Finished the baby jacket! (2 month in advance). It required less than 100g of yarn for 3 month size. Quite satisfied with the result and sewing! #knitting #giftknitting #freepattern #tricot

Next project - a sweater for my daughter. Now a picture in daylight with accurate colors.

The pattern is Just Dream https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-dream and I'm using quite large needles compared to my usual projects - 4.0 mm. Upside: much faster progess. Downside: awkward knitting (for me).

It's Finkhof yarn https://finkhof.de/wolle/wollgarne/strickwolle-duenn/-Southgerman merino. Much less soft than usual merino, but a local wool.

I only found this, when it was already getting close to 10 pm on my list of the world.

Started a new project today, so quite a bit of swatching and trying out needle sizes and not much to show for it.

But I'm halfway through the lower hen of the back piece.

Pattern: just dream https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-dream

It's for my daughter, with dark blue as background and burgundy stripes.

All socks have now been received by their new owners and gratefully too! The purple socks were for my mother-in-law, the plain grey for my father-in-law and the dk-weight grey with green heels toes and cuffs for my step-daughter's boyfriend. The purple socks were knit in #WestYorkshireSpinnersSignature4ply on Hidden Gem, the plain grey in #CascadeHeritageSock and the grey and green in #CoopKnitsSocksYeahDK

I finished my FIL's socks, but I had to knit them shorter than I wanted to so I can post them in time. I now have two gifts left to finish then I can cast on my gift to myself: a Christmas sweater!

Why is it always such a hassle to pin down a zipper on knitting? Ugh. At least the sewing shouldn't take too long. I need to finish this vest this week so I can mail it to my MIL in Britain.

(Dorothy's Vest, on Rav, knitted as a cardigan in Lion Brand Mandela Ombre)

Second pair of Christmas gift socks now on the needles. These are for my FIL who prefers longer socks so I guess I'll keep going til I run out of yarn
