Summer cotton bamboo top

We haven't had any real summer this year but nevertheless I knitted cotton bamboo top. Unfortunately rather dodgy photos as I seem to be missing all the daylight lately and have no chance to set up good photo session.

Top features extra width that adds drape to it. Feels very soft, silky and drapey. Knitted in the round with stitches picked up from neckband. I enjoyed knitting it and hopefully will enjoy wearing it. Next year maybe :)

Pink and brown dress - done!

Finished this on Dec 31st and pics (except the last photo) are taken in our backyard just before we left the house to go see fireworks. For some reasons this dress is a hit and little girl has literally lived in it for a past few days as she really loves it.

Next day I added little snowflake embellishment on front as seen on the last picture. Maybe will add some more as per request (constantly repeated!) of dress owner.

Lace top in Raspberry red

I have knitted quite a few of these tops in different sizes and spent last couple days trying to write down pattern. I can see happy end for this one. Written part is pretty much done, I have to finish charts with all small details to pay attention to, and check maths.

Here are some pics of this top in gorgeous red shade.

Green linen summer shawl

I have had this finished for a while but somehow never got to posting pictures. Knitted loose fabric scarf in linen and viscose blend, very lightweight, breezy and summer-feel-like. I tried several different ways how to wear it and accidently found it to be of perfect length for wrap. Though I don't have pictures of wrap-tie style yet. Probably I will knit another piece of softer wool yarn to make cosy wrap.

 

Yellow breezy top for a little girl

This is a version of drop stitch sweater adult version. Size 4 in sunflower yellow and short sleeved is just about right for those hot summer nights.

New summer new yellow dress

To celebrate the arrival of summer I managed to finish this yellow dress. It is a bit longish right now. Good to know that kids grow fast :)

Crocheted spring hat

I tried to crochet spring hat using yarn that has been in my stash for almost a year now, Ornaghi Filati 100% cotton Malaga . I never know how to use multi colour yarn, especially variegated or self striping with short colour step.

Sea breeze summer cardigan

Small summer short sleeved cardigan. I knitted it sideways in short rows with organic cotton.

Twirly cotton summer dress

A little bit too late for this summer but finally finished this cotton dress. It was quite boring and time consuming project knit in the round in stockinette stitch. I used it for company knitting or on road trips because it required almost no attention. There were more than 400 stitches in final rounds. Nevertheless little girl loves it because it twirls beautifully. And that's all that matters :)

Lovely cotton yarn from Bendigo Wooden Mills in colour Honeydew.

Summer memories

Once upon a time it was warm, sunny and shiny down there. In contrast to -3 C as of this morning :)
