Knitting for Summer

Joji has a beautiful new pattern. This is called Adriata and the pattern can be purchased on Ravelry.

Kissed by the sun and the sea, waves crashing in, carrying a cooling soft breeze. 

It is worked from the top down, seamlessly, adorned with beautiful lace trimmings.

Joji knit the top with a DK weight yarn. One of the test knitters used Rowan Summerlite DK.

We received a brand new Cotton/Linen blend called Allino from BC Garn.

"Allino" - the name sounds light, airy and reminds one of a day at sea. A classic combination of linen and cotton; the mixture of these two natural fibers - one muted, the other with a slightly glossy surface - gives this versatile yarn a lively appearance.

50% Linen, 50% Cotton

Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry.

Here are the colours that we received. These are not on the website yet - I will try to do it tomorrow. The yarn is $12.50 a ball.

Beth made Easter Bark after dinner. It looks good. Hopefully it will be cooled down before bed.
