This Week's Stitch and Chats

Karine joined Stitch and Chat at Westport Yarns, for the first time. She is knitting the Miette Cardigan with yarn from Pigeonroof Studios. The yarn is absolutely stunning up close and personal. This colorway is really rich and totally brings the sweater to life.
Here are Michelle and my Abrazo Shawlettes. She knit hers with Lobster Pot fingering weight yarn and I knit mine with Sereknity Silk & Linen lace yarn. Between my looser knitting and the thinner yarn, they are really not easy to compare. We'll have to compare them after they are blocked.
Michelle started knitting the Violeta cardigan from The Mirasol Collection Book Ten: The Little Book of Nuna Cardigans. She is really enjoying knitting with the Nuna yarn and her stitch definition is wonderful.

Today I met up with Elizabeth and Lois.
Elizabeth found a cache of unfinished projects and brought her Licorice Stick socks to restart; the yarn is Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock. (Her sock is pink, the photo above is from the Ravelry pattern page - I experienced technical difficulties with the photo I took.)

Lois used a three-needle bind-off to seam the shoulders of her lace shell. She only has the sleeve and neck borders to complete and she is done! Then she can dive into fall knitting!
