From Cowl to Hat

 This yarn used to be a cowl that wasn't too useful so I turned it into a hat and it will make a second one and maybe some wrist warmers too.

It's a Lang Yarns pattern slightly adapted.

Yellow Cardigan

 I made this light baby cardigan from Lang Yarns Baby Cotton, which is still available.

It's lovely to knit, very light and soft. If you have very dry hands like I have, it can be beneficial to use a non-greasy hand cream. It makes it less slippery and easier to handle.

The pattern is from FaM 196 Baby, it's out of print, but maybe you can find it on eBay or a second hand online book store. It has some really nice patterns.

Maybe Dress, Maybe Tunic

 Little dress/tunic made with the sadly discontinued Lang Yarns Omega Baby.

The quality of this baby yarn is above anything I have used before. It's so soft and knits up so well. I still can't believe they discontinued it.

The pattern is from an older FaM magazine. I can't look it up quickly now because they changed the website and all patterns of discontinued yarn have gone. Still pissed off about it.

The new website is sluggish, and has all these stupid quirks that drive my Aspie brain crazy.

Socks Again

 You didn't expect that didn't you? 😂😂😂

A pair for hubby and guess what the same pattern again for myself this time in Lang Yarn Jawoll and Lana Grossa Meilenweit Tweed.

Super Soxx Alpaca

I spotted this new Lang Yarns sock yarn called Super Soxx Alpaca.

I just had to get one to try.

It knits up super lovely. You get warm fingers while knitting.

Oh, and really toasty feet.

I'll get some more one day.

Cable Hat

A slightly modified pattern I found on Ravelry

I used knit in elastic for the rib hoping it will keep the tension even after I washed it.

Because Merino yarn has this annoying habit to grow.

I have a Merino wool beanie hat I had washed gently etc and now it keeps falling into my face.

I have washed it with my socks now and it seems better again.

The yarn used is

Lang Yarn Thema Nuova

Quick update

So, we finally got married 👫💕

Nothing spectacular just a few family members were present.

Then we jetted off to our honeymoon at my mum's in Switzerland.

Also, it was my mum's 80th birthday. 🎉

She loved her new bag btw.

I knitted the two pairs of socks I brought yarn with me pretty quickly so I had to buy some more.

I still have to take pictures of the ones I finished.

My mum wanted a shawl so I made her one in between the socks.

Those three weeks at my mum's were over pretty quickly. 

Hubby really enjoyed it. He now realised that autumn can be just as lovely in Switzerland. No need to go during summer when it's too hot.

So we filled the suitcase with yarn (only kidding) and food.

So, that was it.
