There’s not much knitting progress to show you today. Clue 4 of the Perfect Blend shawl has not come in yet, so no changes there. The intarsia-in-the-round socks are in progress! I have halfway through the intarsia part of one of them, but right now it looks like a wad of double point needles with… Continue reading A Floral Interlude
Well, four rows of garter short, but I feel like I can call it close enough for a photo. The two pattern bands of Clue 3 are done, and that’s always the moderately challenging part. The second pattern band this week was the Cross Stitch knit stitch, also called the Indian Cross Stitch. I have… Continue reading PB Shawl – Halfway There!
I’m halfway through Clue 3 of my Perfect Blend MKAL, at which point it will be halfway done! Clue 3 is continuing on the theme from clue 2 of alternating an interesting stitch pattern section with a garter stitch section. The stitch patterns are just enough to keep from being boring, while being difficult. Pretty… Continue reading PB Shawl – Almost to the Halfway Point
I didn’t get much knitting in today, except a little sock knitting at lunch. But it was for a good reason – movie night! DH and Mom and I went out to see Spider Man: Far From Home tonight, and loved it 🙂 It was a nice break in tone from all the high drama… Continue reading Movie Night!

I have 4 rows of garter stitch to do yet to finish this clue, but I think that’s pretty darn close to finished, so here’s how it’s going… Casapinka switched things up a little bit this week by adding some texture pattern rows between the garter sections. It definitely made the knitting more interesting, if… Continue reading Perfect Blend Shawl Clue 2
Dolores just got a package from Webs! I have definitely been slacking on getting some new outfits made for her. So we got a few kits delivered… Guess what I’m knitting next?
The July project for the Boost Your Knitting pattern/technique club is for learning intarsia in the round. For non-knitters playing along at home, intarsia is a colorwork technique where you knit a pattern using one or more extra colors in just one area of the fabric, instead of carrying the other colors along the length… Continue reading BYK Socks Started
