On The Wall:

Pattern- Marled Magic Shawl

Designer- Stephen West

FO’s

Pattern- Tolsta Tee
Designer- Rebecca Clow
Yarn- Drops Muscat – Colour-15
Needles- 4.00mm & 5.00mm ChiaoGoo Interchangables

So for my 2nd Tolsta I decided to go up a size for more ease and to add bands of eyelets and stockinette.

I started with a folded neckband which was 10 rows and then folded and knitted together with the next row. I then did the short rows as per the pattern.

The eyelets are worked as follows:

Work 6 repeats of:
Row 1 – YO , K2Tog
Row 2-4 – Knit.

Stockintette bands are 24 rows each.

I finished the body with 1×1 ribbing for 10 rows.

The sleeves are knit in stockinette then the folded hem is knit using the smaller needles.

Pattern- Strawberry Cheesecake Socks (Ravelry Link)
Designer- Debbie Ford
Yarn- Adventures in Yarncraft
Needles- 2.25mm ChiaoGoo Red Lace (fixed)

This is a lovely pattern and yarn combo. the yarn is so deliciously soft and the pattern so fun, i even enjoyed the heel flap and gusset!
