I’ve been baking again! These are sourdough sandwich loaves. They’re still cooling down, I’ll post another picture when I’ve cut them into slices 😃

My youngest wanted to make burgers for dinner, so I made some burger buns to go with them 😃

After casting on the orange shawl, I thought that it would perhaps be nicer to have the decrease part instead of the yo's of the repeat in the middle? So, I got another ball of the yarn and cast that version on as well 😆

I found a new-to-me cast-on. So, of course, I made a tutorial about it 😃

I baked a Turkish pide bread! It’s supposed to have sesame and nigella seeds on top, but I didn’t have nigella. Instead, I used caraway. Very tasty! 🤤

Last week, I was a few days in Helsingborg, Sweden. We visited the Frederiksdal open air museum, among other things. It was there that this cow was so sweet to pose for me 😄 I’ll show you some more pictures from my trip soon!

A while back, I baked these little cornmeal muffins. They weren’t overly sweet and froze very well. I should really bake some more of these soon! 😃

#StashdiveSaturday This yarn is beckoning me to do something with it. It’s gorgeously soft Alpaca Luxury Socks that I bought as souvenir yarn when I was in Heidelberg, Germany last summer. I’m thinking about a shawl with some mosaic color work. Or perhaps a crescent with a stockinette body and a lace border? 🤔

Recently, I encountered some posts about the Luminos Tee by Yamagara. It has such an interesting construction, that I just have to make one. These are the yarns that I will be using 😃

@npub1qjr…kgt0 No I haven’t! It’s a tad rougher than the alpaca I’m familiar with, but I do like how it handles and looks 😃

@npub1qjr…kgt0 There are some that can be found for a reasonable price….

@npub1qjr…kgt0 GaApp often uses this statue to display her shawls for pictures. I think it’s brilliant 😃

I reknit the purple yarn in new lace patterning, mirroring the eyelet V-shape earlier in the border patterning. Much better! Now to knit in the twisted rib until all the yarn is through! 😃

With my sourdough starter, I ended up making something different than bread. I made sourdough chocolate chip cookie squares! Very tasty 😃

Today, there was drama in garden: this chick had flown from its nest and landed in my apple tree. Both #HarissaTheCat and #ArrabbiataTheCat were aware of its position. The birds parents were also around, calling the cats names. Harissa jumped into action, but I got the bird to fly away out of the garden. Whew! 😅

Yesterday, I had to feed my sourdough starter, and took the opportunity to make some multi grain bread. I had these slices hot from the oven with a lick of butter. Yum! 😋

Time to ball up the skein of purple yarn RMR Yarn Co. send me. It's the Jalea De Uva colorway, dyed on the Micaela yarn base, scrumptious merino & mulberry silk. This yarn is truly luscious 😊

As I mentioned last time, there are now just many, many leaves to knit. This is what I managed to knit thus far. There is some ruffling going on, probably because I didn't have enough yarn to knit more of this section after the pi-increase before starting the border. But, I think it will be ok even with some ruffling in the finished piece, it will add to the organic vibe of the shawl 😃

Leafy border, take 2! I'm pretty happy with this version! It will be a long time before the border is all done: there are 128 leaves in total to knit, before I'm through with all 1024 stitches on the needles. Still, with a leaf here and there, progress will be made. To be continued! 😃

@npub1qjr…kgt0 I just love following what you do in your project! 😃❤️

2023-08-21 18:14:33

On the pale green round shawl, I did the last pi increase round. And I must say, 1024 stitches on a 100 cm circular needle is a tad crowded... 😃

I got my husband to snap a few pictures of me wearing my Striped Summer tee to share with you. Anyway, I expect that with its slightly ruffled yoke and relaxed fit, this garment will become a favorite for those warm summer days! Now onto finishing the pattern with things like the schematic and yarn estimates for all sizes 😃
