Greetings faithful blog readers!  I’ve been getting bad about updating again, so sorry!  My initial plan, begun in my last post, was to post my smoothie recipe from every morning.  That lasted about two days until I realized that my smoothie recipe is always 1 tub of yogurt, a couple pieces of whatever fruit I have on hand, some honey, and a bit of juice.  Voila, smoothie!  My fave so far is probably mango strawberry.  Yum!

At any rate, I’ve got a couple of new knits to show off.  I’ve been focused more on designing lately, so my output has slowed down a bit.  But I do have some exciting news on that front–this Winter I’m going to have a sweater design featured in a major publication.  More on that after I get my contract and find out what exactly I’m allowed to disclose.

First up:

Pattern: Cecilia, designed by my friend Elin Berglund.
Yarn: Wollmeise 100% sockenwolle in Neptun

Perfect little cropped sweater for summer dress weather!

I’ve been big on little Summer sweaters that I can layer over dresses lately, which was the inspiration for my next sweater as well:

Pattern: Wispy, by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: Sundara sock in Flaming Flamingo

Loved how quick of a knit this one was!

And the spinning has continued as well:

Pigeonroof SW Merino in Emperor:

Pigeonroof SW Merino/Silk in Blueberry Tart:

Freckle Face Fibers SW Merino in “Lady of the Lake” (or as I call it, “Watery Tart”)

Freckle Face Fibers Merino in Gold Leaf:

FLUFF South African Fine Merino in “Cape Town”:

And then I finished up the second half of a couple of older braids of fiber–this first one, FLUFF South African Fine in Amandla, shows how far my n-plying has come since my first attempt:

And then this is the second half of my Hello Yarn Finn in “Winter Storage”, which I think is probably the most perfect yarn I’ve ever spun:
