Hey everyone and welcome to my Spring knitting queue! Every season I come up with a bit of a Wishlist of projects I would like to make during that given season. I don’t share it on here usually, but I thought it would be fun to share and see what every one else is planning for Spring whether that be knitting, crochet, or reading. I would love to know! Anyway, here are the four items I would love to make over the coming season.
This first project I have actually already started, but did not get to far into it because I joined a test knit and needed to put it to the side. Anyway the project is called Brienne (Ravelry Link) by Brienne Moody. I am actually already almost done with the first sleeve so it is off to a good start! I am hoping to finish this first out of all the items on my list because I think it would be perfect for Spring nights and early mornings as a nice little sweater running to and from the car. For this I actually got the recommended yarn, which I don’t do very often, in the colors of the tan and pink sample.
This next pattern is called Hazel Kjole (Ravelry Link) by Sandnes Design, I have had the yarn for this since January 2023 and have had the yarn since then as well. I really would love to finally get this yarn out of my stash and this lovely easy going dress in my wardrobe. I have made a dress in the past as a test knit that I love, but is more formal, this would be a fun relaxed one with longer sleeves to also help in the cool mornings and evenings. I picked up the recommended yarn for this pattern since I needed to buy the yarn to get the pattern book. I do love the yarn though it is a really fluffy alpaca nylon blend.
The next two patterns are more of a two for one. They are the Flutter Buttshirt and Flutter Buttshorts (Ravelry Link) by Jessie Maed Designs. While these are two different patterns, they make a really cute set to wear around the house. I don’t have air conditining so staying cool around the house is a bit difficult. My current lounge wear is mostly sweat pants and long sleeve shirts so making these will really fill a need. I already have the yarn for this project, I ended up getting undine by Ritual Dyes in a really vibrant fuchsia color called Drago fruit I believe.
All of these projects I have the patterns and yarns ready to go, I just need to get the few projects off my needles and be on my way. I recently started a new method of managing my WIPs called the Gideon Method, which you can read more about in my post called, Trying the Gideon Method to Manage My WIPs. So, I feel like this will really help me dedicate the time needed for these larger projects, but also allow me to move though different projects so I am enjoying myself as well. Anyway, that is my knitting queue for the Spring Season, I hope you enjoy a little peak into my project planning! What are you planning to make or read this season?
