Here are the patterns and the yarns we recommend in today's live:
Four Points Vest by Lindsay Degen
Built like a quilt, with little mitred squares pieced into bigger blocks and set into the body. A really fun one if you love a project with lots of small wins along the way.
Knitting For Olive Heavy Merino
Bramble & Fleece Sheepsoft Aran
Naomi Bow Bonnet by Maria Schei Mogenstad
A moss stitch hood with a keyhole scarf and bow attached, so no more cold necks this winter.
Knitting For Olive Merino held with Knitting For Olive Soft Silk Mohair
Laine x Novita 4ply held with any lace weight silk mohair
Wool Decanted Vintage 23 4ply held with any lace weight silk mohair
VesterbyCrea No 52 Cardigan by Thea Vesterby
A seamless top down cardigan in a half brioche cable pattern with saddle shoulders. You can finish it with buttons or a zip.
Bramble & Fleece Sheepsoft DK or Wooltrace DK
Hooded Shawl Vest by zzaim knitting
Two pieces in one. Wear it as a hooded vest or wrap it round your shoulders as a shawl.
Birds and Branches by Wollmuschi
A fully charted stranded colourwork sweater with different motifs on the front and back. One for the colourwork lovers!
Nola Slipover by Svetlana Volkova
A quick, cosy top down slipover knitted with the yarn held double on big needles.
Camarose Snefnug held double
Orbella by Linnea Ornstein
Something a little different to finish! Orbella is a knitted lampshade made of colourful garter stitch ovals that turns a plain glass lamp into a real statement piece.

Happy Knitting and I hope this has inspired you for your next project!
