It’s almost time to attach the second ball of yarn. Once that one is knit up, I think I’ll start working a deep ribbed border. What do you think? 🤔

This London Vibes was made by my dear tester StarStrong. Instead of a kid-silk yarn, she chose a sock yarn in a pale lavender shade. Isn’t it gorgeous?! I so love seeing how different yarn choices give a design a unique look 😊

I couldn't resist photographing my WIP rolled up, like skinny scarves are often shown. I see the appeal: That slipped-stitch edge rolled up like this looks so satisfying!

Isn’t the patterning in this new design cute? It reminds me a bit of tulips! I haven’t decided on a working title yet, though. Any suggestions?

#FlaskbackThursday Joining a new color doesn’t have to mean knots, a tapestry needle, or a pile of ends to weave in later. This tutorial shows a simple join you can work as you go 😃

I wound the yarn for Vuurvogel into balls, those loose skeins were really starting to bother me! 😆

On this project I'm nearing the final bit of knitting. I just can't wait to see the end result! I'm now quite a bit beyond the midpoint of the scarf 😃

While on vacation, I made a few feathered friends! These great tits just loved unsalted pistachios 😊

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 😃

With this shawl I haven't gotten very much knitting in. So, not a lot of progress to show you. Nevertheless, the knitting continues! 😃

Yup, this is the back end of #OreoTheCat. He wouldn’t pose the rest of him. Cats! 😆 Have a lovely Friday! 😃

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

When on vacation in France, my husband and I always have a list of things we want to take home. On my list, there's usually soap, and yarn. On his list is garlic! 😄

#FlashbackThursday The Bamboo Lace Stitch resembles the classic Bamboo Stitch, but its construction is quite different, and the result is much more lacy! 😃

The green yarn is probably too thin for this design, so I’m frogging it and trying another stash yarn. The turquoise is out too, unfortunately. I don’t have enough, and the yarn company vanished around 1987 😆

I’ll start weighing my yarn after I’ve completed this rep, because the balls of yarn are becoming visibly smaller! 😃
