Christmas Green
Christmas time is coming. It’s time to wear my Christmas green cardigan Woolly Dolly. I designed this cardigan in an autumn morning last year. I was in a plaza with my family. I was sitting on a bench. I saw a Christmas green down coat in a shop’s window at the opposite side of the plaza. It was so far away that I could not see the details. So my imagination designed this sweater. It’s always a great source of inspiration when I cannot see something clearly. I began looking for the perfect Christmas green yarn. Cascade Greenland had that right color. I contacted Cascade Yarns and they generously offered…

My favorite grey
I am working on a design with the Yowza yarn from Miss Babs in the colorway Slate (and another secret color). It is the most beautiful grey I have found so far. I love bright colors and grey is one of the few neutrals that works great with intense colors. Most of the times grey makes me look washed out, but not with this one. I am looking forward to knitting this design. In the meanwhile, I am still looking for more testers for this oversized cardigan. If you are interested, you can find more details here. It will be released in late August. Sign up for the newsletter below…
