It is getting hot and muggy outside. I’ve been working in the yard a lot and enjoying spring. Now it is heating up and I’m doing more knitting inside. Going through some of my stash I found some  hand dyed yarn (my own, I’ll link here the blog post about it). I’ve been trying to knit my stash down so the search for a pattern started. After spending quite a bit of time on Ravelry and Pinterest looking at.options, and finding lots of patterns I would like to make. I started a Sweater then frogged it and finally settled on this simple over sized pattern. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mammas-hjemmestrikkede-genser-skappelgenseren

Written by Dorthe Skappel it is the Mammas hjemmestrikkede genser. It is a super easy garter stitch oversized sweater. Taking a look at all of the knitters that had completed it (almost 900 when I looked at it) I saw that it flattered a wide selection of body shapes and ages. From toddlers and up. I feel in love and cast on.


It went so well I decided to try and knit this in 7 days! I had done a Berroco LopiKAL and finished that in 6 weeks. Just found another KAL the beekeeper, which is a 4 day sweater challenge that I’m going to participate in. So hey 7 days sounded like a long time.
If you want to join me I’m going to be posting pics #7Daysweater on Instagram. let me know ! @knittingdragonflies
May your needles fly as fast as dragonflies……
