Yes, I admit it!
I abandoned sleeve island on Saturday (shortly after posting about it, actually 🫣) to give the body of my Gridlines WIP a good block to check the fit before continuing. It took forever to dry, but I’m almost finished with the first sleeve now. There’s just the cuff in twisted ribbing left to go. 🎉 (and the second sleeve, but it goes honestly so fast with 5 mm needles, I don’t even mind)
My worries were all unfounded, and it turned out exactly as I’d hoped. Yay!
I also unraveled the collar seam as it either needs to be longer for the folded collar to lie flat or shorter for a single layer. What do you think? Are team folded collar or is it not your thing?
🧶 Still absolutely in love with my yarn choice! Gilliatt and Berenice by @dererumnatura are the stuff my warm fluffy sweater dreams are made if! 🥰

Here’s how to seam horizontal to vertical Mattress Stitch in Garter stitch, shown on the pocket of the Baseline Cardigan:
1) Insert the upwards through the upper loop of the Garter stitch on the horizontal panel.
2) Insert the needle upwards through both legs of the knit stitch (makes a little “v”) on the vertical panel.
Repeat these two steps, making sure you stay in the same row on both sides for a straight seam.
Then pull on the yarn to close the seam.
For this pocket, I like to start on the lower corner of the pocket side that’s closest to the opening of the card and work upwards, then I go back to that same corner to work the lower seam and then go upwards again on the other pocket side.
While horizontal to vertical seam are a bit more rare, Mattress Strich is a great little technique to have in your knitting tool kit.

One of my favorites knitting techniques is a graft.
It takes a little to memorize the rhythm, as it varies from stitch pattern to stitch pattern, but Garter stitch - as it does so often - makes things easy for us. It’s the same two steps on both the front and back needle.
I posted a reel with all the steps not too long ago (you’ll find it in my Reels feed), so this is really just an appreciation post for the fact that grafts let us imitate the way yarn travels when we knit, creating an invisible “seam”.
This technique is used in the Baseline Cardigan and Sweater to close the sides, but can be substituted with a 3-needle bind-off. I highly recommend giving this one a go, though.
It’s a great technique to have in your knitting tool box!

A new episode of the Knitting Twinings podcast is live! Emily and I both fell in love with the Baseline cardigan by sosuknits and a few of our viewers said they would love to join a KAL with us! So, on December 2, we will be casting on the Baseline cardigan with you.
If you want to join us, please do! This is a relaxed kal, we don’t have an end date and just want to knit this beautiful project with you all. We will do a special cast-on episode, maybe live on YouTube? If we can figure it out…

I love the squishy texture of brioche. #sosuknits #frequencyshawl #briocheknitting #lichenandlace #sassystringsyarn #louiserobertyarns #knitting
Draußen ist herrlicher Sonnenschein, schön kalt und windstill. Ich hüte das Sofa mit einer Ohrspeicheldrüsenentzündung. Nicht nett. Da gibt es nur einen Trost: Stricken. Neben den Projekten die ich mit Dagmar Fresenius von Mährle mache, muss ich ab und zu auch mal etwas ganz selbstsüchtig für mich stricken. Die Baseline Cardigen von Susanne Sommer hat es mir angetan. So viele Größen und Variationsmöglichkeiten! Ich habe mich für unifarben mit der wunderschönen Corrie confetti von la bien aimee entschieden. Ich liebe die bunten Wollschnipsel in dem Garn. Die Bündchen und die Tasche werden in in knalligen Farben sein. Hier Fiffi und Remmidemmi von Frida Fuchs.
Strickt Ihr eher für andere oder auch für Euch selbst?

Ce soir je vous présente la #travelmodebabyblanket de sosuknits que j`ai terminée pour bébé !
Elle est immense (pour un bébé 😉) et sera bien douillette 😋
La couverture Travel mode, c`est le même principe que les versions de châle : une structure géométrique, avec un tricot super astucieux. Les sections sont plus longues que celles du châle mais globalement, le tricot monte vite.
Ici j`ai utilisé la Gilliat de De Rerum Natura en couleurs : Potimarron, Printemps, Doré, Caramel et Sel. Je trouve que les couleurs vont bien ensemble, qu`en pensez-vous ?
Voilà le gros projet que je voulais terminer à temps, et c`est chose faite ! Place aux tricots égoïstes maintenant 😅

Was macht man mit Garnresten?
Was mit Einzelsträngen, die von einem Projekt übrig geblieben sind oder die man sich irgendwann einmal wegen der schönen Färbung gekauft hatte und keine Idee, was damit machen?
Hier mein Tipp für alle, die zweifärbiges Patent mögen: strickt ein kuschelweiches Dreieckstuch damit!
Briochstrick wirkt plastischer, fluffiger und dadurch nochmal flauschiger, was es daher ideal für Accessoires für eisig kalte Wintertage macht ❄️☃️🌬️
sosuknits hat eine wunderschöne Anleitung geschrieben, leicht zu befolgen und perfekt um es individuell anzupassen- ob einfärbig, zweifärbig, gestreift, mit dünnerem oder dickerem Garn… schaut mal bei ihr vorbei!
Ich verstricke hier meine 100% Merino ultrafein (16 Micron) - damit trägt sich der Schal um Hals und Gesicht wie eine zärtliche Umarmung 🫶🏻
PS: und da der Schal recht flott gestrickt ist, eignet er sich als Weihnachtsgeschenk für eine liebe Person 🌟

There is no such thing as too many shawls. Largely because the concept of satiety is personal and for me there will never be enough shawls.
If you feel the same come join me getflockedknitting for a delightful and slow KAL (Knit A Long) for this shawl! I loved making my first Ewe Rock by sosuknits and cannot wait to start another in yarnfloozy Savant.
There is no need to rush through this pattern, but you may end up finishing before you think!
Come along and play in the wonderful world of Get Flocked, the other Flockers cannot wait to meet you.
I love you!
PS. This perfect vision of a shawl is in hedgehogfibres Insomnia, Danube, Comeback, Rosehip
