#tttkal - Tops, tanks and tees knit along

I've immediately joined another knit along.  The Tops, Tanks and Tees knit along hosted by Very Shannon.

I already had this in my queue to knit and it also uses up another stash yarn.  All of a sudden I don't feel like knitting another sweater or socks as we've just started to have warmer weather here in Canada.

The pattern I picked is the Regatta Tee from Interweave Knits, Summer 2013

So far I've got this much done on the back.  My kind of knit.  Easy knitting for the most part but enough of a pattern to the knitting that makes it interesting.  The colour changes are very motivating since it is about an inch between each brown stripe so it feels progress is going so fast.  Then at the top I get to knit a beautiful lace pattern!

But  I am not finding as much time to knit as I normally do since we've been doing some DIY projects around the house and garden.  I'll put up some pictures of those soon.

Shallows Cowl and Knit Along

I joined a knit along at Leighside Knits . I love how thoughtful each of Leigh's posts whether she's writing about knitting or anything else.

Leigh asked each knitter involved several questions, about knitting and very thought provoking questions.  You can read my answers and those of the other knitters here


Pattern: Shallows Cowl  by Bonnie Sennott
Yarn: unknown white yarn, maybe acrylic/wool blend?
Needles: 3.75 mm

The suggested patterns for the yarn-along were by Bonnie Sennott.  I took a look through the patterns and loved the Shallows Cowl.

It was a quick and easy knit.  I like the lace pattern followed by patches of stockinette.  It will be perfect for a little bit more warmth on these spring days or with a dress in the summer.

Thanks Leigh for hosting such a thoughtful knit along.
