Friday Evening

Friday nights 'round here are not too exciting
but are productive in my knitting realm.
X  X  X  X  X  X
Worked on a couple of projects.

*  *  *  *  *  *
This is Honey Cowl in Malabrigo Worsted Azules

 

So much fun to knit even with the larger needle.  
Am lovin' the rolled edge.  Usually not a good thing when the stockinette edge curls.  
Most times we begin a scarf or cowl with a ribbed bit to counteract the curling.  
This time it's making a wonderfully soft edge for this cozy cowl.  
Lovin' it ! ! ! 



Also, worked on Intagliata Henley for a while, too.
The Madelinetosh yarn so beautiful ♥ ♥ ♥ 
This is my first pullover and I'm here to tell you - - -I'm anxious about the project.
Big undertaking.
When I think about all the measurements to take into consideration.
~ ~  << my worried brows.

The color is wonderful to work with and 
should be an easy one for me to wear.
Now, fingers crossed that it holds up to my expectations.

If not, Hey ! ! ! , it's only yarn.

Tea time ! ! ! ! 
must pour,
set the timer,
and wait for the brew.
Time for a cuppa Chai


See my Tea Toter with my Chai ?
It's for my purse tea bag stash.
Took just a short time to make.
Great left-over stash buster and excellent for gifting.
I was put on to this cute project by a sweet friend who saw it on The Knit Girllls podcast

^V^V^V^V^V^

All three of these patterns are wonderful, each in their own respect.
If you're a little bit interested, just follow those links I put up there for ya.
A couple of the patterns are free ! ! ! ! 
Let me know what you think.

  2. Sounds like you and I are doing the exact same thing! I have been knitting away on my Abigail and drinking lots of tea, just getting ready to start the ribbing. Lots of rain falling here, hooray! Thanks for the tea cozy link, might try to whip up a few tomorrow.
    I can't wait to see your pullover, you my dear, are a master knitter and I know it will be great!
    Much love.

    1. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my knitting ability, Tracey.
      Love the idea of knitting sweaters from the top down, so why did I pick a bottom up for my first? Am loving the entire procedure of planning it and knitting it - and, of course, re-knitting it.
      Your Abigail will be wearable while mine will be at the starting gate.
      But, that's okay. It'll get there.

  8. Thanks for the great pattern links, Gerry. I LOVE the Honey Cowl pattern and have favorited it in Ravelry. And that tea envelope is adorable! Nice way to use up leftover yarn.

    Malabrigo is one of my favorite yarns to knit with.

    1. Thanks for visiting Stacy. So happy to have you drop by and find a thing or two interesting about my Friday night post.
      Since then I've made progress on the Honey Cowl and am at the half-way mark with the yarn, the Intagliata has been ripped back. Am going to co again and get a flying start this time.
      The tea bag pouches are quick and make cute envelopes that we can re-purpose them to hold other goodies.
      Seems as though my Stash has several Malabrigo yarns - Rios has caught my attention lately. Trying not to buy one of each colorway LOL
