One week and two new patterns! It’s a big week!

This post is the tale of that hiking sweater I was knitting in August, when I was getting ready for my first ever hiking and backpacking trip in Iceland. This post is also a bit about my new design Orgeat Sweater (aka the hiking sweater).

Milkshake Scarf features garter stitch, i-cord edging and super simple intarsia. Perfect little in-between knit while you think about the next big sweater project of yours.

To celebrate my favourite season, there’s now a little sale happening over here on my site: The Sweater Weather Pattern Sale!

That dreamy autumn weather is here, with golden leaves all around us and frosty mornings that make us reach for an extra squishy and warm layer! This is the weather I'm dreaming about right now!

Today is all about Säie Sweater! If this doesn’t bring the sweater weather, autumn feel to me, I don’t know what will! It’s all colorwork, circular yoke sweater that has been in the making for quite some time. Säie Sweater is an ode to the beautiful colors of Säie Wool.

Here we are again, at the start of August! Just like that July is gone and we are already strongly heading to back-to-school season. This obviously means back to work season for me, and even though I wasn’t supposed to have any real time off this summer, somehow it just happens - my pace slows down, I can hardly open my computer and everything is more or less in standstill.

The post from a few days ago about my latest collaboration with Aara Yarn made me think back to our first collaboration ever: Linnaea Shawl!

This year I have so many fabulous projects lined up, that it would be hard to convince me to take a weeks long pause anyway! More details on those later, but today I wanted to share my Alma Skirt with you. Alma Skirt was another collaboration with Ilo Yarn for Jyväskylä Knit Fest 2024.

Aalto Vest is originally designed for amirisu magazine, their spring/summer issue of 2023, issue 26. It is a spectacular issue focusing on Finland and northern landscapes with Finnish designers included and with a feature of Helsinki as a craft city guide.
