Madame Kalash

Hyperfocused a bit. Crochet still hurts my arm in a way knitting does not, so I'll have to pause this shawl for a bit to recover. #knitsky #crochetsky

Finally! Biathlon season!

Very true. Come to think about it, I can't remember the last time I was in a bank though. 😄

Next item from A Knitters Guide to World War 1 is this almond colored balaclava. Gonna test it out under the bike helmet soon! #knitsky #knittingyesterday

This weekend I started and finished this sleeping cap from the book Knitters Guide to World War 1. I'm very pleased. It worked up fast, was fun to knit. Will definitely knit more of these. #knitsky #knittingyesterday

Haha yes!

#showmeyourknits FLOOF scarf for my kiddo #knitsky

That is amazing! I... admit I have bought a lot of old knitting magazines from the 40's and 50's too, but I have yet to make anything from them!

Thank you so much! 🥹

I made panels in the sides now, and it fits a lot better!

I am totally doing that balaclava, perfect for winter biking, wearing under my helmet!

What vintage knitting patterns do you have? Curious to see! 😍

I am currently knitting this one!

Definitely the nerdiest thing I bought in a long time. I wanna knit so many of the patterns in this book! #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

I love my binder ❤️

I kind of knew it would be like this, so the next one I'm gonna do mathy-math. And my Knitting WW1-book arrived today! 😍

And here it is, laying flat

The ww1 vest is done!!! It's... too small, even blocked and with me wearing a binder. 😅 I might give it away to someone smallest than me. Pics as follow: the original picture and pattern, me in binder and then wearing it as a period vest with a skirt. #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

Yes! Soo big!

I am currently blocking the vest! Stay tuned! 😄

Made some sailor slippers for a friend. Before and after felting. #knitsky #sailorslippers

Yes me too. Sadly no gauge information in the pattern either.

Knowing strangers on the internet cares about this weird project makes me movitated to finish it! ❤️

That gives me hope!

That is my hope too!

Me too! Maybe I'll add panels on the sides if I won't frog.

Update on my ww1 vest for soldiers. It is starting to look like the picture, but it is also very... small? The pattern calls for fingering yarn but I went up a size. Still it looks like it's made for a child. I will finish it and then decide if I'm gonna frog. #knitsky #historicalpatterns

Lovely!

Update: I have tested Lina's sweater outside. It is warm, can deal with wind and even a light drizzle. Not so sure about trick-or-treaters though. #knitsky

This sweater is freehanded and put together will hope, sweat and tears. It's it perfect? No. It's it warm? Very. It is named Lina's sweater after my roleplaying character that wears a sweater just like this when the nights are cold. Yarn: Alafosslopi from Istex
Pattern:None
