Women's Colorwork Sweater Novita Knits. I finished my arm hole decreases now just knitting up to the neck. 🧶

This Classic Icelander is about to take a bath. I'm excited to see the final fit.

This is the second time I've closed the heart, but it is the longest (25ish rows) I've had to dip down. I'm quickly on my way again, so it didn't take too long to fix. 🧶

A close up of stockinette knitting in blue with golden brown hearts. One heart shows a mistake in the open top of the heart. A close up of stockinette knitting on the needles, the knit has been adjusted so that a stitch has been dropped in order to fix a mistake.

Pre-block on my Halsa Neckwarmer, or if you are from my generation we might call this a "dickie." I realized I do not have enough fun and warm winter wear, so I did a quick chunky knit to wear under a coat. 🧶

A handknit bib, 2 short front and back panels with a collar, in multicolored yarn. The collar is done as a turtleneck. The yarn colors are warm and cool tones blues, greens, and oranges.

My current WIPs are my two Classic Icelanders on the far left. In the middle I have a Halsa Neck warmer started. The heart patterned sleeve is Women's Colorwork and at the right end, the Waterrock Vest. 🧶

Five partially handknit projects are in a vertical line up from left to right. Two sweaters with a diamond weave pattern are on the left, the first one blue and grey and the second is purple and cream. A small ribbed strip in the middle in a dark multicolored red and green. A sleeve is second from the right in a heart shaped pattern of blue and gold. A ribbed vest is on the far left end in a bright blue.

Just got my 2nd Classic Icelander off the needles. I'll weave in my ends, sew down the collar, and then try it on before it gets blocked. Exciting! 🧶

I am trying out a chunky vest. I was between the sizing M and L. The two sizes have the same neck stitch count. It's much too big so I frogged it. I'm trying out the S and adding increases to the yoke if needed. Ravelry link to pattern in the comments. 🧶

I am just about to start the front neck shaping and then it will be on to the collar. I almost have my second Classic Icelander complete!

A purple and cream hand knit sweater still on circular needles. A diamond shaped pattern fills the body and sleeves. A double cream stripe cuts through the middle of two by two rubbing in the cuffs and hem. No collar as this portion of the knit is still on the needles.
