The sweater reknit is officially done now! I'm very happy with how it turned out, I can see myself wearing it a lot!
The skyline pattern can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/SakikoJones/paper-dolls
I knit the sweater after my measurements. The yarn is Drops Baby Alpaca Silk, which is discontinued.
Who wore it best? Me or me 10 years ago? 😁
The way I watch my #knitting emerge as though mesmerized by the world's slowest 3D printer
This sock has a HEEL. It came out of my FINGERS. 🤨🪄

What a quick knit! This sweater has been my project for the christmas break. It's a bit more elegant than my other knitwear so it fills a gap in my wardrobe. It is so soft and airy!

To get this account filled with some content, here's a few of my recent FO's. As you can see, I've been on a sock knitting kick. Something about portability and endless variations on a theme.

Hi!
I'm Cynthia from The Netherlands. Nice to meet you!
I've created this account to save my non-yarny friends from fiber-overload. I got chronically ill in November '23 and have been #knitting a lot ever since, both for fun and to save my sanity.
Apart from knitting I'm 'generally crafty' and love to read.
In a former life I used to be a copywriter and writing coach/teacher.

@terrymatz is at fault. 😉
A few days ago she posted patterns for Tolkien / LOTR. I showed the hat to my son and ...
Now I'm knitting it.
"The Fellowship of the Ring hat" https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-fellowship-of-the-ring-hat
Provisional cast on, because I'm doing it in double knit. No floats on the inside that way. The yarn is very silky merino because sensitive skin. Smooth silky yarn and long floats are a recipe for disaster.
