What To Knit Next? Solved!
Bunny Wishes
These socks by Sarah of Grey Owl Knits are adorable! Inspired by wishes on dandelion seeds, it evokes the child in us all.
Knitted cuff down and changing needle size to accommodate the stranded knitting for the bunny motif of the leg.
It’s very well written, and fully tested by expert knitters.
Keep It Loose & Groovy
The Norma Sweater, crafted by Louise from My Favorite Things Knitwear, is a traditional raglan complemented by a sophisticated high mock neck. This piece exudes timelessness and elegance, enhanced by its lovely drape and relaxed fit.
Its neckline is meticulously shaped using short rows following the initial ribbed section, while the unique and eye-catching colors add a touch of whimsy, nodding to the playful knitting styles of the 60s and 70s.
Constructed from the top down, this sweater offers the added advantage of length customization, allowing for fittings throughout the knitting process to achieve the perfect length.
For The Love Of Art Deco
Mosaic knitting at it’s finest, this shawl has art-deco-inspired geometric shapes as its focal point. It’s so eye catching! I highly recommend Ambah’s designs and I’m still in love with the Kentia Shawl I created.
Important to note is the colorwork is charted only, not written out.
Ethereal Beauty
A stunningly romantic cardigan that feels as light as a cloud to wear! The extra dazzle of beads highlights the intricacies of the geometric motifs inspired by the celestial skies of Greek Mythology. It’ll be a treasured garment.
2 strands of mohair are held together to create a superb lofty fabric.
The suggested yarn, Cabrito by Manos del Uruguay, is a blend of mohair and nylon/polyamide to give it extra strength.
I’ve knitted with this yarn to create a cowl, it’s so soft and fine.
