Sometimes the arrival of Friday brings the greatest joy… sometimes, you just want a bit more time for its arrival. This is one of those times. I had hoped to have a finished sweater today (or more finished than it is)… but that did not happen. I will try and knit for a bit this morning, but my list has a plethora of other things on it as well. So, the sweater might have to wait until Monday for its finish! I had worried Lucinda would be too big – she’s not. I had worried how the yarn would work out – it does. I am eager to wear it and it will be the perfect spring to summer to fall sweater!
And, maybe, just maybe I can get some swatching done for my new Vodka Lemonade.
I love it when I have some things to look forward to on Monday!
Now, how about some links:
First up…Mary has 2018 Summer Book Bingo cards ready! I have my card(s)…yes, I printed out two and have not yet decided which I will use. One is definitely easier than the other… (to see the cards more clearly click to embiggen!)
I recently discovered TextileArtist.org and every day my brain explodes just a bit more at all the insane stitching creativity! Yeah… just amazing inspiration.
I have long been fascinated by Åsa Tricosa’s designs and this week she released a trio of curiosities: Vaudeville, Coucou, and Dusala. The details are quite inspiring, as is her sweater construction. Have you knit any of her designs? If so, please share your thoughts!
Clementine is as adorable as the fruit!
I am no fan of dishcloth knitting and, you will never, ever, ever, ever find me knitting one. However, I have noted that some of you do like to do this phenomenon occasionally so perhaps some of you might enjoy May Flowers.
And, finally a new design by Caitlin Hunter: Sipila
That’s all I have for this week! Have an awesome weekend and I will see you back here on Monday!
Your sweater looks wonderful, whenever you finish! Card Two looks good to me – less politics! I’ll admit that I refreshed the card generator a few times until I got a card without politics but with a cover that matches a current wip. Wishing you a great weekend filled with lots of the good stuff!
You are so close to finishing — I have a feeling you’ll be done before you know it!
Thanks for sharing those links to Asa Tricosa’s newest patterns, as I hadn’t seen them yet. Those surprising pops are color are so charming.
The sweater’s looking great! Good luck with the final stretch and have a great weekend!
My mom was a dishcloth knitter, and I am now using my last batch of her knitted dishcloths. Either I’m going to have to pick up that mantle . . . or just let it go. Maybe I’ll start with that sweet May Flowers pattern . . .
Have a great weekend!

I’m so glad to learn about Asa Tricosa; just a quick glance shows me that I’ll need to look more closely at her patterns. Thanks!
Aw Mayflowers are pretty!!! I go into a zone when I knit dishcloths. Every so often I have to ! Plus I LOVE using them. Your sweater is working out perfectly. Im happy for yOU!
beautiful! I bet you are done over the weekend. I am interested to see what wool/yarn you choose for Vodka lemonade – so I’m excited as well.
Your sweater is going to be lovely! I pulled one card and I like it! I will get a least one bingo! May your day be full of joy and love, Kat!
Oh that sweater is going to be perfect for late Spring. I’m with Bonny – card two!
Oh my, darling Clementine!! 🙂
