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.

I’m trying to minimise computer work, but I’m knitting outside as much as possible - so some work gets done after all!

So I had the idea of a Summer Sale! And it has started already! Use code SUMMER to get a 20% discount on all the patterns in my shop! The sale continues until the end of the day Friday, June 28th, 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.

I thought today would be a lovely day to look closer at the design process during the making of Serendipity Sweater, this lovely cabled raglan sweater. You might have followed the journey of this design on my Instagram earlier this year: I shared quite a bit process and progress pictures and videos of this one.

For a very long time I’ve been loving double seed stitch, or moss stitch, with cables, but now the seed stitch feel so very fresh for some reason. Maybe it’s the need for a little change, maybe I’ve seen more seed stitch around, who knows? But seed stitch is the true champion of this project and the cables are mainly just framing it and letting it shine!
