| First of all, we're expecting a little potato in January. I knit kidlet a little sweater as part of our announcement with our friends, from wool I bought while I was in Germany. I just have to decide which buttons I'll be putting on. |
 |
| I decided I was going to be awesome and design my own shawl pattern. Mom doesn't really 'get' it, it's asymmetrical and requires a little bit of work to actually put it on properly. This lime green number is actually 100% viscose sourced from sugar cane. It feels like silk and drapes like a dream. |
 |
| As it turns out, I kind of adore the pattern and I've knit it multiple times. I adore this one, which is a cotton/nylon/bamboo blend. It's also two colours, so when I knot it it looks really funky! |
 |
| I'm fairly certain this is a wool/nylon blend, which was sourced from my Grandmother in NB's stash. It's an infinity cowl, and is so lovely and warm. |
 |
| I've dabbled with crochet this summer. This rose took me an entire evening of work, almost 3 episodes of Supernatural. I'm not sure if I'll repeat this particular experiment. |
 |
| I also got to try a bit of natural dying again. This experiment was with goldenrod! I'm not going to lie, I'm shocked by the colour I got. I didn't think I would get such a lovely, bright colour. I wish I'd weighed the goldenrod before dying! |
It's been a very long, very busy summer and my blog has suffered as a result. Much apologies, much loves, and hopefully I'll be better moving forward.
