Navelli times two

Wannietta is making great progress on Navelli (pattern purchased on Ravelry)
Navelli is a relaxed lightweight summer sweater, knit in the round from the bottom up and featuring colorwork at the body hem and folded sleeves with a tiny peek of contrast color for visual and structural interest. The front and back are separated at the armholes and worked flat with short row shaping at the shoulders. Named for an ancient town in Italy, known as the land of crocuses and saffron, this sweater is the third in my “Knitaly” series of designs (following Tegna and Marettimo). 
This sweater is designed to fit with 4-15” of positive ease, depending on your preferred fit. Sample shown on is a size 4 with 13” of positive ease at the bust and 2” of positive ease at the sleeve. Please see the schematic for full fit information. 
We will have this on display at the Knitters' Fair. Wannietta is using Mrs. Crosby Satchel.
Alex is also making progress. She is using a mixture of singles. I love the combination of olive and pink for the fair isle section. You can't see it in Wannietta's pictures but her border is olive with a very light pink.

The Big Brown Truck made an appearance this morning and we have new skeins of Dyed in the Wool.
We also received some Dream State. All colours are in stock.
It's been forever since we've had Pussy Willow.

I have a Nightshift in Dream State that is almost finished. I want to work on it but I MUST FINISH Guthrie.
