What I’m wearing
Feel the Bern by Caitlin Hunter – a free pattern on Ravelry. I made mine in sports-weight, so had to go up 2 sizes. The yarns are all scraps of my own hand dyed yarn.
FO’s
Sweater for John-John with Estonian Braids on the yoke. I will write up a pattern, but it will take some time. It is knit in Drops Lima, color 9015 for the yoke and arms, and color 0519 for the body.
WIPS
A sweater to match John’s, made in Peter’s size. It’s a monster of a sweater, but I will finish it!
A new design; a hap shawl, knit in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, the Mink Heather color.
And a new Half & Half Wrap from Purl Soho because I need one in lighter colors for summer! The first half will be Knit Picks Palette in the Blush color, and the second half will be my own Salt & Peber – one of my undyed bases.
Dream-crochet
The Solitude Blanket from ChiWei Ranck

HI, your feel the Bern is so nice! Mine was a failure and i don’t understand exactly why. Started the fourth size and took the right chart for it but on the end of the yoke it was the second size (…) LOL. I Will try again..love your podcast! Happy i discovered it. Greetings from Holland, Johanna.
I hope you will have better luck next time – it is a lovely sweater. But yes, sometimes our knitting will play tricks on us 😉
