Knitting News


My knitting has solely been focused on this summer top.  I worked on this beauty the entire trip up to Boston getting the lace detail finished.  Now I'm on the stockinette stitching which to me is soothing and calming.  I find if I feel hectic on the inside, stockinette stitch gets me into a zen state of mind.

My other projects have taken a back seat while I obsess over this current knit. 

Ravelry notes are here.

  7. I love summer tops. They're some of my favorite knits. The best is doing the tricky lacy bits first, then smooth sailing to the finish with stockinette. Enjoy!

  10. That lacy shell edge detailing is beautiful. I didn't notice it when I first looked at the Ravelry picture. You are making swift progress.

  11. Great combination of yarn and color! That is darling pattern. I am glad to see there aren't nettles in the yarn! Some years ago, there was a yarn with nettles -- and it wasn't very soft!

  13. That top is going to be so much fun to wear. The yarn looks so summery and cool. I love the project. Keep on knitting! And yes, sometimes I am amazed how knitting a simple stitch calms my soul. Garter stitch is what does it for me.

  14. You are zooming along on this Tegna (?). What a fun color also. I can understand how stockinette stitch is soothing. For me it's the feel of the needles in my hands and the yarn running through my right. It's like eating comfort food or reading a favorite book.
