Yarn Along

I've been on a knitting roll now that school is out for summer.

I have had less running around and work is manageable right now, so the needles have been clicking away. I finished up the Clockwork Shawl. I chose this pattern to knit for the Arrow Acres Summer KAL. I'm running the knit-a-long and thought it would be fun to participate. The rules were to knit something "summery" which basically meant anything that is not a heavy sweater or gigantic woolen blanket. Shawls, socks, etc...

I knitted this shawl using yarn from Marigold Jen. I purchased it at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival this year. 

We had a few cool days and I actually got to wear it a bit with a t-shirt. Love how light it is!

I also decided to be a little more prepared with my Christmas gift knitting this year.

So I casted on another Samen shawl.

I'm calling this my Noah's Ark shawl. The shawl is a combination of yarns held two together throughout. All yarn was from my stash and the list of fibers is long!

This shawl contains:

Alpaca sock yarn by Cascade

hand dyed alpaca yarn (dyed by Liz)

merino MadelinTosh dk

Anzula squishy merion/silk

Shibui pebble merino/silk

Fiber mill yarn: silk, baby camel, yak

Now i have to block it and put it away until Christmas. Hopefully I'll remember where I put it!

I'm reading The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. It's a surprising book because it's nothing like I had expected. I'm just about done and curious to see how it ends.

Joining in with Ginny again this week for the yarn along!
