… ready for spring …

It has been a long time ago I posted something here.

Spring is finally peeping around the corner after this very cold and snowy winter. And my poppy tunic is ready. I’m so happy with it. It is perfect for this time of the year.

Maybe you remember the Holst Garn in those beautiful red colors of a preview post here

Just couldn’t help thinking of flowers in a field, poppy’s …

Papaver is a tunic worked top down, in the round with a circular yoke. The flowers are worked as intarsia color blocks, but the main color is stranded all the way.

I made it with a large pocket with a lining in contrasting colors and added some flowered elbow patches.

… warm colors of autumn …

How I love the changing seasons. The trees are turning in a warm yellow, orange and red…
The soil in the garden is covered with a nice, thick carpet
And I feel inspired …

Some Malabrigo worsted (garnet colorway) Very hard to take a nice pic of this color.

And some Holst garn ‘supersoft’ in beautiful red shades

This yarn feels a bit rough, but it seems it will get supersoft (ha, that’s the name of this yarn 😉 after washing, let’s wait and see … I hope it gets a bit thicker also, because it’s very thin and light.

Couldn’t wait to get started … These lovely colors make me think of poppy’s, flowers in a field. We will see how this turns out, I certainly have enough to make a something tunic-like  (I have 4 50gr skeins of the main color, that’s about 1150m) and I definitely want pockets …
