Clicking away...

This week has gone by much too fast and there's so much left to do yet before settling into the weekend. I have no doubt that it will all come together like it always does.

As you can see, it was another fabulous week for our CSA:

And I bound off the second sleeve on my Grace while knitting with the ladies at the shop this morning:

This sweater has been hibernating for a few months - according to blog and ravelry records, I cast on in January *blushing* - so it's finally getting some much needed attention.

I'm, of course, busy knitting away on class sweaters for our beginning and advanced sweater workshops this fall and juggling other class projects. I'm having a hard time narrowing down the choices, so...

What do you want to see on the upcoming class schedule?

Lattice-Work

I finished it! Yay! I love it and it's already gotten a lot of use this summer! Somehow it was almost a month ago when I shared my bottom rib progress and I'm just now sharing the finished project. Better late than never, right?

I made several modifications to knit in the round to avoid seaming and to try it on as I knitted - I'm happy with these mods. Very. Happy. This was a seriously fun knit, even if I was griping about missing the elasticity of wool during knit night/morning. It was really nice to knit something for myself and have the freedom to veer from the pattern, and veer I did!

Pattern: Cap Sleeve Lattice Top by Purl Bee – MODIFIED

Yarn: Skinny Cotton by Blue Sky Alpacas (30 Birch & 314 Gravel)

Raveled:  Cap Sleeve Lattice Top – modifications are noted

I love knitting with wool, but as far as cottons go, Blue Sky has hit this one out of the ballpark! With the multiple plies, the lace was a little slow going, but the stitch definition on the lattice and the twisted rib bottom is stunning. And then there's the drape, oh my! I'm already dreaming of knitting another Skinny Cotton garment next spring!

Cheers! Alisa
