  1. Well, that French yarn I showed you last time in that swatch for the geometric shawl: It inspired me for a new shawl! I worked out the patterning, it will have lace in both stockinette and reverse stockinette 😃

  2. Okay #knitters - how do you avoid getting wrist pain when doing relatively dense fabric + cables?

    I'm normally not too bad but I think this project will force me to take a break, even now on the plain knits and purls. I am now past the cables, but general advice would be appreciated

  3. # FlashbackThursday Mint Chocolate is a shallow triangular shawl knit sideways. There is just something about the combination of striped garter stitch, and lace that appeals to me! 😊

  4. I’ve reached the midway point! I’ve gotten a whopping 24 reps out of it. Technically, I can squeeze out another rep, but I didn’t weigh my yarn before CO, so this is the safest route 😃

  5. In this picture I've knit 20 repeats of the patterning. I think I can probably get another 4 repeats out of it, before I have to start decreasing for the second half of the scarf! 😃

  6. This scarf is also growing nicely. The ball of yarn is steadily getting smaller, so I grabbed my tiny scale, and started weighing my yarn 😃

  7. Here, you can see the patterning of Sering a bit more zoomed in. It’s lace, though, so it will need blocking to show it to its best advantage 😄

  8. With Sering, I’ve worked 12 repeats, I hope to get to about 22-24 before starting the decreases on the body stitches. Time to get my scale out 😃

  9. I've balled up my RMR Yarn Co. Harumi DK yarn. It's only the one ball, so I worked out a pattern for a skinny scarf of the type that seems to be quite the rage at the moment 😃

  10. #FlashbackThursday I knit Psychedelica in aran weight, but it works beautifully in other yarn weights too. The patterning looks complex, but if you've knit lace before, you can definitely knit this 😃

  11. I've washed this shawl, and put it on the blocking mats. Do you see how the lace has opened up? The pattern has been send out to my editor. So, now we wait for feedback. I'll keep you posted 😃

  12. #FlashbackThursday Sirac is one of those projects that can truly be adjusted to suit your preferences: Longer or shorter, wider or narrower. And I just love the cabled lace panel, framed by the garter stitch! 😃

  13. In London, we also stopped by John Lewis for yarn, among other things. Sadly, the department has gotten smaller. I did buy some and will share soon!

  14. #StashDivesaturday The last couple of days, I was in Antwerp with my mom. We did some wonderful shopping, among other things. On the yarn side, I found this lovely cotton in the Veritas store. I plan on making a set-in sleeve type top-down tee with it, with some short-row shaping for the sleeve caps. To be continued! 😃

  15. #StashDivesaturday I did some thinking on a new shawl design using this yarn. It's Hearthside Fibers Crystal in "Lake", a 50% Merino, 50% Tencel fingering weight yarn. I have another skein of it in a lovely hazelnut brown color. Stay tuned for more about this new design 😉
