It’s woven, no, it’s knitted, add a little color and use up those small balls of yarn, spring has sprung, and a geometrical maze in colorwork.
A cast-off for keeping things sturdy, high-fashion knitted inspiration, bind off the braided way, complex math through the simple knitted stitch.

Before we begin…
Revolutionize your crafting with an all-in-one organizer!
Paula Carol has created and patented the Knitting Needle Holder™. It’s a clever design for an organizer for all your knitting needles, tools, and notions.
As she writes:
“The perfect Knitting Needles Holder ™ not only takes up little space but also features separate compartments, so you can easily find what you need and identify the size of each needle by colored tag. The set comes with durable plastic tags to identify needle size as well as accessory bags for your stitch markers, measuring tape, and more. It can be mounted easily on your craft wall or back of most doors.”

Now for this week’s knitworthy ideas…
Sneaky little stashbusters.
These socks are just the no-fuss stashbusters you need for wearing sneakers.
As the sample demonstrates, it’d look lovely in a simple heathered yarn with solid-color heels and toes, but its beauty is in its flexibility.
It’s lines all the way down.
This elegant and unique cardigan reminds me of a slowly changing sunrise, or sunset. As the designer, Suvi Knits, writes:
“This design was completely inspired by colors! As soon as I saw those three skeins together, I knew there will be some stripes. In this case, cool looking blending stripes. Blue blends into yellow and yellow blends into green, resulting in a striping that gives each color its turn to shine.”
An at home project.
A blanket of interlocking houses. This geometric design is a great stashbuster!
Delicate moons captured in lace.
This beautiful, slightly open lace shawl is lovely!
I love how feminine and elegant it is. As the finished project is large with plenty of drape, the wearing possibilities are endless.
As written in the description:
“In a classic Milanese lace pattern, this beauty is deceptively simple to work, with just 10 rows of single-stitch increases and decreases. We love the striking diagonal ridges interspersed with rows of lacy crescents, delicate but assertive!”
