lilac knitted one-piece sweater

First autumn day and I am in the mood to knit. Do you recognize this behavior?

I found some soft lilac yarn at Zeeman, named Julia and I decided to knit a new one-piece sweater.

It goes pretty fast with knitting needle 8mm and it's super easy to knit this one-piece sweater.

My new favorite color is lilac. It started with my lilac jumpsuit that I bought in Vienna in March. Since then I notice that it is slowly becoming my favorite color. Lilac looks great with many colors.

You can find the knitted one-piece sweater pattern in my Etsy shop. The Julia yarn is also available in other beautiful colors, in case you are not to keen about lilac. You need about 6 balls of Julia yarn for the sweater.

The former wool cupboard was stored in the attic for years, to finally be reused in my new workspace.

The old grey sorting cupboard on my desk is currently filled with black and white yarn for an 'unusual' b & w project.

I'm working on a black & white version of my well known colorful baby blanket (design anno 2010).
