Straightforward Mitts by Mone Dräger, modified!

I made these with Dye Mad Yarns' Chester Sock base in Play for a Purpose (2023). The pattern linked above does not come with fingers, but a friend saw @ninalanfer's version modified to include half fingers and loved it. So, naturally, I had to Make These For Them :)

Huge shout-out to nina for generously linking me (an absolute finger-knitting noob) helpful patterns and notes for learning how to do fingers! It was super helpful and very appreciated, and now I feel Unstoppable!!

I finished my gf's winter lights shawl at 3:30pm on the day of her birthday (This was supposed to be a Yule gift btw) but hey, that counts as finishing it in time. The 700ish stitch icord bind off took 4.5 hours and there were 40 ends to weave in but by the gods I finished. It needs blocked but we're moving some stuff around so I'll use our bed to block it tomorrow. There's one major mistake in there I'm really hoping will block out.

Now I'm going to dye some alpaca lace yarn "hot fuchsia" (that's the name of the Jacquard dye I am using) and look at the beads situation because I think I'm going to make another Sapphira shawl if I have enough beads. The last one was fueled by spite and trauma. This one will be fueled by joy and flamboyance.

Dustland Shawl

I had a lot more of the yarn left over from my sweater than expected, so that means casting on a new sweater with what was left! Since this yarn is a bit thicker than the pattern calls for, I may not do as many repeats as it says, but it's sure to be a good sized, fun textured shawl when I'm done. So far, I really like the crescent shape of it as well.

#crafts #description in alt text #knitting #knitblr #knit #dustland shawl #which is the name of the pattern and it's by stephen west #lion brand wool ease arrowwood #for the yarn #i have about 5 balls left since i only used 7 for the sweater (and expected to use closer to 10)

Update on my WIPs, shawl 10 is only 7 rows from bind off, but what very long rows they are. Really it’s two more pattern rows and then a couple in just plain reverse stockinette but I’m not quite sure about the reverse stockinette at the end, I’m going to have a look at some of the other projects and see If I want to change that. Sweater 7 is also coming along well, I’m almost half way through the body. I need some joy rn so I’m thinking about winding the yarn I need for my next “pay attention” project. I know I want to do a Stephen West shawl, but I’m not sure between Fantastitch or Aurora Cabin. I have enough yarn to probably do both so I really shouldn’t stress about it, I’m just annoyed that I have 6 different colours and Fantastitch calls for 7 and Aurora Cabin calls for 5.

#project: shawl 10 #project: sweater 7 #wip #knitting #knitblr #unfortunately my back is flaring up AND i have a doctors appointment tomorrow. i just want to sleep for a week :( #i would be less annoyed choosing what pattern for the colour work shawl if I liked asymmetrical shawls #but i really. really do not like them. it's very sad for me. #post typing this i found ANOTHER west knits shawl that i fits what i'm looking for but it's another 7 colour one #once again i probably have plenty of yarn. I have 200 grams of 3 colours and 100 grams of the other three. but dang is this hard to decide.

I should finish the hat I’m working on first but look at how this is knitting up? I might add some purple stripes too but I haven’t decided.

Vogue Knitting, Winter 2022/2023

This is a colorful and playful issue. The cover features Parker, an oversized, boxy, bottom-up sweater with short rows at the back and an cowl collar by Deborah Newton. It is an advanced project a 4 out of 4 on the scale of difficulty made from Manos Del Uruguay Maxima which is a wool worsted weight yarn. Newton also writes an article on making choices for changing the color along with 5 other versions of the yoke. It will get you thinking about colorwork and eager to do some test swatches.

Another advanced colorwork project is the Jekyll cardigan with a shawl collar by Paul Haesemeyer. Notice the i-cord trimming all around the edges. It closes with a single button at the bottom of the collar. It has a boxy shape and is made in pieces from the bottom up out of Istex Lettilopi which is another worsted weight wool. Again, you can imagine a different color schema.

The pretty mittens in blue and white birds-eye stitch pattern are called Cesar. Designed by Kristin Ornolfsdottir, they are made of Purl Soho’s Season Alpaca and a feature shows the pattern done up in swatches of 4 other color and yarn combinations. They care a 3 out of 4 for difficulty

A number of playful single-color patterns show up too. Including Petite Darjeeling which you see here in lilac designed by Chloe Elizabeth Birch who also created a woman’s size.

