Well done Edda, a swatch and sketch. I love your sketches, mine are not so pretty! I´m more of a very rough sketch type and lots of calculations type as you can see from the picture (I´m continuing the coffee theme).
Ohh I really am loving how this Madeline Tosh is knitting with moss stitch. Here you can see my swatches.
After a few experiments I think I´ve decided most of the design aspects, seamless and pockets… I’m definitely thinking pockets!
So Edda!
After waiting so long to start… it´s finally here…. My first blog post….. I went to your local yarn store handprjon.is. I went all the way to Hafnarfjörður (I live in Reykjavík) because they stock Madeline Tosh and as you know I´m a total sucker for Madeline Tosh, let´s face it Madeline Tosh is highly addictive!
For this first project I´m thinking the perfect work cardigan that goes with everything and is both comfortable and presentable at the office. Long, open and simple but with a few hidden details to keep things interesting. I’m calling it Þorra Peysa or maybe The Thorra Sweater for you non Icelandic people because of the Þorra season that is upon us. If you don´t know much about Þorri click here. I bought black yarn, because… well… unlike you, my entire wardrobe is black, well.. almost.
So Edda, let’s get this ball rolling! I´ve been working on a few design projects and am hoping to get it out there before we start our project in the beginning of next year. Here is a sneak peek.
I will give you a clue, it’s a baby cardigan.
