Mix Tape Tee blocking
Disclaimer : I accidentally missed the second increase and decrease in the front stripes. I just did the front exactly like the back, but it still fits by the neck okay!

Just finished a folded hat in Mudita. An alpaca/merino blend by Quenti Alpaca - a dk, knit up in 4mm, used HiyaHiya flyers for the crown decreases. Such a glorious yarn - my new fav.

Mix tape tee
Finished knitting it today. Shoulders to seam tomorrow then wash and block.
Quickest garment knit ever.
And I read 11 books whilst knitting this.

Adding kid mohair or kid silk to a project. Just hits different. Like cinnamon on coffee, or marshmallows in hot chocolate, fruit in your gin, or a sprig of mint on your dessert.
Yummo.

When customers inspire me with their knitwear! Cowgirlblues olive and celadon - an unusual (for me) pairing which looks so good.
Disclaimer: sweater is store bought but we matched colours as closely as possible. Nice, very nice, combo.

I’ve been teaching and growing this mitred square blanket since 2016! So it’s ten years old this year and probably one of my most asked for lessons. I’ll be teaching a fresh class in October (book at www.beinspired.africa) - beginners welcome. Also socialites and long timers of the mitred square also welcome to join in. I’ve updated the edges to make a neater pick up and join and will include a new pattern card with the class. Some of the class fee is returned in shop credit to spend on the day, tea/coffee and cake included. Always a good way to spend a Saturday!
I just added the new Himalaya bamboo self striping yarn - love self striping because several blocks and they all look different from one ball.
