Tropical


The pattern calls for a Theme Pack from Emma’s in Practically Perfect Sock. We have those in stock. For the sample we used a Theme Pack in Super Silky. Super Silky is 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Silk. The drape is amazing. These kits will be arriving on Wednesday and I’ve already added them to the website.


You can also make your own combination with 10 Practically Perfect Smalls (lots are coming in the order).

From Emma’s Mom, Laura, who designed the shawl.

I live in the subtropics where we enjoy year round sunshine and hot sticky summers. I often find myself in a dilemma, do I dress for the weather outside or the weather inside? Outside the sun is blazing and inside the air is frigid, almost freezing! Enter Tropical Dilemma, the perfect take everywhere 

This gorgeous shawl is knit from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast on. As you add increases to the spine and edges a triangular shape is formed. The simple repeat of knits and purl rows are memorizable and meditative, making this the perfect lazy day, knit night or Netflix project! Grab a kit of colorful yarn or use up bits from your beautiful stash, this shawl is all about letting the yarn do the heavy lifting so you can relax and enjoy!


I added a JUL Round Ring Leather Cuff.



The bathroom is almost finished. Tara called this morning about the grout on the floor. I bought black but they were afraid that it would bleed into the tiles so we went with grey.

Tara and Chris called us on Saturday that they needed until tomorrow to finish so we didn’t go up this weekend. It should all be done tomorrow except for the shower door. They need to come home so Chris will make a trip up in a week or so to finish.
