Cool linen in taupes and blues just speak of lazy summer days. A lazy spring weekend yielded a completed gauge swatch and the beginning of a summer sweater. The swatch was actually started at Thursday knitting but did not progress far as my hands were to busy shoveling salty snacks into my open mouth, and the slippery Addi turbos that I had with me did not make linen knitting particularly enjoyable.
Once I got home and switched needles however, this project became pure joy.
My next project was one that I wanted to be simple and mindless, although I am seriously considering another simultaneous projects for those times when I am capable of actually focusing my attentions rather than sitting dumbly and letting my fingers mindlessly do the work. This project was supposed to be simple stockinette. It is double moss stitch, still easy-peasy compared to the tedious rice stitch of the last project.
I am knitting a project that has been in my stash for a few years, it leapt out at me as I was searching for a potential yarn for some other dreamed-of sweater.
The pattern is by Ram Wools the yarn is Euroflax Linen in the colors pictured. Summer days await.
Looks like you switched to Lantern Moon rosewood needles? I've got quite a bit of Euroflax, in the sport weight, and didn't even think about not being able to knit it on the addis.
Thanks for the headsup. Hoping the papercut heals fast.

Were you shovelling snacks? Hmmm...I didn't notice. I guess my hand (stuffing my face) blocked my vision.

I love this pattern Mardel, and it looks like you, too. Linen knitting is the perfect summer project.
