Pattern testing

Some months ago I started to make patterns of my knitting designs. It's fun and challenging at the same time. The challege is to write down exactly what I do, so anyone who does the same end up with the same result as I did!

I have tested my patterns over and over again and that means knitting them. Here are the latest results of pattern testings. The top is great to wear and it's fun to knit (thankfully - as I have knitted it a few times now..). The same goes for the Lacy Leaf Capelet. I'm now looking for a yarn so I can knit that for the party season and wear with a dress!!!

Finished!

Just finished the lace sweater I wrote about on July 25^th.

You can see how small it was when the last stich was bound off! It looks like all the effort was for a too small top.

Then I soaked it in water and left to dry. A bit of ironing and voilá! It’s a beautiful sweater that goes as well with jeans as a skirt! I’m happy with the result and already on my next project!
