I always miss WIP Wednesdays, so here's my WIP Friday instead!

First my Coraline cardigan, which has actually progressed quite a lot since this photo. It just needs buttons now!

I'm making it with Novita Julia yarn, which is pretty much my staple yarn when it comes to bigger pieces of clothing - it's partly wool, partly acrylic and wears nicely.

Another month, another great designer! This month I am especially excited, as the designer I interviewed is one I look up to, as her designs are gorgeous and inspired, plus she seems to have so much knowledge on knitwear construction. I was very priviliged to get to "pick her brain"!

Behold, an FO! I haven't been knitting very much lately due to a change of role in my "real job", which requires a lot of time and learning, plus a general, temporary loss of interest in knitting (terrible, I know!)

That seems to be coming to an end soon though. Well, the job stress will last for a while, but the lust for knitting part is getting better. That can be seen in these two shawl FOs as well.

It's time for the second ever Worsted Knitt's pattern show!

Here I will present some of the newest, nicest knitting patterns on Ravelry. I will present patterns that are not in the Top 10, and even a bit underrated. This issue is all about sweaters! Take a look what I chose:

My favourite is the Montgolfier. Simple, yet interesting, with a decent size needle (I mean not too tiny) - and a fun photo, too!

It's been a week since I went to Bocholt with some new knitting friends of mine. Why did we go there? Well, we wanted to see the knitting exhibition (link in German) the textile museum has on at the moment, and we wanted to have a good time knitting in the train there and back.

I'm so excited to present to you this month's Designer here on worsted-knitt.net - someone I look up to as a blogger (due to her creative and fun friting style, helpful blog and participation in the blogging community to name a few), and who is now starting to really show her talent as a designer as well! Can you guess who I am talking about? Oh, right, it's mentioned in the title! So let's forget the drumroll and get on with the interview with Eskimimi!

I think it's time to publish my knitting goals for 2011. 2011 is the last year of my 101 in 1001 list, that means the knitting goals I have listed there must be finished this year. Therefore most of my goals will be from that list, but I also have a few new things, or goals set higher than in the 101 list. Let's take a look:

I was going through my year last weekend, and decided it would be nice to pull together my knitting highlights and the steps I've taken to build my site! So here it is: the best of Worsted Knitt in 2010!

Greetings from Finland! I spent my Christmas with my family at my Mum's and loved it. I like living abroad, but I do miss my family a lot, so being able to spend Christmas with them is always a very speial treat.

It's time for the December Designer of the Month presentation / interview! This time I have a great and very specialized designer to present to you: Clare Doornbos aka Natty Knits designs exclusively knitted toys.
