Who would have thought that this summer is perfect for wool? When a cold breeze is imminent a pink breeze is important. I actually knitted this in march.
This is my first breeze from designer Stephen West. My next turquoise one is a lot better. Because when I knitted the icord on this pink breeze it got too tight and I had to block it hard to even get it a little better.

If it is in garter stitch and have been passing my knitting needles it does. In this case it is turquoise with a little red. This is a Stephen West design, Garter Breeze.
He is genius with garter stitch and short rows. There are no picking up wraps when you knit garter stitch. And I love that. In this case there would be a million of them. Or something like that.
However, there is a quite Flowermouse Design ❀ Lonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10844308068599159223noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908464313640305459.post-15767629549834943362020-06-08T14:39:00.000+02:002020-06-08T14:38:59.990+02:00Anybody Out There?

Sometimes yarn is speaking to me from my stash: Knit me, Knit me, Knit me. This may qualify as some kind of diagnosis but since we are not allowed to see people, yarn can be a good substitute for a hug and a conversation. LOL!!!

Excellent pattern for stranded knitting and a colorful hat. The turquoise was the first.
Nothing is more soothing than wool and needles. I joined a knit along during easter and knitted a hat i was really happy about. So, why stop at one hat? I ended up with three of them. One is for my sister in purple.

I did not wear hats. I did not knit hats. But that is about to change. It is all about the right pattern and the perfect colors.
It was actually very nice to wear my new hat in the cold weather we are having. So, I have converted to a hat wearer without limits. And in bright colors.
An easy pattern and it didn't take long to knit either. I really enjoyed it.

Is it possible to knit a photo? Or knit the colors from it? Yes, is the answer. I joined a knit along (KAL) for the Shetland Wool week hat. You find the free pattern here.
All who participate upload a photo. Then all knitters chose someone elses photo and use colors found in that photo.
It is so much fun.

Always enough projects to enjoy.
As long as there are arms, needles, yarn and colors I will knit. I tend to always have a lot of projects lying around. In these times where one should stay indoor for a very long period it is lovely to let the needles fuel my creativity.
I always knit what I like and what gives joy. Nothing else.

After I started using bright colors, and colors I like and enjoy, I have been a happier person.
The scarf goes with everything.
I am so grateful that I have all those wonderful colors to choose from in my favorite yarn, Finull Pt2 from Rauma.
