This is the cleo top from rust knitwear. The design is simple, yet beautiful. I had my difficulties knitting the edges on the neck and armholes. I've knit each of them at least two times. The finishing on these edges was done with a crochet hook. This gave me the smoothest finish which did not create too much bulk.

I love this top, it hides the straps from all my bustiers well. The color is easy to incorporate into my wardrobe.

The yarn is the setacotone (hand dyed) from lana grossa and it is a beautiful cotton-silk mix. Sadly, it's discontinued.

This is a present I've knit for a wonderful friend. The mini shawl is a design published in the spring 2025 lovewool magazine. The knit is very easy and the little beads help counting the rows and alternating between increases / decreases and placing a purl.

The advised wool would have been a silk-mohair yarn, but I've used a nylon-alpaca cloud from Lang Yarns called . It is very airy, light and still warm. Perfect for those in-between days!
