On the needles {December 2022}

For the real Christmas feeling, Louisa has a knitting corner at home that she decorated to match the season. I would love to sit down with it!

While I'm writing this text, I'm knitting the third Christmas Stocking from PetiteKnit in Frititdsgarn from Sandnes.

Already last year I liked the idea of filling a homemade felt stocking for each of my children for Santa Claus. At the time, time was too short and I figured I had enough time for next year - this year. Only to come up short again and knit three giant stockings in record time.

So hopefully by the time you read this, I'll have managed to finish knitting the third one as well, felting all three, embroidering them, and hanging them stuffed on the kids' room doors on St. Nicholas Day.*

Jule is in sweater mode. Fits yes also perfectly to the current temperatures. Since the knitting warms and one is already looking forward to the wearing feeling on cold winter days.

On my needles is the Zoe Zipper Genser from Sandnes magazine 2212. I knit it from Babyull Lanett and Tynn Silk Mohair in Gyllenbrun from Sandnes. Knitted in semi-patent, this great sweater will probably accompany me a little longer, hihi....

Sometimes it happens that you are so in love with a knitted piece that you have to knit it a second time. It happened to Sandra. And guess which color she chose ...

Sometimes - but really only sometimes - it happens that I knit a tutorial twice. In this case, it's about the Balloon Jacket by Petite Knit, which I love so much that I simply need it a second time - and since the first model is cream, the color for number two was virtually set. Made from Como Grande and Premia by LAMANA in denim blue, I'm sure I'll love my second copy just as much as number one - possibly even a little bit more, because #teamblau.

Marisa is in the flow. One idea after the other is eager to be tested.

I have discovered a great new combination: Pinta by Pascuali and Cashmere Dreams by Lang Yarns. There come only great fibers together. I had to order the latter immediately for you. You can already find the yarn in the store. And soon you will hopefully find out what you could knit from this great combination.

Definitely something red it had to be with Mirjam. Can not be otherwise - Christmas is finally just around the corner!

Inspired by Louisa, I had to needle the Weekend Slipover V-Neck from PetiteKnit. I decided to use Fritidsgarn from Sandes - I like the red tone just too much. And because everyone needs some variety on the needles, I'm still knitting in parallel on the December Bow, also from PetiteKnit.

Of course, I also had to knit two Santa stockings (and I did it!), so my other projects had to take a back seat. But now it continues with ...

... the Monday Balaclava from PetiteKnit. The hat will be the Christmas gift for daughter and Compatible Cashmere has passed the knitting test in any case. Already on the needles it is a dream and for the baby head then in any case.
