A new pattern in the making

@brittarnhild

Almost two weeks since I finished Leander´s sweater. The knitting studio is tidy, UFOs and yarn all sorted. Yes, I do have a million unfinished projects to work on, a ton of left over yarn to use.  I am doing none of it. Instead I am finding paper and pencils, trying to transfer to paper an idea which has played in my mind for some time now.

The newly finished sweater was a lot of work. Thin yarn, thin needles, intricate pattern. The newly finished sweater was a lot of joy. Love and prayers in every single stitch. I can´t deny though that it was hard for my fingers. I have arthrosis. Quite bad for the moment. Knitting is good practice to prevent the fingers from stiffening, but too much knitting provoke inflammations. Knitting the red and white sweater was hard, but I try to be careful, I try to take care. And I would not be without the pleasure. As long as my fingers manage to hold the needles, I will continue to knit.

Tomorrow I plan to buy some new yarn and start playing with this new design. Next week I go to Italy, and just like I did last year, I will work on a garment for my grandson.

 

By the way, here is the YouTube video I posted yesterday.

I am AMAZED at the number of socks you have knit. A pair takes me SO LONG to knit, I must earn to knit faster. Hand knit socks are so warm and wonderful. I am inspired. I do Loe this knitting blog.
