Hi! Long time, no blog. At the end of July I lost any motivation for designing and making in general, and then my family had Covid at the start of August and then we spent the rest of the month preparing for Maisie’s 2nd birthday party. I pretty much traded knitting/crocheting with reading – I read NINE books…NINE. That’s a lot for me and you can see what I read here.

Anyways, its been forever and it’s time to get back to it and I’m going to start with the Ridge Mini Shawl that has been finished for a few months.

The Ridge Mini Shawl is a mix between an asymmetrical triangle shawl and cowl made with knits and purls that create beautiful ridges with a picot bind off. It is the perfect light neck accessory for all seasons and uses 231 yards of dk weight yarn, 1 hank of Made By Hailey Bailey Classic DK. (Here’s a similar colorway.)
