A Little Summer Knitting


I decided I needed a break from knitting the heavy Wool-Aid sweater (I am almost done with the first sleeve, one more sleeve and some waist ribbing to go) and I have been missing my neckerchief since I felted my 198 Yards of Heaven shawl so I scrounged around on Ravelry until I found The Age of Brass and Steam in my library of PDFs. As I looked into my yarn bin, two balls of yarn happened to be next to one another and looked great so I plucked them out and spent Sunday knitting.
I like the results, and the soft cotton blend yarns are perfect for providing a tiny bit of warmth when that part of me gets a bit chilled in a Michigan early summer.
I may make another one in wool or alpaca for late fall and winter...
(The stripes are my own version, the original pattern is solid colored)
