I’ve been traveling in Italy and Croatia for a couple of weeks and away from knitting for that amount of time as well. As you can see from the photo, I’m trying to make up for that now!
In the middle is a work-in-progress that’s based on my Blossoms and Vines Lace Scarf pattern. The yarn is a lace-weight silk and merino blend and the color is marsala (the color of the year).
On the right is a new design in progress in an emerald blue – Malabrigo Lace Baby Merino – a wonderfully soft yarn to work with. And on the left is the first few rows of a variation on a design in a yarn I love – a Bordeaux gradient, also in merino wool.
I’m looking through my trip photos for inspiration for new designs. In the meantime, if you’re looking for scarf and shawl patterns for spring and summer, get your needles out and take a look at my designs on Ravelry.
For any Game of Thrones fans out there, here’s a photo of me standing by Neptune’s Fountain in the Trsteno Arboretum, near Dubrovnik, Croatia. This is one of the locations featured in an episode of the popular series.
Happy knitting,
