Off and On

Here is my newest design. It is called Off and On and is available on Ravelry.  

 It uses 1 skein of Sunshine Yarns Classic Sock and uses texture to form stripes. The stripes switch back and forth on either side so the knitting is easy but not boring.

 It is a good size at 52" x 22".  This one satisfied my need for stripes without making it too busy.

Iora

I got a pattern done in my big blog hiatus that I really love. It is Iora. It is a 3/4 square and wears so well.

It is almost like a vest one you have it on and the best part about it is in the back there is no point. It is straight across. It has beads in the lace edging which adds a little sparkle and a little weight.

The yellow one I knit out of handspun and the fuchsia one is out of Dream in Color Baby. It only uses one skein of the Baby.

Next sweater I knit...

Okay, so the next sweater I did was another top down raglan in some Quince and Co. Finch. I chose a light grey as I wanted it to go with more things.

I did a fun textured stitch at the bottom for some interest.

This one looks much better then the picture shows and once the weather cools down again will get plenty of wear.

It has been forever...

I am going to try to be better about posting so we will start with what I have finished since then.

I knit a top down raglan striped sweater. I loosely based the stripes on Tempest and just winged it from there. It fits great and the subtle striping works for me. Not too Rugby style. Next up another top down sweater.
