I don’t knit much in the summer, I even lay off socks. I recently finished that wonderful linen shawl, so it was onto another shawl, this time wool.
I was too lazy to finish the row before taking the picture. And then we went on vacation.
Through the window of the cog railroad, I saw this crochet lace curtain. Very nicely done.
Look at these adorable sweaters and hats! I’m sure they get a lot of use in the winter.
These slippers are also very cute. Neither are hand knit, but they are made out of yarn, so I had to get some pictures.
I did knit some on the shawl during the trip, not as much as I thought, but it grew.
Every designer finds a way to make the shawl shape a little differently. Which makes knitting more fun.
I had packed my stitch markers and then promptly forgot when I got home where they were. So I scrounged around for some of my older markers. Even with stitch markers, styles change, although the plastic diaper pin made by Clover is always a good choice.
Here’s the jumble of old markers.
Here are the new ones. These bulb, or gourd pins are the new thing. I saw a box of 1000 downtown for $10, so people in the sewing industry are using them as well. I don’t need 1000, pins, so I ordered these from Amazon, they came in all kinds of colors, which is fun.
Nice lace pattern, not hard yet very pleasing.
Question is, am I playing yarn chicken? I bought enough yarn and even started the lace long before the required number of stitches. We shall see, I may have to get very creative with the edging here. Ah! The joys of knitting!
