Another pattern design is in the works. I clearly have an obsession with all-over mosaic shawls. Sorry, not sorry.

Two-color mosaic shawls are one of the best uses of those rando single skeins you have no idea what to do with.

Yarn is Quince & Co Finch in Crow and The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Rocky Mountain Purls in Queen Anne’s Lace.

Les encours du moment :
1) la semaine dernière, je n'avais pas trop le moral alors quand j'ai vu cette pelote DMC #ArcEnCiel j'ai craqué... depuis j'ai envie de tricoter un chale avec des gouttes. J'ai associé ma pelote à un bleu canard en alpaga tout doux (couleur et douceur, un bon remède contre la tristesse) j'écris la recette en même temps que je bidouille. Je partagerai si c'est concluant.
2) le corps du pull #totoro est fini. Il me reste les bras et les yeux à broder (C'est très rose...)
3) je tricote des chaussettes abeilles
La première est finie. La deuxième tarde (le syndrome de la 2ème chaussette...)

@knitting musings

I want to knit a yoked tee. But I want the neckline on the front to be quite a bit lower than on the back because a large expanse of fabric is not that flattering with a large bust.

The plan is, to use the principles for a yoke from "Knitting in the old way" and put short rows into the middle section. But that means I will need more sts on the top section to accommodate the longer row.

I can get a bit nerdy at times, so I really love this blog post from a few years back.

So many ideas, so much information. I think I'll have to read it several times to really digest it all.

Love that.

Playing around.

This yarn is very fine linen, 500m per 100g, in several shades of jeans blue (there label says inkjet printed - whatever that means).

Like all linen, it's a challenge to knit with. I tried several needle sizes. The swatch on the right is 3.0 mm and I think that's the one I like best. There are 4 cones with a total of 2,000 m - enough for a long duster / coat, I think.

Continued thread

how to keep the inside point from folding over, moving around, and generally being an awkward, bulky PITA, while still having that side look tidy when the jacket is open?

The answer (I hope): a cufflink. Looks like a pretty but subtle bit of bling when the band is folded back; the toggle should be almost invisible in the garter stitch when closed. W e'll see if it works as well IRL as it does in my head. (This is why I do prototypes, my friends.)

Every once in a while, I think, "I should really get on with getting my patterns up on [crafting & pattern website]." Then I get an email about their latest marketing plan, which usually involves selling your work at a huge discount, and tying that sale to some holiday.

Look: knitting patterns are already too cheap, IMO. Could we maybe not 'Celebrate International Women's Day!' by devaluing (mostly) women's IP?

#WipWednesday

I set this side over the weekend to make a cowl (to be revealed soon).

Now I'm back at it, slow going because that's about 300 sts on each row and Kauni yarn has a bit of a tendency to be sticky. It's down to earth wool.

I'm improvising as I couldn't find just the right pattern, for the moment I want this part to be about 40 to 50 cm long (16 to 20 inches).
