Fizz

Mary-Anne finished her Sherbet Fizz and it is stunning.

Thanks for mentioning this shawl on your blog recently!  I don’t really knit shawls but when I saw this pattern I knew I had the perfect yarn in my stash - SweetGeorgia Tough Love sock in raspberry - and the perfect person to give it to.  What a wonderful pattern this was, easy to follow, easy to knit, and produces this fantastic lace pattern with hardly any thought. Great Netflix knitting! Thought you might enjoy some photos.  

You can purchase the pattern on Ambah O’Brien’s website. 

Thank you for sharing Mary-Anne. You did a great job. I think you might want to change your mind about knitting shawls.

Sherbet Fizz is a summery confection of shawls that prove to be more-ish knitting, try to stop at just one.  

Choose between small and large in fingering weight or the DK weight version, and knit up a lightweight shawl that will be a delight to throw on for a touch of warmth on cooler days. Simple lace alternating with garter rows keeps it interesting and not too challenging — perfect for a first time lace knitter.

Sherbet Fizz is easily adjustable to make the most of your yardage. 

The pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the lace.


I knit a few rows today but … Dad and Lucy came for breakfast and to help with a few chores. I knit a bit and then napped this afternoon. Then steak dinner. After dinner I had to clean the kitchen and tidy because Terry is coming tomorrow to clean. Yup. We are those people who clean before the house is cleaned.

We will have three new colours of Cocoknits Tape Measures soon - my guess is 3 weeks.

Cocoknits tape measures are now available in Earth Tones: Linen, Clay, and Storm. The metal tape inside measures both inches and cm/mm (78 in / 2 m long), and has a metal tab on the end to keep it from retracting into the body of the tape measure.

Because Cocoknits is committed to avoiding plastic wherever possible, we manufactured it from PLA, a 100% biodegradable plant fiber. The absence of a locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage.

Each tape measure is packaged in a reusable linen drawstring bag to minimize packaging waste


Now some knitting. The Track & Field is on.
