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.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

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.)
