Jan makes

I was hoping to finish three tops in January and I ended up finishing two and knitting two pairs of socks instead. Absolutely hyped though with what I got done.

The cardigan is the Cocoknits Sarah cardigan in bright blue Retrosaria Mungo yarn. It turned out so wearable! I love the fit and the color. (These are my jeans, I am 5'3" so they are not nearly as cropped on me. And these are my Keds.)

The sweatshirt is the Grainline Studio Linden made from this fleece for the main fabric and this rib for the collar, cuffs and hem. I would definitely recommend this fabric. Great colors and so soft. After much debate, I ended up stitching JOY (my 2021 One Little Word) along the neckline in quilting thread and I love it.

And the socks are two different (but very similar!) patterns. First the orange pair which I made from my first Farmer's Daughter Fibers Sock Squad package. I used the Wiksten sock pattern from the book Made By Hand. The second pair was my first experience knitting with the magic loop method and I used the free I'm So Basic Sock pattern by Summer Lee. The yarn for these is Lion Brand Mani-Pedi that I have had stashed for months.

I am currently thinking about February makes and will be back soon with my goals.
