Lynn's in Love

Lynn is working away on her Love Note and loves how it looks so far. She is using Biches & Buches Le Petit Lambswool and Le Petit Silk & Mohair. Just a few more rows on the body and then onto the ribbing.
This sweet little sweater knits up quickly from the top down. The combination of mohair lace and single-ply merino creates a fabric that is floaty, soft and sensual. With a high-low hemline and two length options, what’s not to love?
You will notice the different coloured yarn at the neck line. The pattern asks you to start with a provisional cast on.
This pullover is knit from the top down. The neckline ribbing is completed last to allow easy fit adjustment. 
Mr. Canada Post delivered our box of Wrist Rulers this morning.
We have shiny.
We have bright.
And we have natural colours.

Lynn rearranged sock yarn today. This means pulling everything off the shelf and starting fresh.

Camp is always in the back of my mind and this morning I came up with a new class. I am going to teach this class Saturday morning.
I like that sweater but I want a cardigan 
We will discuss taking a sweater pattern and changing it to become a cardigan. We will switch it as well - make a cardigan into a sweater.  
  • A few of things we will discuss - 
  • When you can add steeks.
  • How to do steeks.
  • Lining up patterns.
  • How many stitches to pick up for button band.
I don't know how much knitting there will be tonight. The new season of Survivor. The Masked Singer. It could be a late night but these are TV shows that you have to pay attention to - you have to keep putting down your knitting to watch.
