Knitting when not sewingThis is the latest progress of my Clapotis – it is not ready but it will soon be.

I love the colour and each row makes me appreciate it even more. It is something I can hardly believe, as I really loved it at the every beginning of this knit. LOL

The special thing about this project and pattern is, it is transforming with every new section. I love the purl columns too. May think of a diagonal purl blanket in the future…

Knitting pure wool in hot weather may seem strange. It feels good though – no pressure to finish and still great chances to finish it just  in time for July-August night by the sea.

I started new woll slippers too today – part of the World Wide Knit in Public Day.

The pictures below show my latest knitting love – little needle jewelries.

World Wide knit in public dayI was part of it today! Yay! It is the second knit in public event in Bulgaria this year, as far as I know and I think the first in Varna.

It was not huge. Just a nice gathering of a few women, chatting, knitting and crocheting, with mini workshops, yarn discussions and mall talk near the sea.

I am happy I was there – met lovely people, learned new things, got inspired.

It was an adventure as I had a bare foot walk today as part of the event. Pretty unexpected, but it felt good.

Check the nearest Knit in public event around and join if you can. It is fun!

new yarn for a clapotisThis is the shawl that made me knit last year. Well, it was not only because I loved the way it looked, but also the drape and colour, and softness… made me want to knit one.

So I started one a few days ago. It will be a big and heavy one – almost 250-300g, I think. But it will be warm.

I am knitting with two strands. This gives the fabric very interesting sheen and texture.

Here is one of the threads. The other is pure wool.

Mitts!

Latest knitting - mitts - my design I am knitting these at the moment.

The 3rd pair of mitts ever. Not officially obsession yet. But who knows… it might soon be…

I sort of made all the design decisions on the way. Love the first one. Now making the second. Hope it is all done today!
