I am now in the “easy flow” of Eavesdrop, I have finished the sequence parts, the increase parts, and the Horizontal Stitch parts! I will just say that horizontal stitching with linen is not something for the faint of heart! I got it done, but it too the better part of an afternoon and all evening! I now have 13 inches (or there about) of stockinette to do. Translation… easy, peasy knitting!
I am also contemplating my next knit and I need to swatch, so I am ready to cast on. Why the rush? Well, I want to have this close to done so I can squeeze in Marie Greene’s 4 Day KAL. So, I am focused on getting Eavesdrop done, which means some monogamous daily knitting.
However, all the planting is done, the garden beds are all in fairly good shape which means I have no real distractions to keep me from knitting! I doubt I can have it done by Monday but maybe…
How about some links to welcome June!
Summer sweater knitting should be a thing so I have some ideas for you: Hvide Sande or La Lancia or Latitude or Congrats are all fingering-ish weight sweaters and all are so cute!
In the summer sweater knitting vein…#makenine2018 on IG continues to inspire me! The creativity!! This and this… both caught my eye yesterday and the urge to swatch is strong!
I have always been obsessed with Koigu and their Pencil Box Collection is wonderful!
For the shawl knitters out there: I love Walk your Way and Areas is really interesting as well. And, if you like texture…Bobble Diamond Shawl is fascinating. Also, TTL Summer MKAL shawl is up for sale this morning!
Finally, building blocks for Fair Isle lovers!
That is all I have for this week! Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you back here on Monday!
Eavesdrop is looking good, and the time you invested in the horizontal stitching was well spent! I’m pretty sure you’ll cruise through the rest and be read for that gorgeous Beekeeper. It’s supposed to rain here all weekend, so I have high hopes for lots of quality knitting time and I hope you have the same!
Eavesdrop is gorgeous. Love your horizontal stitches – I used them recently on a pair of socks and just love the effect.
I’m in for a rainy weekend – hoping for plenty of knitting and reading time!
No rain in the forecast here . . . so it’ll be lots of time in the garden – and not much knitting at all. I’ll just watch yours and live vicariously! Enjoy the weekend. 🙂
I find linen fiddly and difficult to create uniformly even stitches. I also find it doesnt soften for me. Do you have a trick for this? I love your color choice!!
Linen lover here … and Sparrow is the best! as is 13″ of stockinette in the round when you have books to listen to!! So glad it’s going well… I’m in for the TTL Mystery and I bought my yarn today. two skeins of one color. (aren’t you even remotely tempted? 😉
Hannah’s graduation party is today so there won’t be much knitting, I think! We still haven’t planted our vegetable beds but we did buy the plants yesterday, at least, so we’re ready to go. Happy weekend!
Your Friday links are always so dangerous — so many things I’d like to knit if only I had time!
I hope your Eavesdrop is knitting up quickly!
You always have something wonderful going on! I am sticking with what’s on my needles (I am slow). One thing I am interested in is the TTL Mystery!
The shawl is beautiful, and the linen will feel so good in warm weather!
As a Copenhagen devotee, I am in love with the Building Blocks pattern. I really should make it one of these days.
Thanks for all the warm weather suggestions-I am so THERE right now!
