Dinner Guests

Petite Knits has a new pattern that you can purchase on Ravelry.

The Bea Top is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and the work is then divided into the front and back yoke which are each worked separately back and forth in stockinette stitch with decreases along both sides. The top is shaped at the top of the yoke by means of short rows to create the boatneck.


Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Make sure to wash your swatch before taking the gauge measurements, as the recommended yarns might grow with wash and wear. Note that the size of the top will increase by a couple of cm an inch or so with wear after wash and blocking – keep this in mind when choosing which size to knit.



Beth and I host family dinners for all the holidays. Tonight we had the parents over for a BBQ. Everyone had a great time with lots of laughs. It’s funny that as they get older stories come out that Beth and I hadn’t heard before. They’ve left and we’re ready for hockey. My post is going to be short - it was a long day getting ready. I can barely keep my eyes open.
