Well, it’s that time again. My family and I are trekking halfway across the country for our summer vacation. What am I doing while we travel? Knitting of course!
I was worried a little towards the end of last week since I had placed a Knit Picks order for a bundle of yarn. I was hoping and praying that it would get to the house before we left. It arrived super-early so I was able to start on a couple new projects.
1. Lace Ribbon Scarf from Knitty: Yep, I’m jumping on the bandwagon and I must say, this pattern is awesome. I’m knitting it up in Gloss sockweight and it’s looking gorgeous. I’d love to use the same stitch pattern as a shrug. I think it’d be very pretty in a white.
2. Short-Sleeve Cable Vest: I was originally going to knit Kepler, a pullover with Celtic knots on the waist and sleeves, but found a pattern I liked better for a short-sleeved cable pullover. I’m swatching right now and am already two needle sizes up!
3. Clessidra socks: I’ll be knitting these knee socks up for Knitting Olympics this August. I’ve joined up on Team Teen and I hope we’ll all be successful! I still have to swatch for these, but I’m really excited about working on these.
I don’t have much else to say, so I’ll be signing off now.
