For several Christmases, I’d been thinking about knitting something special for the season, but I’ve never liked the idea of designing a garment that could only be worn for a few days, or those sweaters that have become fashionable lately and are often called “ugly” Christmas sweaters. I wanted something timeless, but with enough warmth and festive spirit to fit those special days of the year.

And that’s how Elara was born.

This time, I also wanted to do something different: not just create a pattern, but create a project that we could knit together.

Over 8 weeks, we’ll work our way through the sweater step by step, learning about lace, colorwork and design, and making small decisions along the way to adapt the garment to our own tastes.

The Knitting Adventure will be free and open to everyone, and the idea is that you can make use of any DK yarn you might already have at home.
