Hanne again
This is the start of my 3rd Hanne Falkenberg project. This is the Pirouette, a cape project that alternates between stripes and solid knitting. As usual with her kits, it is a LOT of garter stitch knitting. Don’t expect to see a quick knit out of this one. One week of knitting and I barely finished the first sleeve, and that was on vacation. The kits come in many colors, my colorway does not have a photo to show for it. This is the sample shown:
I am also working on plying the last of my yarns from the Tour de Fleece. I have the Mad Monet by Fiber Optic, and Mediterranean by Expertly Dyed. I think that they are looking good together. I still do not have great confidence in predicting what the yarns will look like spun and plyed up.
together they remind me of Water Lilies by Monet:

I’m pleased to hear that you are still knitting! I read about Hanne Falkenberg kits in your blog a while ago, and feel tempted to try one, though I am not that keen on garter stitch. Sounds like a project for the mythical long winter evenings.

If you are not a fan of garter stitch, then the Hanne kits are not for you. I love them, but I like the mindless long knitting at times.
