Lady Mademoiselle Dandelion

Pattern: Lady Mademoiselle Dandelion by Along avec Anna (Ravelry link here)
Yarn: Bergère de France; coton fitfy, col ficelle (almost 8 balls, 400g)
3mm needles (3,5mm to cast on)

Mods:
fitted version, V neck, different raglan line (because I didn't have the pattern with me when I started the raglan decreases and I couldn't face undoing it!)

It's a fantastic basic pattern for a fingering ranglan cardi. Very easy to customize by changing the neckline, stitch pattern, length and fit. 

I'm not keen on bottom up constructions but it was necessary with the dandelion stitch. 

I've already got another version on the needles... it should be finished soon!

Lucky (me) - Really

Pattern : Lucky (me) by Solenn Couix-Loarer (Ravelry link here)

Yarn: Drops Lima  (wool-alpaca mix) shade 701 Petrol (the colour is so difficult to photograph properly...)    x10 balls

I LOOOOVE thit pattern. The fit is amazing (waist shaping and slightly wider hips: dream come true for a pear shape body!).

Mods: a bit shorter, more fitted sleeves, K2P2 ribbing on the neckband (I did try the rolled edge but I didn't like the result so BO in pattern on the wrong side for a neat finish)

A few extra pics

 

More Winter Than Primavera

Pattern: Primavera by Sarah Cooke (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Cascade 220 Fingering, Castor Grey, 200g
Needles: 3mm (ribbing) and 3.5mm
Mods: jumped between sizes for fit, no pockets and slightly shorter sleeves.

I will definitely do this pattern again (maybe a different lace motif on the sleeves?). Fit from the bust down is spot on but I could get a better fit on the yoke. It was my first garment with fingering weight, I thought it would take forever and be soooo boring but it was great to catch up on podcasts and binge-watch Netflix. I was also quite anxious to handwash it (I didn't swatch... shhh, don't tell the knitting police!) but it was fine. I hope the wool wears well...
I can't wait to wear it to work!

Neverending Cardigan - Lucky (me)

I started this cardigan when I was pregnant with E... (he is 2 1/2!) I left it, picked it up, left it again, picked up to rip what I had done months before... I almost gave it away unfinished to a knitting friend just to be rid of it... But sometimes you just need to stop whining and get on with your knitting.

Pattern: Lucky (me) by Solenn Couix-Loarer, PDF pattern available to buy on Ravelry here
Aran blend
4,5mm needles, 4mm for the collar and the cuffs

I lengthened it considerably and changed the back to have several smaller cables instead of a large central panel.
It's a great pattern and I will probably knit the original (hip length) version at some point.
