June 2016 - September 2016 Completed Projects


Tri-Color Cowl - pattern is 3 Color Cashmere Cowl by JOJI Locatelli, and yarn is Shibui Staccato purchased from the Yarn Attic.




Multnomah scarf - Done Roving Stepping Out and pattern from Ravelry. Purchased yarn at The Yarn Diva during the 2014 NJ Wool Walk.




Dallas Top - Classic Elite Aruba. Pattern from Metro Knits (Classic Elite pattern book). Both Both from The Yarn Attic.









Peloton Wrap - Yarn is I Knit or Dye (This is the Sea) from I Knit London (a gift). Pattern from Ravelry by Natalie Servant. Knitted this while watching the 2016 Tour de France.






Hestors Cowl - Madeline Tosh Vintage & pattern from Lori Versaci. Knitted this as a sample for The Yarn Attic, for a Brioche class.


Crofthoose Hat - Pattern is from 2016 Shetland Wool Festival. Designed by Ella Gordon. It's a free pattern on Ravelry via the Shetland Wool Festival website. The pattern calls for Jamieson Spindrift, but I used Classic Elite Vail and Villa. The hat came out rather small, because the yarn is thinner than Jamieson's; so I'm going to knit it up again using Jamieson Spindrift.



Cool Hemp Ponchette - Pattern is on Ravelry by Lana Hames. Yarn is Rowan Panama. Purchased the yarn from Wool & Grace in Summit NJ at the 2014 NJ Wool Walk. Originally intended to make another poncho, but abandoned it in favor of this one. Very pleased with the result!


Noro Entrelac Bag - Noro Wheel and Noro Summer 2016 magazine (sample for the Yarn Attic)







Swedish Gradient Hat - The pattern is from Meg Swansen (Schoolhouse Press). It calls for Schoolhouse Swedish Gradient yarn and their Icelandic wool, but I used Schoppel Wool's Gradient and some Morehouse Merino (in off white) that I had in my stash. Two hats can be made from Schoppel's Gradient. The second one uses Malabrigo Merino in dark blue as the contrast.



Cable Brioche Cowl - Pattern is a free one from Plymouth. I saw it advertised in one of the knitting magazines, and looked it up on Ravelry. The yarn is Plymouth Gina , and Zen Garden Serenity Worsted (green solid). the pictures show each side, since brioche creates a reversible fabric.
 

Another Crofthoose Hat - The free pattern from Shetland Wool Week. This time, made out of Jamieson's Spindrift.
