I don’t know about you, but I am having a really hard time with the reality that it is August…my brain doth protests much and seems to be stuck in July.
However, yesterday when I posted about a Blanket for Annie… I had hoped that I might get a few knitters who wanted to help. But, I never ever imagined that I would have TWELVE knitters! I have emailed Ann and Kay and I am waiting patiently to hear from them. Blanket knitters… look for an email later today and THANK YOU!! I am so excited!
I had so many finishes this week, but not the Mystery Shawl! KK’s beautiful bind off is slow going but I love how it looks. Also, I think I am doing one too many petals in my flowers, but I like how it looks so I am continuing with the extra petal but, as you can see, I have more than enough yarn. I will settle in this morning with Paris in the Present Tense and see if I can make some good progress on it!
However, my favorite finish is my Notorious Dress inspired by Vicki! I love it!
How about some links to round out your week and perhaps give you some inspiration?
The sweater was strong this week on Ravelry: Sweatershirt and Shamrock if you are a “pullover” person. Or Soyokaze and Margot (Lady) if cardigans are your jam. Don’t like sleeves? Joji has just the thing for you in fingering or sport weight!
Want to knit sweaters for wee people? Bean Cardigan and Waszka
There was some amazing inspiration in the Rectangle Shawl Category this past week as well: Fauxtarsia Wave, Obvious are all gorgeous. I love that eelliotknits posted more yarn ideas for her Fauxtarsia Wave on IG yesterday.
Like short-rows? Then Arabian tales and Summer Dunes have exactly that!
And, for you wash cloth knitters… who can resist Macaron Cloths?
And, I love Cover Your Plans and I might need to do this for the planner I carry in my purse!
That is all I have for this week! Have an amazing weekend and I will see you all back here on Monday!
That is a beautiful bind off and I’m looking forward to seeing the whole beautiful shawl someday soon!
Your dress turned out beautifully! (do you have a concert planned for its debut?) and I think I like your 4-petal flowers better than Kirsten’s. also, I just favorited a dishcloth pattern. pigs might be flying! Happy Friday, Kat (and thank you again for leading our blanket project!)
Wow! That bind off is gorgeous. As always, fun links – thanks for sharing. HAve a great weekend!
Fun dress. Lovely, lovely bind-off. And I think those Macaron Cloths are just too pretty to use! have a great weekend, Kat.
XO
Hope you’re able to wear your new dress and finish up your shawl this weekend!
Oh my gosh, YOUR DRESS!!! It is PERFECT!! Love it. What a load of fantastic knitting links today! Thank you. You ought to have a blanket to sew up in no time. My brother was recipient of a blanket such as this when he was recovering from an accident several years ago and there are no words… I’m happy to be a part of this one!
As always, lots interesting and fun projects…the planner cover is a new one for me!
Enjoy the weekend and congrats on all your progress…where will you debut your dress?
Cheers~
love your dress, you creative clever you! I also like the tee shirt too that made the dress.
I LOVE your shirt dress! Great job!
That Joji pattern may be just the thing to get me started knitting garments.
Those wash cloths!!!
