autumn knitting plans ~ cables and stripes for sweater weather | pages & purls

[@sara.gardinier]

Definitely use a color catcher sheet with that green yarn, they work great! And I’m partial to the darker purple for the stripe hype, the lavender feels more springy!

[@pagesandpurls]

@@sara.gardinier thanks for your input, I’ve never used colour catcher sheets before ! And thanks for helping me choose - I agree the darker purple fits more with the season

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

i like the taupe-y brown for the stripe combo. i love your mood board!

[@pagesandpurls]

@@lavendercottagefibrearts I think the taupe brown is winning unanimously!! Thank you for helping me choose :)

[@mary-loucrosland5685]

Diffinately the brownish colour is perfect I think the lavender purple is to light

[@pagesandpurls]

@@mary-loucrosland5685 I think the darker purple is clearly winning :) but I agree the lavender feels too spring like. Thanks for helping me choose !

[@sarahs.handmakes]

Such good plans! I’d go with the John Arbon yarn. I think that’s a great palate. I’m also planning on making the stripe hype this fall! It would be fun to make them together 😊 and the crescent moon tearoom book sounds so good- thanks for the recommendation!

[@pagesandpurls]

Thanks for helping me choose! And yes, that would be a lot of fun (: Your roundup of your leftovers for your stripe hype actually inspired me to go stash diving 💛

[@sarahs.handmakes]

@@pagesandpurls ah I’m so happy to hear that!! I’ll text you when I’m ready to cast mine on /vice versa and we can see if the timing aligns!

[@pagesandpurls]

@@sarahs.handmakes sounds good !! I need to order my yarn for it asap (:

[@ajborthwick7239]

I’d go with the John arbon for your stripe hype

[@pagesandpurls]

I think the darker purple brown from John Arbon is the clear winner. Thank you for helping me choose!

[@MissBookiverse]

Ooooh, der Streifenpulli wird aber hübsch werden mit den leftover Farben, die sehen schon so toll zusammen aus (und ich bin für die dunklere letzte Farbe 😅)

[@pagesandpurls]

Ich glaube die dunklere Farbe ist bisher auch mein Favorit :D Freue mich schon richtig auf die Streifen (:

[@baumwolke2078]

Brownish purple for the stripped shirt ❤

[@pagesandpurls]

Thank you for your help!!

[@madisonmonteze]

i'm so excited for alllll of your plans!!! omg! especially the weekend hat. that's gonna be gorg in that LBA yarn!

[@pagesandpurls]

Yes, me too -- can't wait to see how it works up! I'm cabling away with the rainy day tee atm and it's so much fun 💛

[@sophiekh3334]

I loved the last combination for the stripe hype sweater! 😊 and I’m currently working on a Benno hat by Paula Strick for fall season 😊 She also has this cool ribbed mitten pattern which I have been thinking about.

[@pagesandpurls]

I wasn't aware of the Benno hat but it looks like a really cute pattern -- and the mittens too, I'll put them on my list. Thanks for helping with picking the colours for the stripe hype!!

[@carolb8073]

If your minis were big enough, you could use the in the Stripe Hype sweater .

[@pagesandpurls]

@@carolb8073 that’s what I was thinking too, but I don’t have enough yardage of those for the stripe hype unfortunately

[@carolb8073]

My want list to knit is long and I don’t know where to start lol. I’m currently knitting my daughter a Turtle Dove cardigan in a brownish red with 2 strands of mohair in the same color.

[@pagesandpurls]

@@carolb8073 I totally feel you on not knowing where to start ! But the turtle dove cardigan looks lovely, and brownish red sounds so cozy :)

[@TheSolipsist0]

How does the fivel feel? I‘m looking for something warm and slightly rustic to make a jacket type of cardigan as a midlayer between my weatherproof jacket and my knitwear. 😅

[@pagesandpurls]

@@TheSolipsist0 I’d say the Fivel is definitely more on the sheepy / woolly side , not super soft but a bit rustic and quite lofty. My blocked swatch softened a little bit but it still feels sturdy enough if that makes any sense (and not like it’s gonna pill a ton ). Can’t say anything about the warmth just yet though
