Summer Tweed Vest

I found this lovely Rowan Summer Tweed in Guildford in July. Unfortunately there were only two skeins left, so I decided not to buy it. Then we went 'home' to Leamington Spa and there in the Web of Wool they had plenty. And I must say: what a brilliant shop! Can't wait to go back. Four skeins for me and six skeins for Lise - her birthday was coming up just around the corner. I got her the deep red version because I know how much she loves reds and purples.

As soon as I got back to the B&B I began knitting.
I don't have a pattern for this one - I just see this summer vest in my mind, and I'll take it from there. It involves a lot of frogging which is perfectly okay.


The yarn is so soft: cotton and silk, the perfect summer blend :)

I'm back. Work has been taking up all my time, but finally things seem to get a bit more tolerable from now on. There has been knitting-less weeks which is good for nothing, since I 'recharge' while knitting. Running does the same thing for me but there hasn't been much time for that either. For the past week or so there has been time to knit and run - not so much blogging, but I'm here now, right? :)

Several weeks ago I finished this soft scarf made with bourette silk; one solid and one semi-solid green.

This year I'll be going to no less than four weddings and because it's usually a struggle when it comes to finding the right outfit for that kind of event, I decided to make a shawl... because... at least I'll have that! Hopefully I'll find something else to wear too considering the lace pattern and all... I only have three weeks to finish it - here is how far I've come:




I'll probably need to do another 20 rows or so :)
