August 2021

Baby Jackson from this week in 2021. I went back through pictures for tonight’s post and found these. He was so small. 

This is Stephen West’s Botanic Shawl that I finished this week in 2021. I used 3 skeins of Le Petit Lambswool with 4 skeins of Dyed in the Wool. My shawl is huge and you can definitely make it smaller.

This triangular shawl is knit sideways starting with a tiny corner increasing to the border. Stripes and slipped stitches decorate the linear lines of the fabric. One solid yarn combined with one self-striping yarn produce an exciting project that’s easy to knit and fascinating to watch the colors unfold. This pattern is a great beginner shawl project with simple stitches. You can stop early for a smaller shawl or knit more repeats for a larger shawl.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry

I threw a few new combinations together before going home.

Thank you to everyone who purchased online and visited the store during our sale. The last boxes are going out tomorrow. Now a bit of knitting. Beth and dad are watching a movie so I’m going to join them if I can get Boscoe out of my chair.
