Stockholm Slipover

Lynn is making the Stockholm Slipover using Le Petit Lambswool (Soft Blue Green) with Le Petit Silk & Mohair (Blue Grey). Lynn is very happy with how the colours are working together. I really like them as well.

The pattern is from PetiteKnit and you can purchase it on Ravelry.

I am thinking (just thinking right now) about bringing in ChiaoGoo interchangeable sets. To start we brought in the new special edition Forte 2.0. We have two sets in stock.

ChiaoGoo's newest Special Edition interchangeable set, the Forté 2.0, includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek stainless steel combined with Carbon Fiber or African Blackwood. The set boasts the new SWIV360 interchangeable cables. Silver in colour, these cables have the same properties as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables, PLUS an added swivel feature! Knitters have been hoping for this for years. In addition to the SWIV cables, TWIST red cables are included for the small [S] sized tips. Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size, which will never wear off. All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins, so they are compatible with all similarly coded interchangeable parts.

Made of REACH-compliant man-made material, the Forté case is as elegant and functional as the tips and cables. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly houses all tips, elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories, and four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies, including a spot for your pattern or notes.

The Forté set includes 14 pairs of 5" (13 cm) tips as follows:
US 2 - US 8 (2.75 - 5.00mm) - Carbon Fibre shaft with stainless steel tips and joins
US 9 - US 15 (5.50 - 10.00mm) - African Blackwood shaft with stainless steel tips and joins

Plus the following accessories:
REACH-compliant zippered case
Six memory-free SWIV360 cables (14", 22", and 30" in both small [S] and large [L] joins)
Three memory-free TWIST red cables (14", 22", and 30" in small [S] joins)
Steel scissors, a measuring tape, pen, end stoppers, cable connectors, tip adapters, stitch markers, darning needles, and swatch/needle gauge

Lynn and I went outside for pictures so you could see how the Traveler Shawl looks on a real person. All my shawls are the second size which means that the second triangle is longer and you end up with a bigger shawl.

My post was finished when Alex came in with her Rad Plaid Cowl (pattern purchased on Ravelry). I had to add the pictures - it looks amazing.

Lynn gasped when she saw the cowl and asked if she could try it on. She’s wanted to knit it for some time and I think she will once her vest is finished.

Alex used one skein each of

Emma’s Practically Perfect Sock Heavy Pour

Emma’s Suri Silk Petal

Dyed in the Wool Dirty Little Secret

The Rad Plaid Cowl combines 3 colors and simple slipped stitches to create a fun plaid fabric with endless color combo possibilities! This cowl style is perfect for colorwork projects because the floats are hidden inside, and it is so easy to style. Just pop it on to finish any outfit and add a little cozy to your day! It begins with a provisional cast on and is then knit as a tube in the round, twisted once and grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.

I need to pack tonight but the most important thing is to get my knitting in order. I can buy clothes or toiletries there but I will be lost without my yarn. The other order of business is figuring out what TV show I’m going to download to watch on the plane. It should have been Suits but I’ve been watching it at home and I’m almost finished. Just a few more episodes to go.
