cosy (me)

 
Outro casaco tricotado com um dos meus fios preferidos (novamente madelinetosh DK). Este modelo foi fácil e super rápido de tricotar (acabado em cerca de um mês), e fiquei agora com vontade de tricotar a versão criança para a S.

Another cardigan in one of my favorite  yarns (madelinetosh DK again). This pattern was easy and super quick to knit (finished in about a month), and I'm now planning to knit the child version for S.
Modelo / Pattern: cosy (me), by  Nadia Crétin-Léchenne
Fio / Yarn: Madelinetosh DK in Byzantine (4 skeins). Leftover yarn was just a tiny ball. 
Agulhas / Needles: 4 mmm
Tamanho / Size: S with smaller gauge
Ravelry project page
 
Changes made were very few: 
  • made an extra button hole
  • picked up 60 stitches on each armhole (because I used smaller needles), basically 3 out of every 4 rows

Final measurements after blocking were more like the XS size (32” chest)

pomme de pin

Um casaco que foi amor à primeira vista assim que o padrão foi publicado. E escolhi fazer em amarelo mostarda, uma cor de que cada vez gosto mais, principalmente nestes dias de inverno frios e chuvosos.
Optei por alterar a gola do padrão original, que apesar de ser bastante interessante achei que iria ser pouco prática.
 
A cardigan that was love at first sight as soon as the pattern was released. And I chose to knit a mustard yellow version, a color that has quickly become a favorite, especially during these cold and rainy winter days.
I changed the collar from the original pattern which despite being quite interesting wouldn't be so practical to wear.
 
Pattern / Padrão: Pomme de pin, by Amy Christoffers
Yarn / Fio: Madelinetosh DK in Nutmeg, 3.8 skeins (from Laine et Tricot)
Needles / Agulhas: 3.75 + 4.00 mm
Size / Tamanho: 39'' with some changes (see details on Ravelry project page)

Mathilde #1


Uma nova blusa feita antes do Natal, mas que só consegui fotografar agora. O padrão é o Mathilde, da Tilly and the Buttons, e gostei tanto que já tenho planos para uma nova versão. 
Adoro: as pregas pequenas à frente e os botões atrás. 
O que alterei: mangas compridas em vez de 3/4.

A new blouse that I made before Christmas but only had the time to photograph now. The pattern is Mathilde, from Tilly and the Buttons, and I like it so much I already have plans for another version.
What I loved: the front pleats and the buttons on the back
What I changed: long sleeves instead of 3/4
