Relaxing to Knit

This is Eyelets in the Stream - a new pattern from Susan Ashcroft that you can purchase on Ravelry.

A silly name (from a Dolly Parton fan) for a fun knit.

  • Relaxing to knit - garter rows alternate with easy to work and easy to remember eyelet pattern.

  • Works with different types of yarn : striping, gradient, handspun, hand-dyed, variegated… the simple stitch will allow your yarn to shine

  • Easy to wear boomerang shape - can be worn as a scarf or draped over the shoulders.

Allow 300-400m (330-440yds).

Knitters on Ravelry used yarns from fingering to worsted. There is a gorgeous shawl knit in Malabrigo Rios. I haven’t purchased the pattern but by looking at samples I think you can knit the shawl as big or as small as you want. When it’s your size you cast off. 



Here are some more kits for Ambah O’Brien’s This or That MKAL. There are 25 combinations available on the website. 
I will be joining. I’m going to knit the wrap. 
Knitting time difference between clues for Shawl or Wrap?
The wrap maintains a stitch count and the clues will be fairly even knitting time.
The shawl increases the stitch count and the first couple of clues will be somewhat less knitting time, with a little more toward the end.
Are you going to join along and have some fun?
The newest Hope Baskets from Atenti have arrived. They are gorgeous. 

Price is Right at Night is on (we taped it earlier in the week). I need to go and beat my family!!
