Weavers Guild of St. Louis Sale Oct. 29 & 30, 2021 & Recent Items
After a pause in 2020, the Weavers Guild of St. Louis will hold its annual sale on Friday, October 29 and Saturday, October 30, 2021. Link to more info: https://weaversguildstl.org/annual-guild-sale I will have items in this year's sale, including shawls and wraps, crocheted purses, and fingerless mitts. Here are some photos of recent items. The first three pics are of items that will be in the sale. The items that follow won't be in the sale but are similar to some that will be:
Second Piper Project
A second project in the works - Piper laceweight from Quince & Co. Super soft and nice to knit with.
Gift yarn from Quince & Co.
Just completed this shawl for myself. The yarn was a gift and is a single ply heavy lace weight wool/mohair yarn - Piper from Quince & Co. The yarn is a pleasure to knit with. I have some left and will use it for another project. The pattern is an adaptation of the Odyssey Shawl by Joji Locatelli .
Stranded Knitting - Took a Class
Earlier this month I took a 3-session virtual class with Ann Konzen on knitting stranded mittens. I learned a whole lot - I had never done stranded knitting before, and this was the impetus I needed to try it. The pattern I used is Hedgerow Fingerless Mittens and this is the second pair of this pattern that I've made. The yarn is something I had on hand but is discontinued - Cloudborn brand alpaca/wool/silk in a fingering weight. More pics:
Porcupine stitch lace & fingerless mitts
Posting a few pics of recent items. I have used this stitch before - it comes from the Barbara Walker Second Treasury. The longer pair of fingerless mitts/gauntlets is a modified version of a pattern found in the book Rustic Modern Knits . The yarns used for these items are S. Charles Ritratto (the purple with the sparkle) and Filature Lanarota Fashion Toes, a sock yarn. (The multi-color fingerless mitts on top of the purple shawl are knit from Noro Taiyo sock yarn.) The Porcupine Lace pattern is very stretchy and blocks larger than you would expect.
