knitting😃. After two years of postponing it we could finally fly to Curacao. We just relaxed on the beach, near the swimmingpool, outside our cabin. And for the first time I took my knitting and crochet projects everywhere. I started the Cecile top and Kunulus tee already at home, so I could knit in the airplane. I started this Remi Camisole there, together with the The top (you can find ir on @okariconcepts ).
