I didn’t add too many finished objects this week. Just my Barley Light Hat. But I did add a few things to my list.
I received my copy of Shetland Wool Week 2020 and fell in love with the Strom Cardigan pattern. I started looking at yarn online and realized that SURELY I had enough Milarrochy Tweed in my stash for this. And I was right! The main color will be Tarbet Blue, top. The other blue may be a little close, but I’ve got a lighter and a darker one if needed. The pink on the sweater will be orange. 🧡
I got my yarn for the Water Shawl Knitalong.
I ordered this Blacker Lyonesse with the intention of making a suit. I don’t think this is quite right for that. Instead I think I will knit one of Wolf and Faun’s shawl patterns. I’m not sure which one yet. Maybe Madda.
I’m adding to my holiday makes! This Ramen Needles DK yarn is called Christmas Village. I was thinking of knitting a Rikke Hat (Rav link) which has been in my library for a while, but geez how many hats can a person make and wear? So then I thought maybe some mittens?
And while we’re lining up holiday makes, here is my December sock yarn.
That’s four holiday makes planned for December: two sparkly cowls, one pair of mittens, and one pair of socks. That’s realistic, right?

So much pretty yarn. I think your cardigan project will be gorgeous and I love the very Scottish autumnal colours. The Christmas projects sound fun and I love the look of those sock yarns.

I like your color choices for the sweater. Better than the original for my tastes!
And there are lots of cold heads out there – you can make things and pass them on, you know. It’s the process, after all. You can’t make too many hats!

Some great yarn acquisitions! Your holiday projects are going to be so cheery and lovely 🙂 And you have some gorgeous yarns for your Strom cardigan! I am also thinking about getting some of Ramen Needles’ Christmas yarn. I’m still holding out hope she will do a mini-skein set, as I’m having trouble choosing 🙂 Really looking forward to our Water Shawl knit along – I really have to get into the stash for that one.

I’m in love with your vision for the Strom Cardigan!
All these beautiful holiday yarns are planting the seed for me to make something festive for myself: I am NOT a festive person so this is quite the feat.

No they are handmade wool felt from Nepal though, and fair trade, from my work at globalgiftsft.com.
