It loo...Wow, your cardigan is absolutely beautiful. It looks very comfy. And it’s a lovely colour too! Ditto for the socks. It definitely feels very Claude Monet.<br />I am a beginner knitter, I have yet to attempt making socks. Your post makes me excited to make my first sock.<br />For my resolution I also want to not buy yarn. However, I might have to because my cousin is having a baby soon and wants me to knit a baby blanket. She wants to pick a colour and I definitely don’t have enough yarn of one colour to make a blanket. Otherwise… No buying yarn for me!<br />As for myself, I casted on and hooked a lot of projects at the start of the year. I have one FO already, thankfully. No goals achieved yet, it will definitely take the entire year before that happens. :)Edelhttp://edelgrace.me/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-24802070765677069522019-01-07T15:29:26.103+01:002019-01-07T15:29:26.103+01:00I love your Cria!

A friend in my knitting group only knits with 2 mm, so I tried that once, but found that this fabric was too stiff for my taste. The inbetween size is just ideal for me.Domics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-66112203546343454882019-01-07T11:53:32.991+01:002019-01-07T11:53:32.991+01:00Thanks Ella!

I actually finished one already, but I never wore it so far as it is from a thin cotton yarn and more a summer garment.Domics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-57046024393099603622019-01-07T11:51:32.448+01:002019-01-07T11:51:32.448+01:00Thanks!

I also did the Vanilla Latte pattern for a change, but my favourite ribbed pattern is the "Schicke Stino" pattern (which is a free pattern on Ravelry) - it is in German, but there is a chart (it is actually a simple 8 stitch repeat).Domics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-27305737650903237912019-01-07T11:50:01.651+01:002019-01-07T11:50:01.651+01:00Thanks for the compliment!

I agree... that beautiful striping yarn needs no fancy stitch pattern. And your Breathing Space - so pretty!

I like vanilla socks and with self striping think they best show the stripes. Your cardigan looks great. My Chimney Fire cardigan grew a lot when I first blocked it but on wearing it a couple of times it started to shrink back and the arms no longer needed to be folded over, so you may find it gets a bit smaller with wear. Either way I think it looks lovely.HighlandHeffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954625467998406097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-26993614824821582952019-01-06T16:37:36.292+01:002019-01-06T16:37:36.292+01:00Sock yarn NEVER counts and if bought with a vouche...Sock yarn NEVER counts and if bought with a voucher it is even better! Those Monet socks are gorgeous. No need for a fiddly pattern when the yarn itself is so pretty. Plain old vanilla socks is the way to go with self striping yarn. The Breathing Space is wonderful. I love the way the stripes angle on the body yet the bodice is straight. Funny how we all have a favorite sock needle size. I love my 2.5 but depending on the sock yarn, there are times I need to go down to a 2.25. Thicker yarn gets the 2.25 and thinner gets 2.5. It is the only way I can get the perfect fit with my 64 stitch cast on.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-8104706761145544532019-01-06T16:07:11.520+01:002019-01-06T16:07:11.520+01:00Of course sock yarn doesn't count!
