]]>The first pattern is Summer Sorrel, by Wool & Pine. This tee features an interesting ray design radiating out from the neckline. The body of the tee is knit in stockinette, so once you have knit the yoke detail and separated for the sleeves it's onward with rounds of easy knitting! One detail to mention is that the neck opening gets pretty large as the size of the top increases. I knit the 46" size, the neckline is wider than I would like. If you think you want a smaller neckline I suggest casting on for a smaller size, and then increasing to the correct number of stitches for your size yoke.
The second pattern, Recalibrate, is constructed in a really interesting, modular way. While the entire piece is knit in garter stitch, the construction makes it a fun, not-boring knit! I wholeheartedly suggest that you visit the Ravelry page for this pattern, to see how other people have used colors and sizing to really make this a one-of-a-kind piece just for them. It's very inspirational!
There will be a Zoom evening with Shana Cohen, the designer of Recalibrate, on March 22, 6-8pm (central time). There's no purchase required to join the Zoom, so join us to find out more! Here's the Zoom link:
]]>With things a little less busy in the shop over the summer months, I have time to plan out the upcoming busy season. Things usually start to pick up mid August, and by September, with the advent of the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival, I'm operating at full speed! I've been spending the past couple of months planning purchases, figuring which models I am going to knit, and figuring out how to get it all into my booth for WSWF. I am getting to work with many new independent vendors, it is really great to be working with ladies who are all as excited about yarn and knitting as I am!
This year, two weeks after the festival, I'll be taking part in a new-to-me shop hop, and another shop hop in October. New items and models will be arriving just for those occasions too! So here's to the Summer Slowdown, enjoy it while it lasts!
]]>Keep you fingers crossed that we will all able to gather around the table for knitting groups sometime soon, I miss you all!
