I'm not too big on planning knits, that said some projects I'd like to take on this year are:

  • Lumme tee, or pullover in my case. A friend gifted me this beautiful terracotta merino DK yarn and have been wondering what to use it for, finally settled I'd try my first big colorwork project. I'll probably pair it with a mauve/lilac yarn.
  • Fade of beads tee I received this pattern for free for attending an event and right away knew I wanted to knit it. I've been ogling Pope Vergara's designs for a while now and looked forward to incorporating beads. I have the supplies already and will probably cast on once I finish the project I'm currently working on.
  • Rochambeau cowlette I got this pattern to knit up a beautiful handdyed merino fingering yarn I got on my 2023 trip to Girona (Spain).
  • Holiday Doodle Cup Cozies Every year I make a small handmade gift for friends and work mates and this is what I chose I'll give this year. I'll probably get the yarns soon and will start early so I'm not knit-rushing in November 😂

Besides that I'd like to sign up for a class on Brioche knitting.

I would like to get all these done this year:

I’ve already started the pink socks pattern, which I posted earlier this week. I think once I turn the heels I might cast on the bottom left sweater and get a start on it while finishing the socks.
