Here’s what I’ve loved in knitting this week…

I’m yet to knit a garment with linen yarn but it’s something I want to do! I’ve been inspired by a recent post by

Emese-Réka Fromm
…

She shares her summer tops knitted with linen yarn. They’re delightful and I love the tips she has for working with linen.

And look at these gorgeous Scandinavian fingerless gloves

Amy
made for her Mum! I love what she says here about how much her Mum treasures the knits Amy has gifted her over the years:

“Whenever I try to persuade her to part with ugly, badly fitting or poorly made gifts from years gone by, she clutches them to her bosom and tears up, whilst uttering aghast, ‘but you MADE it’.”

And now… onwards to your weekly What To Knit Next issue!

👀 Last week’s top knitting inspiration: Umaro Textured Throw



This week’s knitting ideas you can't miss…



Charmingly contemporary.

The Elbe shawl’s clean, modern aesthetic makes it an eye-catching addition to any wardrobe. The rib check stitch creates texture and the cabled eyelet lace border adds a touch of elegance, making it as fun to create as it is to wear.


Harlequin checks.

A fun, gorgeous shawl by Ambah O’Brien that's mostly simple to knit.

The Columbina shawl starts with garter rows, but the middle has a two-color mosaic section with a picot edge.

It's great for bold, contrasting colors and comes in two sizes. The shaping is straightforward with simple increases and decreases and the result is stunning!

Wrap up with vibrance.

A sizeable kite-shaped wrap with a clever use of increases and decreases.

This is for those of you who love to work with color. There are plenty of resources to help you choose your colors included with the design.


Dumbledore’s army.

Jocelyn Peters
says this about her gorgeous design:

“These top-down socks incorporate simple lace, gorgeous faux cables, and a reinforced heel to create a pretty and fun tribute to some of my favorite Harry Potter characters.”
