New favourite hat

Just a simple hat today, in a slip stitch non-pattern, with a pom pom. PS: this video is a great pom-pom tutorial.

Highland raglan

Another little raglan I just finished, this time using a skein of handspun/dyed yarn I got at a festival this summer along with 6 balls of Diamond Luxury Highlander in ecru that I got on sale at my LYS. I knit it with slightly larger needles than recommended, but my standard circular for this raglan, and it turned out just fine -- airy but sturdy. The sleeves are a bit gathered, as I didn't decrease until I got to the cuff ribbing. I love raglans!

Little rios raglan

Malabrigo Rios never disappoints. Here, I added a touch of silk-merino blend from a LYS in burnt orange to bring out the warmth in the earthy colours. I adore the stitch definition here!

Montreal cardigan

100 percent wool cardi I knit while on vacation in Montreal!

New and succulent summer things

I've been busy doing summer things, but I did manage to finish that lap blanket in greys and eyelash yarn to match the couch. I've also started a scarfy-thing with a couple of balls of white, slubby linen blend. And I made a moss terrarium! re-potted cacti tiny moss terrarium

Two of my favourite things

Fresh cinnamon rolls... Crisp cotton stockinette increases...

Seedlings, rain and a wrap...

Took a break from knitting to plant some potatoes in a bag and re-pot some seedlings. The wrap can wait, but not too long, because I have summer sweaters to knit.