More likely to have universal appeal is the long scarf Rushmore by Norah Gaughan in 3 versions in 3 colors of Cascade 220 Grande Superwash, a bulky yarn. As Gaughan explains, it is a two-sided cable pattern and thus difficult to read as a chart, although you can find the charts on the Vogue Knitting website. Since it is only an 8-row pattern with a repeat within, it may be that the written instructions are enough?  The large yarn size may help too with this 3 out of 4 for difficulty pattern

There are a total of 19 patterns, including several sporty pullovers, a good, a vest, a shawl and another pair of mittens. Meg Swansen’s column ponders mittens, a report on a knitting trip through Norway is included, plus interviews with Tom Daley, a knitter and Olympic diver, and designer Stephen West, as well as some gifts and books sections.

I started this in the middle of November. Very pleased to have finished it it time for New Year :)

Enchanted Mesa Part 2

Enchanted Mesa Part 2

I’ve nearly completed the body section of this sweater. All that’s left is the hem, which has a selection of different ways to finish it. I’m choosing the Brioche finish, because I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time, but never got around to it. This is a great reason to do that. I watched some videos and knit (and reknit!) a sample several times. I think I have the basic idea, but I’m…

Newlyn Fisher Clothing Set

I come to you today with this little historical seaside fashion interlude (before going back to work on more 1880′s sets). This set includes cable knit sweaters in high and low waisted, and variations on traditional fishermen smocks. More pics and download below

This set is partly inspired by the works of the school of Newlyn, a group of painters known to have depicted the surrounding of Newlyn, a Cornish coastal town, and its many fishermen in the 1880′s to 1900′s. And here is the painting that I referenced in the promo picture.

—————————  Cableknit Sweater  ————————

———————————————————————————

This is the sweater from the Werewolf pack without the little laced up strings on the shoulders (why do you always add these unnecessary details EA ? 😅). I’ve made a short version (S) for my high waisted needs and a long (L) version, for both masc and fem frames, as well as both adult and children. 

Cableknit sweaters originated from Ireland, in the Aran Islands, though other types of knitted jumpers called gansey already existed in the British, Irish and Channel isles. They were created between the 1890′s and 1900′s. They were initially knitted with unwashed and undied wool. Both the natural lanolin from the virgin wool and the knitted patterns made for water resistant sweaters and as such : good alternatives to the previously used ganseys made of oiled wool died with indigo.

 These Aran sweaters slowly became some fashionable sportswear item during the 20′s and 30′s, and later reached its peak popularity in the 50s’ and 60′s worn by the likes of Grace Kelly and Steve McQueen.

2 lenghts : S & L

——————————— Vareuse V1 ——————————

———————————————————————————

Vareuses are a style of fishermen smocks with a V neck. This style was typical of Brittany fishermen though I have seen depiction of Norwegian fishermen for example sporting this style of smocks on 1880s paintings too. While I couldn’t find substancial informations on their origins and date of appereance, vareuses seem to have been used at least as far as mid 19th century and were still worn as work wear up til the mid 20th. 

It is said that traditionally fishers wore different colors depending on their fishing style : yellow ones for those shellfish picking, rust colored ones for those using fish traps, red ones for oyster farmers and blue ones for those fishing in the open seas.

Fishermen smocks were oiled to be water repellant and worn on top of clothes and knitted garments to protect them from water and keep them relatively clean.

On this 1st version of the vareuse I’ve not put any clothing “underneath” to allow for warm weather and for combinations with accessory shirts or turtlenecks.

33 solid swatches

for adults and children

——————————— Vareuse V2 ——————————

———————————————————————————

This 2nd version of a vareuse include a cableknit jumper sticking out of the V neck collar. The set also includes an overlay to pick the color of said cableknit jumper.

33 solid swatches

39 solid swatches on the cableknit overlay (located in the right wrist section)

for all ages

—————————  Cornish Crewneck  ————————

———————————————————————————

Similarly to the vareuse, the crewneck is a style of fishermen smocks. This style is traditionally associated with Cornwall, in the north west of England. Cornish crewneck smocks were used similarly to vareuses.

This was the first shawl I made, I used Drops Alaska yarns in three different shades of grey (as you can clearly see) and the pattern is the Birdwing shawl by Stephen West. It’s one of his older designs before his current style of chaoticness, I think it was around the time he began experimenting with more unusual elements and shapes in his patterns, it’s from a decade ago. I adore this shawl and honestly wouldn’t mind knitting a second one but with rainbow colours, make it into a pride flag project perhaps?
