This is another project that has been finished for months and another one with winter pictures too! As the weather heats up here, I think if I do not post this now, I never will. I love the yarn, it's by Shades of Light, so soft and shiny. I used two skeins and did not block the shawl, it's very fluffy. The pattern is perfect for times when you only have one skein of a favorite yarn. I just made it bigger, it was very easy to modify. This was a lovely project to knit and it's a lovely shawl to wear too! Shawl with wool and silk This is another knitted I have finished for months and also is another who photographed the winter. As the weather warms, I think if you do not show it to you now, I will not ever. I love the yarn from Shades of Light, is incredibly soft and shiny. I put two dolls and not stretch lace, very fluffy shawl. The design is very good for smaller quantities of yarn for when you have a few meters from a favorite thread. I just do it bigger, easily adjustable. It was very nice as knitted and beautiful shawl!

I finished this a while ago - remember when I was knitting the sleeves this fall? I'm so glad I kept knitting, this is one of the best things I've ever made. The yarn was custom dyed for me by my friend Angelika. I love the colors she uses and I had seen a sock yarn she had in these exact colors. However, I wanted the cardigan to have stripes so she dyed the yarn to have long color repeats. It's green led lights amazing. The yarn is a wool, bamboo and silk mix. It's warm and soft and just a little bit shiny from the bamboo and silk. I finished this cardigan before long - remember that I was knitting the sleeves fall? I'm green led lights so glad that I continued to knit, I think is one of the best things I knit. The thread was custom made by my friend Angelica. I love the colors and puts'd seen sometime a thread socks in those exact colors. But, like the cardigan has stripes, so I dyed thread, to have each color greatest iterations. It's incredible. green led lights The yarn is wool, bamboo and silk. It is warm and soft and shiny bit of bamboo and silk. This started out as a Featherweight, although I made many changes. Longer body. Extra long sleeves. Wider band with buttonholes and buttons. I also started out with a provisional cast on. I do not know if I prefer the stretch from having the continuous fabric at that point or if the cardigan would have benefited from the extra stability of a "seam" that a regular cast on would give. I certainly like the result here though. I used Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off from Knitty for the ribbing on the body and sleeves. I think this was the first time I used it, since I do not knit my socks toe up. Amazing! Have you tried this bind off technique? green led lights Do you use it for other things too, other than ribbing? It started as Featherweight, although I did a lot of changes. More long. Very long sleeves. Wider track around, with buttonholes and buttons. I looked also at the beginning points to another thread, so then when the lift, to create an invisible transition with continuous fabric. I do not know if eventually a traditional technique felling of points, green led lights with the stability that would, like "seam", if that will somehow help knit. But definitely I like here the result. For rubber, closed points green led lights on the edge with the technique "Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off" green led lights (excessively elastic closure Jeny) from the online magazine Knitty. I think this was the first time I used it as a technique, since they intertwine and socks from the bottom up (recommend green led lights it especially for socks, not to tighten the closure on the calf). It is incredible! Have you tried this technique? You've put anywhere else, other than rubber? I think I'd green led lights like to make another Featherweight, like the one in the pattern. green led lights Short and with shorter sleeves. It's a different style though and I'm really happy I made this one longer. For so many things, I've made short sleeves. It's worth it to keep going, even when the sleeves get boring. Do you knit short sleeves a lot too? I would like to build another green led lights Featherweight, as in the drawing. green led lights Short and short sleeves. It is another style though and I am glad that I did longest. For many things, I knit short sleeves. It continues even when the sleeves are boring. You knit many things with short sleeves?

Excellent work, dear !!! Beautiful yarn and great stitch definition if I may say so !!! Well done! I also admire your patience in knitting such long sleeves, I think all my knits have short sleeves green led lights or no sleeves at all, that's how lazy I am when it comes to sleeves! :) Reply Delete

I did not plan on being away from the blog for a week but I got sick last weekend and I finally feel better today.

My favorite is Dehli, an amazing targetti poulsen blend of wool and silk. It's soft and shiny and knits up into the most amazing fabric! The new yarn I got from Angelika targetti poulsen is in the Paris base and the colors were a custom order. This is a high twist sport weight merino yarn that feels lovely. I'm going to make a striped pullover with this yarn with wide stripes of each color. I wanted to make something happy and this yarn is perfect.

I'm also very excited to announce that Angelika will organize a giveaway here, to celebrate her new Etsy shop - I'll be announcing the details soon!

