I finished the Second Story Tee this week -
It is a pattern by Debbie O'Neill. I knit it with a Knit Picks merino cashmere yarn that I dyed.
If I was to knit it again I would change the neckline - it is too high, and wide (I would do gradual decreases). I made it to wear as a vest (slipover I think, since it doesn't have buttons).
It is really enjoyable to knit - never more than 20 stitches being worked at a time. I am not making it into a triangle, but more of a scarf (I have finished increasing and will work straight for a bit).
The weaving is going well - I tried out some different weave structures on this set of towels.
Photos from Around -
We had a blizzard this week (luckily every one was home).
Now it is very cold (-45ºC windchill forecast tonight).
The chickens are holding up OK, just touches of frostbite on the ones with big combs, still all laying well.
The cats are happy to stay inside (Miss Maggie won't share her bench with GingerSnap! so I had to bring in a bench for him).
GingerSnap! still has to be involved with everything - helping me change the tie-up on my loom (I have a Mighty Wolf by Schacht and it is very easy to change, but all those dancing cords are pretty exciting).
He is even involved with helping get Molly ready for a walk.
All the best!♥︎
