I’ve been knitting furiously this week! I’m a bit more than halfway through the diamond scarf from the pattern book I got in Iceland, Simple Knits with Gústa . I’m making it in Mosa Mjúkull, the wool made by the same designer. Every pattern in this book uses three balls of it, which I appreciated as I could just buy the three balls and choose a pattern out of the book later.
Here’s how it’s coming along - most of the way through the second of three stripes:
The diamonds are drastically more obvious in this photo than in real life! Must be the contrast. This Mosa Mjúkull wool is reasonably fuzzy so you don’t get a lot of stitch definition. I found that a little disappointing at first, but I’m sure it will look better after blocking - hopefully more like the picture!
Hello again! I’m back!
It’s been a little while, and a few things have changed. Mainly: I no longer live in Singapore! I’ve moved back to my homeland, the UK - I now live in Yorkshire, the land of gorgeous landscapes and Yorkshire puddings - and Rowan wool!
Now that time is on my side, I’m really excited about getting on with making things again, sharing what I create, and being part of the online makers community.
I’ll be starting with a knitting project as I just went to Iceland and bought a pattern booklet and some Icelandic wool:
