in late june Joji asked if i would like to test her new sweater
design, which was first intended to be a kit from Lioness Arts...
so i had the pleasure to receive a yarn especially dyed for me!!! lucky me :)
pattern. dragonflies jumper
needles. 4.5 mm [US 7] and 4 mm [US 6]
yarn. Lioness Arts MCN DK colourway tinder
it, cause i really didn't want this to end :)
a wonderful pattern, a pattern stitch that keeps you interested
and otherwise is very easy to memorize
just loved every single stitch i made...
and the yarn.... is definitely divine
Dani did such a wonderful job
only did some minor mods:
shortened the body and worked less garter rounds for the bottom
also worked less garter rounds for the neckline
(i thought a wider neck fits me better...and i absolutely love it
the way it is)
other than that i followed the pattern exactly and i think the fit is perfect - just love it
also finished a cute cardi i testknitted for Svetlana
it's blocking right now - maybe i can take a few pix over the weekend
aaaand i did a first step into dyeing
tadaaaa... my first handdyed
so now there is only to think what to do with those beauties...
have good days
isa k.
oh my goodness!!! first of all, i looove dragonflies. and i absolutely have to knit one for myself. i do like your mods. i'm also a fan of a wider neck. and also... ummm you dye yarn too?! you're ah-mazing! can't wait to see more of it! xo
