Oolong knits

I have been following Paula Pereira's designs for a long time, but it was her latest book, Textured Knits , that made me a big fan. Such beautiful patterns! It is impossible to choose a favourite. Lygia is the least popular pattern in the book and I still love it.

Artus by Natasja Hornby has just been published and I had to run and add it here. That is how much I like it. So tempted to knit it...

Ilha by Orlane Sucche is one of my most favourite designs. I have been drooling over it for some time and there is a single reason why I haven't yet bought and knitted this pattern: I don't have the yarn for it and I'm still trying to destash. So, don't be at all surprised if my future post on finished projects of 2023 includes this beautiful sweater.

RAUWERK TREES is a boxy sweater that uses simple twisted-stitch cables for a casual but still elegant result. A favourite of mine, like all Katrin Schneider designs

Marie Amelie is a sadly missed French designer. She has unfortunately quit designing in 2021 and since then all her patterns are available for free. Esterel is a beautiful boxy pullover in brioche stitch. Her other designs are also well worth your attention. They all have the quality associated with French design.

Irina Anikeeva is a Russian designer that creates beautifully intricate lace and cables designs. The Aviara Pullover uses twisted stitch cables to obtain an impressive effect. I highly recommend her other patterns too. They are truly stunning.
