FOs and WIPs

I finished my Seaside Tee by Cheryl Mokhtari!!

I am usually a loose knitter but for mine, I used 3.5 mm needles for the main body instead of the recommended 3.75 mm, 3.0 mm needles for cuff and hem ribbing, and 2.5 mm needless for the neck ribbing.

I love the different shoulder shaping that Cheryl used.

I started some new clothes for a Julie Williams / Little Cotton Rabbits bunny. This is the Dungarees and the Deep Lace Border dress from the Textured Dress Pattern. I have been using all of my leftover Bergere de France Ideal from all of the bunnies that I have made.

I finished the new clothes and started a new Bunny in a dotty dress.

KNIT GROUP AND GALLERY

Marilyn knit these two Mod Knit T-Shirts by Jessica Reeves Potasz (Mama in a Stitch).

She knit this one using her yarn held double with Queensland Collection Dungarees Paint.

Marilyn's second Mod Knit T-Shirt was knit ussing her yarn held double with Rico Creative Make It Tweed.

Can you see the tweedy texture?

Allyson is an avid art yarn spinner who kept getting asked what she was going to do with it all so she made this stunning sampler! This is the back...

This is the front! Isn't it great??

Here is a sample of Allyson’s hand spun art yarn.
