Well this month I finished an entire sweater! It's cozy and snuggly and warm and oversized, not at all appropriate for July, but I can't wait to layer up in the winter months. The sweater is Antrorose by Shannon Cook from the collaborative book with Jane Richmond called Journey and features a unique funnel neck.
Cast on a new pair of socks. This pattern is called Papillotes by Yvette Noel, only I knit them toe-up. I love this subtle muted pink and purple in the yarn I chose from Black Market Wool called Please Don't Tease.
Also from Journey, I knit up a pair of wrist warmers using the pattern Spate by Jane Richmond, using my leftover yarn from my Antrorose sweater.
In an impromptu desire to cross-stich something, I stitched up another pattern from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery called Sweet Tooth.
I got a grand start on a new quilt, using my precious Liberty of London fabrics. I really wanted to use big fabric blocks to show off the delicate patterns of the fabric and I think I picked a really great option.
Another pair of socks on and off! I decided to make up a matching pair of socks for my Antrorose sweater, so I used the same chart, just stuck it on the insole of a sock. The yarn I used for these socks is by Candy Skein and the colourway is called Watermelon. These socks are extra squishy because I knit a garter heel and toe.
New on the needles is a scarf pattern that I am really excited about in a colour that is on the spectrum of my favourite turquoise colour, which is also by Candy Skein and the luminous colour is Blue Raspberry.
