ravelry and instagram roundup
As I write, we are experiencing a few beach-worthy, warm, sunny days. But next week, we could all be raiding the Quince sample garment archive to stave off an early morning chill. Such is the volatile climate of late summer/early fall in Maine. A great reason to always have knitting at the ready--for warming laps and keeping chilled fingers moving.
The designs I see on Ravelry are getting progressively woollier, which always makes me happy. Owl, Owl Tweet, and Lark get a lot of love right now, but there is also a lot going on with the lighter transitional yarns, especially Chickadee. There's plenty more than what I've posted here--there are great new designs by Allison Jane, Erika Flory, Benjamin Krudwig, Megan Goodacre (here and here), and NellKnits, definitely check them out.
