Summer knitting

It was 108 degrees in Corvallis today.  So no, I must admit I didn't finish knitting this today. It's been done for a while, but I did finish blocking it today.  
This is the color affection scarf/shawl designed by Veera Välimäki.  
When the Plucky knitter first posted it on her blog back in February i knew I had to make it.  A pretty easy pattern to make since it is all garter stitch.  Short rows give it it's unique shape. It drapes beautiful in MadTosh Merino Light. 


Will be fabulously warm and cozy in the winter months, but yeah i don't really need it today.  





Happy Sewing and knitting!

More summer napkin love ~ Crocheted style

I've been having fun crocheting edgings on these napkins and also using up a bunch of stash fabric.

Seems like a fun summertime project...
 

 Most of the edgings are from this book.



I used fingering weight cotton from GarnStudio, Safran and also some Classic Elite . If you're interested in the details you can see my Ravelry post here.
 

I think we have enough napkins for now.  Happy Sewing!
