This week I’m sharing pictures of the stole, the sweater has only a little sleeve progress and to be honest I’m worried I’ll run out of yarn!
I’m working on the 3rd clue that went out on Sunday, with the new job and everything going on it’s slow moving but I love the yarn (by Bittersweet Woolery) and I love watching the pattern emerge 🙂
Teaming up with Tami again!
Saturday, while I was vising Albuquerque, I went on a hike to see the crash site of a TWA plane that was on it’s way to Santa Fe but only ten minutes after take-off crashed into the foothills of Sandia in 1955.
It was a good ten mile hike, a beautiful day and an awesome way to spend time with one of my favorite people.
The area around the wreckage was lush, surprising for New Mexico, much cooler than the base of the hike and hummingbirds seemed to favorite the area. The humbling aspect of the deaths of 13 passengers and 3 crew members made the destination bittersweet, the hike was well worth the effort.
Knitting progress to share tomorrow!
I had a whirlwind of a weekend, it was so fun and totally worth it but man am I exhausted! I do plan on sharing some photos from the hike I took Saturday later this week, and, of course, knitting news and progress but today, while I’m catching up on other things and working at the cafe (I picked up a part-time barista job which I love!) I’ll leave you with a pleasant song 🙂 What did you do this weekend?
So the Mystery KAL is underway and I’m excited by the progress all of the participants are sharing! I love seeing the design knit up in different colorways and I’m even knitting another too 😀
The stole pattern is available for purchase but won’t be released to the public until early October when the KAL is over. If you choose to purchase the pattern between now and then, it will arrive in your inbox as soon as it is available!
The sweater has been making a little progress, although not much. I finished the bottom edging with a K1tbl, P1 rib and bound off using Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.
Looking at the way the sweater fits, I may un-bind off and make the ribbing a smidge longer…but we’ll see how it fits after I put on the sleeves and collar (those shouldn’t take too long right?)
The sweater progress has slowed a bit because I’ve prioritized my knitting and work knitting gets done first, sadly. But it is quite a motivator to get it done so I can have fun knitting time!
Share your own WIPs and check out others on Tami’s Blog 🙂
I’ve been waiting a long time to finally bring you guys this pattern and today’s the day!
The hat is great for using different yarn weights, needle gauges and techniques and none of the pieces are extremely difficult to make. It would make a great introductory project for bobbles and short rows and it gives you the cutest finished project 🙂
Perfect for the upcoming gift-giving season, perfect for treating yourself and perfect for creating your own Halloween costume that will keep you warm!
The pattern and more details are available on Ravelry, Craftsy and Etsy (and if you don’t knit but want your own, check this out!).
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, busy weekend, another busy week ahead! I’ve got some surprises to share with you this week but first we’ll start it off with some mewseek 🙂
