Þingborg's Lopi Sweater
In this post I mentioned that I was knitting my first sweater with lopi from Þingborg. I finished it a while ago and am soooo happy with it. I used a single strand which is always a little stressful since it seems to be so weak while knitting. In this case it was extremely so. The black Þingborg's lopi is very, very delicate and I was afraid the whole time that this sweater would never make it more than a month. But fortunately I was wrong. I'm still using it and absolutely love the warmth and softness.

Still Light Tunic
I finished this tunic last winter/spring ... just always forgot to brag about it ;)
It's a design by Veera Välimäki, knitted with Drops alpaca. It took me quite some time to finish but I love the results, it's so soft and cozy.

Two Lopi vests
I just finished these vests made with Létt Lopi and Evilla preyarn. I just love ... no LOVE yarn that changes colors gradually.
Both vests are for sale in my Etsy store if you are interested ;)
