Taking a break from serious reading this week as I find myself perusing a knitting book called Fair Isle Style over and over. Do I need another knitting project? A resounding "NO!" can be heard echoing throughout my house, but dreaming is always fun. I especially like the Reeva Hat in a traditional tam beret style.
On my needles is an afghan I began last Spring using this pattern with a mix of Lorna's Laces worsted weight yarn. The pattern is so simple and a really fun knit as you really could just stop at any time. You start from the middle and work you way out in consecutive squares (the designer also has a circular version.) So, you could stop right away and have a coaster or a hot pad, then maybe after a little more a chair cushion or pillow, next up a lap blanket or wall hanging, my destination - afghan would be next or finally a bedspread. Really, a low pressure pattern. I left it over the summer as, let's face it, wool is hot when draped all over you. Now, with the cooler temps it has been calling my name. I'm hoping to knock it out quickly so I can move on to my holiday gift knit list. Oh, if I would only start on that list in July. Sigh.

Pretty colours. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
ReplyDeleteOoh--love that blue/brown color combo! I actually just made some blue/brown cards this week (going up on my blog next Thursday). Seems like a good color combo for October--blue skies, brown leaves.
