Oh, Marius!

 Soooooo...I know we are going into summer soon here in North America, but guys, I just finished knitting a piece I am really quite proud of.

Felt like I was knitting this for forever, but I started this April 17th so it's actually not too bad. It had, however, a lot of steps like steeking (cutting up your knitting for an opening) and sewing in facings which are really quite tedious, but hey....it's done! Anyhoo, here is my Marius cardigan.

The Marius cardigan is quite an iconic piece in Norwegian knitting.

My newly knitted Marius cardigan out in public:D


The details:


I used the pattern from the Norwegian yarn company Sandnes Garn (the yarn I actually used), which you can buy here.

Me sewing in the facing for one of the sleeves...


And here are videos of me steeking (First video is me sewing in the front of the cardigan before cutting it up so that it doesn't fray. Second video is me actually cutting up the front. You do these for the sleeves opening as well.)



PS I made a Marius pullover for my daughter in 2019. I really love knitting this:D

Oh my gosh! What an intricate and detailed design. You are SO talented. This turned out beautifully and I can't believe you were able to complete it in such a short timeframe. You are amazing! Luckily, the temperatures haven't been too warm lately, so hopefully you will have an opportunity to wear that incredible sweater a few more times this season.

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders. Waiting For Rain shawl by Sylvia McFadden, worn with my old Rainbow Bar&Grill shirt and UNIQLO pants In progress: Blocking:
