Some progress on my Wraps

I think I've done more knitting in the past couple weeks.  And a small bit of tatting.

 Antarktis ... nearly finished.

 Ardent ... another section done while chatting with friends.

 Summer Sky.  Next section - Star Stitch.  I've never tried it, but liked the look of it in the photograph.

September will be button classes and an intermediate tatting class.
Via zoom thru the Lace Museum.

Monday cast on ...

I purchased this yarn in January.   At a lovely store in Pensacola, FL.

The yarn store was lovely.   I wished I had more time
to totally shop --- did find the EXACT color blue I was seeking.
And the correct amount.

Cloud 9 -- what a beautiful yarn.   Knits like a dream.

Will eventually be a wrap, called Summer Sky.

Honestly, knits like a dream.   I hope it looks nice 
once I am done.

 Ardent by Woolenberry.  No progress.  The yarn is nice tho.   The color is so - natural.   I find it challenging.   Easier for me to use colorful fibers.

I started it in .... I don't know 2017???   Nice to have unearthed it.    How do these beautiful projects get burried in the craft room?     I think it is my oldest Woolenberry WIP.
 The yarn store is no longer in business!

Sometimes, you just feel like knitting.

Risoni Bias Scarf
Pattern by Kristin Ford

[but I might start over and do this differently.   I cast on too many stitches]

I also really would like to start the Risoni Triangle by Janet Avila.   (free on Ravelry).   Now that I have the skeins needed (of Risoni), I'm looking forward to making an asymmetrical triangle.

update

I have continued to knit Antarktis (pattern by Janina Kallio).  Yarn is wood rose, BloomingYarns Cashino.   Also a few more rows on hitchhikker wrap (no curent pic)


 News.  In the current Piecework Magazine, 
my knitted Lace No. 10 photo is on pg. 4.  I know.  How cool is that?
more info on the trim, LINK HERE.


I struggled with dishcloths knitted on the diagonal.   GF, Sue, had knit these many times.  She patiently showed me the ropes, and I finally got the hang of it.  Sugar n Creme yarn, size 9 needles.

... and, once I had the 'know how' knit this for GF Amy.  Pattern is Leisure Arts, Love to Knit Dishcloths by Evelyn A. Clark, called Radiating Hearts.  Sugar n Creme. 

... this free pattern was from Yarnspiration web site -- link HERE.  Sugar n Creme yarn.

This is  new-to-me yarn, Lion Brand 24/7, cotton.    Pattern is Leaf Lace dishloth ...  link HERE.

I like to have my fav needles close at hand + worry about ruining the points.   I have been using this wonderful woven pouch + it is perfect. 

Toys -- did you see the sheep shape stitch markers? 

I wasn't sure about the yarn-it, yet, when I saw the sale, bought a pink one.   I hope to keep the "hat" yarn free of cat fur.   oh, the shedding. 

Fusing ... embellishing.   More photos - link here.

My iron is a mess -- a gust of wind blew the mistyfuse into the iron plate.   After cleaning the iron, I am looking forward to making this owl kit w/DD.
