I’m not saying it’s the most important reason for swatching. But I am saying that I keep finding reason for why swatches are awesome.

I ran out of leftover yarn on my current project, so I searched through my swatches and found one that uses the same yarn. I’ll unravel this beautiful swatch for the Brioche Tiles shawl and use the yarn for my current WIP.
I may have lost yarn chicken, but I had a swatch to save me!

I even have a second swatch with the same stitch pattern and yarn, so I definitely can spare this one.

More Double Brioche on my needles!

I’m knitting a second sample of a new mini scarf design to take tutorial photos and videos.

A new design on my knitting needles 💚🩷

If you’ve ever joined one of my Brioche textures classes, you’ve heard about the magical combination of Honeycomb Brioche and fluffy yarn (and seen the sorry excuse for a swatch I had accidentally mostly frogged).

Can’t wait to share more of this project with you!

First try-on of my Brioche cardigan WIP.
It went for an interim bath and block afterwards, so I can better see if things work out as imagined.

My first time knitting roomy sleeves has me questioning my choices… 🤨

Getting a little sappy with this part 2 to yesterday’s #OOTD reel.

Why I love this outfit, despite my round belly showing.

#SOSUknits #knitwear #wearyourknits #selflove
Colorful, fun, comfy.
The three most important qualities of any outfit for me.

My #knitOOTD for running errands:
🧶 Winter Grid Sweater
🧶 Base Camp Cowl
🧶 Synced Scarflet
🧶 mum jeans
🧶 a striped t-shirt that reminds me of my grandma

You can find all the knitting patterns on Ravelry, Payhip and on my website sosuknits.com.

(Sappy Part 2 coming soon.)

Let’s take a knitting break together!
But first, coffee.

🧶 Wearing the Ginny Cardigan and Base Camp Cowl.
🧶 Knitting a new Brioche cardigan design.

My #OOTD for this surprisingly warm Tuesday features my Waffle Tee, blue jeans, a pink/brown corduroy leopard print jacket and a fluffy Base Camp Cowl as a color pop.

I totally love this color combination! 🩷

And to everyone who thinks you can’t wear short sleeves shirts in winter/autumn: it’s all about layering!

While I usually wear my hand-knits as the focus of my outfit, or as an accessory, you can also wear it as a base layer. The knit tee peeking out underneath this jacket really elevates the look, I think.

If you want to knit your own, you can find the patterns for the Waffle Tee and Base Camp Cowl on Ravelry and Payhip. Direct links are in my Stories.

This is the #GoodThingsShawl by sosuknits — and it really is full of good things! 💖
I used the Neon Advent set from frida_fuchs_yarns , and I’m in love with how bold and bright it turned out 🌈💥

The alternating sections of merino singles and alpaca silk give it a gorgeous contrast in finish — smooth, soft, and silky all the way through. Light but luxurious!

Can’t get enough of these colours 😍
