WIP Wednesday - December Edition

I haven't made one of these in MONTHS, so in order not to make it insanely long, I'll limit myself to the projects I'm the most excited about having finished / working on.

Stripy Top I found the most amazingly soft yarn while away with work for a few days, and decided I had to have it. The design is heavily inspired by a few other tops I have, that I know fit me well. I loved making it, and finished in less than a month :-D
Gaia I had some gorgeous yarn languishing in an unloved (and thus unlikely to be finished) WIP, and had been looking around for something else to use it for. I randomly came across the pattern for this in my ravelry highlights one day, and knew the yarn would be perfect for it. It's great for work when the AC gets a tad too much. I do wish it had been slightly bigger, but not enough that I feel the need to redo it.
Ida's Genser Made for a friend of mine. Knit with much bulkier yarn than I usually use, which did hurt my hands a bit, but I loved how quickly it knit up, and am quite happy with the finished result. Fortunately my friend was too :-D
Perseverance MKAL Finally finished this yesterday!!! REALLY happy with how it turned out. I still need to block it, so it's not finished-finished-finished, but I greatly enjoyed snuggling under it this morning!
And finally, the project I'm currently working on... Maisie Sweater I'd forgotten how MUCH I love working with Malabrigo Arroyo! The yarn's expensive, but worth every penny! I've had this in my stash for ages, but finally decided to do something with it, and the Maisie Sweater was in my library, beginning to be knit. It was the perfect match, and I absolutely adore it. Can't wait for this to be done :-D
