How is it already the end of July?! Never the less, summer as been so amazing here! It's been super hot and the lake is refreshing. We're happy to report that Emily has finished her Wedding Shawl and is knee deep in wedding preparations. We will soon be getting our crafternoon on to finish up some of the fine details of the décor. I finally finished my Colour Affection Shawl, my Cable Gloves and the Sunnies Case from the last post. The Sunnies case we will be using in our Learn to Knit classes this fall and I've added a cute inside pocket for your ID and debit cards. So handy! |
On my needles know is a pair of socks for my Grandpa. He's 90 and loves his hand knit socks. I knit socks two at a time using magic loop and usually from the toe up. I like toe up because you can knit your toes and use that as a gauge swatch and from that do your calculations. I reach for Toe-Up 2-at-a-time every time I do socks, it's a great reference. I'm also working on Bad Oyster but that is a whole other blog post. I'll leave you with this for now, happy knitting! -Karla |
