Happy 4th of July!
That’s a good start. What in the world have I been doing the past month plus? Well, it’s summer y’all! At least recently. Plus some secret gifty knitting. I have a FO and some WIPs, and finally, pictures 🙂
I knit a shawlette for my sis J’s birthday…and took the opportunity for FO pics during a visit to one of my favorite places, Descanso Gardens.
- Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante (Raveled)
- Capistrano Fiber Arts Merino/Silk in “Irish Moss”, 2 skeins, 300 yards
- US 8 needle
- Size small in the dk/sport pattern
For my niece, a Begbie cowl in Malabrigo “Sealing Wax”. Such a cool color!
And, in order for this site to keep its cred as The Cardigan Blog, progress on my Aryn Tunic Cardi in Classic Elite Lush.
I just have to knit the upper back and dolman sleeves, the rest of the neckband, and some finishing. The fabric is incredible, and also very, very warm. I should have this done just in time for the hottest weather of the year! Figures.
I’ll soon be starting two new cardigans, one for moi and one for my sis L. I hope everyone in Canada and the US is enjoying their national birthdays, and having a lovely long weekend!
You are a knitting machine!! all those knits are looking amazing.
Crazy what you turn out — where do you store it all, btw? You must have quite a collection of handknits in your drawers. . . and they tend to accumulate, right? I find it’s tougher to pass along something I’ve knit than it is to get rid of something I bought at The Gap or something . . .
I love the Lush cardi, it looks so snuggly even from here. If you lived here in northern Montana, you could wear it every day of the year. We still have snow. Just sayin’ ….mumble, mumble……
hey! there you are! 😉 love all the projects, especially the shawl!
Beautiful shawl! Nice to see you back and what you are working on ~ I love the Lush cardi (my fav yarn for toys). Yuck to the arrival of summer heat 😦
Love the Traveling Woman in those dimensions,and in that yarn. I like the one I made but its too tiny.
Missed you on here! I love the projects! Very pretty all!
I’m impressed with how much knitting you manage to get done! Lovely Traveling Woman, that was a fun pattern.
