Works In Progress (WIPS)

I spend almost all my freetime knitting (and a good portion of my workday thinking about knitting).

Right now I'm working on two sweaters - one for myself and one for my mom.

The one for my mom is a design by one of my favourite knitting designers Helga Isager. Her designs are modern, elegant and she has such an eye for detail. I've been wanting to make this design, Granite, for the longest time, but I've had a sneaking suspicion that it wouldn't look too good on me. It's A-shaped which is no good for my big hips...

But after having knit 3 (!) sweaters for myself since January 1st 2012 I thought maybe I should start sharing the knitted love instead og just piling it up in my closet.

So now I'm knitting it for my mom. She always appreciates what I make and show off to everyone she knows = she is definitely knit-worthy!

So far I've completed the first sleeve and started on the back - here's how it looks so far



I'm knitting with one of my favourite combinations of yarn - one thread Holst Supersoft and one thread Isager Alpaca 1.

I'm also working on a cardigan for myself - it's Audrey in Unst by Gudrun Johnston. A Ravelry-classic and fantastic design.

I'm making it with Wollmeise 80/20 twin in this crazy almost psychedelic yellow/green called Zarte Knospe. Pefect for spring!!
