Liesl
Liesl by Ysolda
I started another garment. I am struck on my Ravelry profile how many hats, scarves and socks I have knitted, and how few garments. So I felt I needed to boost the garments. As you might remember, I am knitting an Apres Surf Hoodie, but it is 4 ply and won't be a speedy knit. I therefore started Liesl in Colinette Giotto (unknown colourway as this was a bargain bin purchase, having failed the Colinette quality control colour test, from the factory in Wales). This is a speedy knit. I am knitting mine on a 6.5mm circular to get gauge. It is nice to be knitting this pattern as I bought it from Ysolda recently. I like knitting top down garments, and as it is knitted in one piece, there is minimal finishing. I think this will be a nice autumnal cardie to wear, as the colours are quite autumnal. I will resume the hoodie once this is done I think.

I think that I am keen to get this one under my belt as I am still getting tired and my energy and concentration levels are still not back to normal after the chest infection that has been inhabiting my body for the past month. Feather and fan is easy and the cardie is growing quickly. Once I am more myself, I think the 4 ply hoodie will seem less daunting than it does at the moment.
Edited to add: I am knitting a longer version with sleeves.

I love how it's looking in that yarn! I made a summery Liesl, which I love and have worn loads, but I hadn't really thought about making an autumn version too. Thanks for the inspiration!
