Carradal ...

... a shawl.

A wonderful shawl with all things Melly loves: cables and stockinette and pink ;-)

Another testknit for Lucy Hague ... I really adore her patterns!

I used Regia Harmony Color for the body of the shawl and Regia Uni/ Solid for the cabled egde.

I wanted to use a different colour for the border at first, but it was thinner than the Regia, so I didn’t use it.
Customization: Every time the “pinkish” shades of the yarn appeared I alternated the balls of yarn A and B as said in pattern (but only then).

Hey Jud-issa ...

... Julissa-Sweater for my daughter C.J.
The working name "Hey Jud-issa" is a merge of the pattern-name Julissa and the second name of my daughter Judene.

Pattern was a gift from Bianca, a dear Ravelry-friend  :-D

Modifications:
after Raglan-shaping I closed to round, but didn’t put the arms on waste-yarn …
I worked about 10 rounds with arms in the round.
Body: longer
Arms: shorter
ribbing (arms and neckline): k1tbl, p1
I also listened to other knitters and picked up more sts than stated for the arms … the arms are still on the tighter side, but they are okay now (with 8 sts more)

Happy ...

.... New Year 2014!

Sing and clap along, if you feel happy! (and if you don't, you surely will after watching the vid)
