Hvide and Everglade
So here is my newest addition to my knitting wardrobe.
On the last weekend of october I had the pleasure to attend a Knit-a-long workshop with Anke from ankestrick at my local yarn store Atelyeah. I cast on her new design Hvide with the lovely Chickadee yarn from Quince & Co. I chose my favourite colour purple and loved both the feel of the yarn while knitting and the seamless construction of the sweater.
I especially loved the construction of the v-neck and the very smooth and elegant edging. 
It took me a little while to get into the rhythm of the short rows for the saddle shoulders but it was well worth it. Next time I might want to shorten the v-neck a bit as it is a little deeper than I like to wear it. I'll probably wear a top underneath just as in the picture.
The hem in garter stitch with a nighty degree twist was news to me and I'm utterly in love with it. The little extra curve at the bottom hem makes it even more lovely.
This sweater was an absolute joy to knit and one of my favourite projects so far.
But it was not the only project on my needles in November. I also knitted with Jetztkochtsieauchnoch,feinmotorik.blogspot and feierabendfrickeleien again. This time they hosted a hat KAL and I knitted the Evergladeshat by Wolly Wormhead for my sister. She picked the yarn herself when we were on holiday in September and just in time I before the temperature drop in november I was able to surprise her with the finished hat in her mailbox.
More details on yarn and usage as well as mor pictures can be found on the project pages of my Purple Hvide and Everglade of Ahrtal
I hope you all have a lovely cozy holiday season, merry christmas and a happy new year.
Have a lovely time
All my love💞

You do beautiful work! All your stitching is so even and the hat is so delicate. I love the colours you used. Thanks for the warm wishes. I hope you have a merry christmas and a happy new year too!
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I think my secret for even stitches are the wooden needles I use. It's not that even when I use metal ones. Merry christmas
Your work is so neatly distributed! Lovely sweater and color choice! I love the beautiful designs in the hat as well as the color! Very nice work as always~ I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well. Upped and Steemed! 😊
Thank you so much. Knitting keeps me sane. I love to feel the yarn and see the projects growing. And a little bit of colour never harmed anyone in a grey cold winter😉
Der Pulli und besonders die Farbe ist toll, aber ich bin begeistert von der Mütze!!!! Das Lace-Muster ist so schön, wirklich toll. Ich bin zwar eifrig am stricken (statt häkeln) aber an Lace Muster, auch die einfachsten, traue ich mich immer noch nicht ran. Freue mich aber diese tollen Dinge bei dir zu sehen.
Danke für die lieben Worte. Glaub mir dieses Muster sieht viel komplizierter aus als es ist. Und ich mag das sehr dass Lace manchmal auch so einfach sein kann. Trau dich ruhig. Auf Ravelry gibt's auch immer jemanden der hilft wenn es hakt.☺
Ich befürchte ich bin (noch) zu feige... Ich versuche mich gerade mit einem einfachen stranded colourwork (wie auch immer das auf deutsch heißt) Muster. Ich hoffe es klappt :-D
