I started this blog awhile ago to chronicle my knitting life & other pieces of wisdom. I have not done the job I intended to over the last while & would like to try to do better. I have looked through the pieces of knitting that I have done over the past few years & feel a bit disappointed in that I gave away so much that I was not happy with.
I started to ponder what do I want in my wardrobe that I have knit or sewn. What can I make that I cannot obtain at the clothing store. Ever since I went through cancer treatment in 2008 & 5 years of hormone therapy I find that I NEED comfort. IF IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE I just cannot wear it. Whether it is clothing, shoe, make up. I have lost to ability to cope with the ability uncomfortable. So I am on a journey to buy what I don't want to make & make what I can that suits my shape.
In my knitting I have started a sweater called Laia by Isabelle Kraemer. I am making it out of Liberta, a lace weight yarn from Vegan Yarns, The colour way is Logwood & I am caring it double to get the gauge I need. Laia Sweater Project I also started a Mohair Bias Loop cowl that can be a covering for over the shoulders. I am using El Cielo by Cascade Yarns. I got this kit from Valley Yarns. Ravelry Project Page
I feel these will be things that will wonderful in my wardrobe for at least 3 out of the 4 seasons.
I also am going to sew two tops. I will share them in a future blog post so for now I hope you are will & I hope to talk with you again soon.
