At the Saturday coffee and on Instagram I have already told it: I have chosen a new in-between project. One that I'm really knitting just for me. No time pressure. No headaches. Just bought a great tutorial, picked out the perfect yarn - Milano - and now I'm knitting away. In between, when I have time, without pressure.

I was already able to motivate some of you, how great! Maybe you also still have desire? I knit the long version, or at least a longer version than the short version. Since the cardigan is knitted top-down, you can try on conveniently in between.

If you also fancy a light, summery version of Whippet and want to knit with Milano, you can find all the colors in my store. It's really a great yarn and is also great for shawls (there's a shawl coming soon here, of course, and you'll find a Milano tutorial in my book, too). The great thing about most Lamana yarns is the wide variety of colors. There is actually always something suitable... For my current #streifenhörnchen cloth on my needles, that I can show you hopefully soon unchained, I knit natural tones:

However, I must warn you already, because Milano has just like the original yarn in the Whippet pattern of the short version a yardage of about 180m per 25g and knits accordingly with thin needles. But if you are not afraid of that, you can happily buy it! The matching fine knitting needles I have also bought (because I need thinner needles than fit on my Click system) and because I think they are great, they are also here with me already in the most common lengths of 60cm and 80cm.

Back to Whippet. I know that some of you are a bit afraid of English pattern. I can understand that, especially for this kind of projects, because it is not without it. But there are two versions of Whippet, a short and a long cardigan. The tutorial for the short cardigan is also available in German!instructionsttern for the long cardigan are in English. I bought both, because I was still unsure whether short or long...

Anyway, Whippet is now pinned. Hard to believe that it will become a jacket!