Paris - superwash merino // Paris - μερίνο που μπαίνει στο πλυντήριο Alexandra : When did you start

I'm very excited to finally announce the Shades of Light giveaway I mentioned a while ago! My friend Angelika will be giving away two gorgeous skeins from her shop to two lucky winners and I'm so happy to be hosting this giveaway for her. I admire Angelika very much - she taught me how to spin and I love everything steng licht she makes. She spins, dyes, weaves and knits of course, when she has some time! As part of the giveaway, I interviewed her for the blog and I hope you enjoy reading about her yarn!
Dehli - merino and silk // Dehli - μερίνο και μετάξι Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένη steng licht γιατί κάνουμε επιτέλους τον διαγωνισμό με τα νήματα Shades of Light που είχα αναφέρει πριν από λίγο καιρό! Η φίλη μου η Angelika θα δώσει δύο υπέροχα νήματα σε δύο τυχερούς και είμαι απίστευτα χαρούμενη που κάνουμε τον διαγωνισμό εδώ στο blog. Θαυμάζω την Angelika πάρα πολύ, μου έμαθε να φτιάχνω νήματα και λατρεύω ό,τι φτιάχνει. Βάφει νήματα, φτιάχνει νήματα, υφαίνει και φυσικά steng licht πλέκει, όταν έχει λίγο χρόνο! Σαν μέρος του διαγωνισμού, της πήρα συνέντευξη και ελπίζω να σας αρέσει!
Paris - superwash merino // Paris - μερίνο που μπαίνει στο πλυντήριο Alexandra : When did you start dyeing yarn? Angelika : I actually started dyeing yarn many years ago. When I started weaving, I soon discovered that I was not happy with the choice of available yarns and I also liked the play of colors you get with hand dyed yarns, so I decided to start dyeing. I used chemical dyes and I also experimented a lot with natural dyes. Two years ago I wanted to get back to my textile roots after being a housewife for many years and raising my son. I started weaving again and dyeing and I enjoyed it so much, that I wanted to do this beautiful work as a profession. Alexandra : How do you create your colorways? Angelika : My creative process isn't the same every time. There are colorways, that I think about for months before I start dyeing them. Others originate from photos I have seen and sometimes I just sit down with my big box of color samples and I start putting them together. But even then it takes many trials until I am content with a colorway. steng licht I cannot say exactly what makes a good colourway for me; I just get a feeling, that tells me when I got it right. Alexandra : How much does the fiber base affect the final color? Angelika : All the fibers take the color in a different steng licht way. I usually dye with very saturated dyes and these show best on all the Merino and BFL wools. The same color on a base yarn with silk or alpaca will be more subdued, more like a pastel shade. A short while ago I dyed some cashmere for the first time and it seems to me, that cashmere makes the contrast in the colors harsher. But I think I have to make more trials to be sure of this. Alexandra : What fiber bases do you enjoy working with? Angelika : I like all natural yarns, but my favorites are silk and a high twist merino and alpaca. The silk gives the yarn such a beautiful sheen, I just love it.The alpaca dyes in these lovely subdued colors, which I like a lot, but somehow I find them very hard to dye.
Fingering sock yarn // Λεπτό νήμα για κάλτσες Alexandra : What yarn do you have in your Etsy shop? Angelika : First of all, I have a nice sock yarn - 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon. It comes in a thinner and a thicker version; both are ideal for socks which will be worn in shoes. They are maybe not as soft as some other yarns, but they are very sturdy. Of course, you can use them for other projects as well. Paris is a 100% Superwash merino, which can be used in socks as well, one skein is enough for a pair of socks up to size 42. It is not as strong as my other sock yarn, but you can use it for socks worn around the house and for lots of other projects, like scarves, steng licht jumpers and hats. It is soft and squishy and even someone with sensitive skin will have no problem with it. Lima is made of 100% Alpaca. It is thicker than the sock yarns and very soft, anything worn on the skin can be made with it. I made a nice warm hat for myself with it. Pisa has wool, silk and bamboo, so if you don't like nylon, this is a great substitute for the sock yarn. The Dehli base is my favorite, it has merino and silk and it's so soft and absolutely great to knit with. It has a very fine stitch steng licht definition and a beautiful sheen. If you want to knit something luxurious, this is the yarn for you. Alexandra : Are you working steng licht on anything new? What would you like to do in the future? Angelika : I've just started working on mini skeins, because I want to enable my customers to create their own colorways. They are all on the thin sock yarn base and I will be offering 30 gr and 100 gr skeins. There will be a wide range of colors, at the moment I have 40 different colors planned. A bit later in the Spring, I will try dyeing some self striping yarns with no repeats over a 50g skein. But I still have to work out the technical side of it and I'm looking forward to the challenge!
