Wearbles

It’s been gorgeously warm here, even insanely hot 2 days, so I’ve worn summer handknits.

No Day But Today

Linen Butterflies

Watermelon Shawl

Strawberry Blossoms

Lotus Mandala shawls

FOs

48-st sock for E in red sock yarn, finished the first sock. Allegro by Wisdom Yarns, distributed by Universal Yarns. May be discontinued.

WIPs

As You Wish MKAL by Mary Annarella of Lyrical Knits. This is a Princess Bride themed mystery knitalong that will eventually result in a rectangular shawl. Nearing the end of Clue 3! This shawl is sooooo much fun to knit.

48-st sock for E in red sock yarn, started toe of 2nd sock on US 2s. Allegro by Wisdom Yarns, distributed by Universal Yarns. May be discontinued.

Mermaid Skirt by Concept Creative, a Ukranian designer. It’s a wonderful pattern and very easy to follow, even for an advanved beginner like me. It looks super fancy but the photos and inks to video tutorials makes it really easy. It’s charted and written out.

Juliana top by Linda’s Craftique, for once worked in the called-for yarn – Neve by Juniper Moon Farms. This pattern is bottom-up. I finished the ribbing and am starting up the body.
