As always they have such nice free pattern. I think I like the slouchy one and the Lis shirt :-)

Oh, very interesting, @neumannsalva, both make use of linen. Do you have that sort of yarn in your stash?
I've never used linen but I reckon that sort of yarn would give it the right drape for the pattern :D
Incidentally, today I learnt that you can also do (dry / needle) felting with natural fibres like linen and cotton. !
My linen choice was chance not choice 😂 I simply liked the fit of these designs. I up today have never used linen yarn and sadly also have none in my stash. It is very seldom here, mostly from Japanese companies and very expensive. (Now as I write it, no idea why the German companies seldom use it...)
And with the felting, I have no idea of the raw linen product (isn‘t it nettle?) for felting. Do you make it yourself? I think I am still a felting dummie 😱
