Grey Edge

Knitting

Happy Sunday! My trip is just one month away and though I have three more projects planned, I was crazy enough to cast on The Edge. It is really interesting how my knitter's brain works - as soon as I finish a design, I already have ideas what forms and colors it could take. It happened with almost all of my patterns, it is like I cannot get enough of them the first time around and crave to come back to play a little bit more with the design and sometimes this results in additional pattern files I add to the original version:Reindeer was knit in merino/silk and then recreated in cotton, because I was craving to see the stitch definition the cotton creates.La Flor took a completely different shape when knit in gorgeous mohair, which resulted in additional pattern file.The Choice also gives you two options to choose (pun intended :) ) from - cable or simple textured back.Heritage and Wheat sweaters found their new life in the pattern "cocktail" when both sweaters merged in one.And now The Edge. I love my dusty pink aran weight sweater that I was wearing all winter, but when planning my trip home, I knew I needed some neutral cozy loose sweater that I'll throw on with my black joggers and get on this 30+ hour journey. Well, The Edge fit perfectly - I was so craving to come back to these 3D cables that I love knitting so much!So, of course, I am adding some mods to it, seems like I can never knit something as it is without modifications. The sweater will be lighter, as the yarn is thinner compared to the original one and I am thinking of making it crop length... Well, hopefully it will be ready just in time and keep me cozy during the flight, because I always get so cold in the planes.
