Friday, July 1, 2022, Issue 254: Happy Canada Day!!

I can never finish all of the summer tops and tees that can be found on Ravelry! Summer tees are what I am itching to make to wear!

HØR no 14 by Lone Kjeldsen has maritime stripes that never go out of fashion! It is knitted from top down in one piece seamlessly with shoulders that are both shaped and decorated with a series of decreases on each side of the neckline. The upper part of the back and front piece are knitted back and forth, and assembled, after which the body is knitted in the round and ending with an I-cord. Neckband and sleeve-edging are double i-cords separated by stockinette stitch.

WIPs and FOs

I have about 8 inches now from the underarms of my Pink is for Power by Melanie Berg! I have either 10 or 24 rounds depending on what length I get before I work the final 2 inches of twisted rib.

I haven’t worked too much on my Ranunculus by Midori Hirose…Just a few more inches before I start the deep 3” of ribbing.

It is July 1st! Cast on Day is today for the Olive Knits 4 Day Sailaway Cardigan KAL!

I hope you have been following Marie’s Olive Knits FaceBook page and joined her group! Olive Knits Student Lounge is the name of the group! Swatches have been popping up for awhile now but sincee the pattern came live on Ravelry today, you will be seeing more!

I really enjoyed working on my Sailaway Cardigan and it fits exactly how I wanted it to fit! It really isn't too late to join in!

Here’s Sandi (sandima)’s June Gnome! It’s Gnome Is Where You Hang Your Hat by Sarah Schira!

Gloria finished this little baby sweater (zipper to be added) knit from a memorized pattern from Newfoundland.

She brought it for show and tell at the first meeting for The Essex County Library Knitters/Crocheters Group on June 27th (1-4pm). In July, the room is unavailable on the 11th or 25th so the meetings will be July 4th and 18th. Starting in August, the meetings will move back to the 2nd and 4th weeks.

A few people asked which branch of the Essex Library this group meets. We meet at the 35 Gosfield Townline West at the Essex branch.

We had another beautiful night for spinning on Monday! We’re going to join in the Tour de Fleece 2022 with a goal of spinning at least a few minutes every day!

Happy Friday, Happy Knitting, Crocheting and Crafting!
