Knit + Art

How can I not post this lovely print from Ashley Goldberg? It is way too adorable. Found in her Etsy shop.

Teal is my new love

Pantone, the color authority, published the fall color trends on their website. I fell in love with the teal. It was love at first sight. I am infatuated and no shame about it. Just two days ago I tried to convince TH that I would use my stash before buying any yarn. I wonder if he remembers that conversation. He was watching the Falcons game after all.

What's on my imaginary shopping cart? Teal and more teal:

• Cascade Yarn, 220 Wool in color #9419
• Malabrigo, Rasta in color #412 Teal Feather
• Noro Yarn, Quintet in color #31
• Brown Sheep Yarn, Lamb's Pride in color #M215 Tormented Teal
• Knit Picks, Wool of Andes in color Spruce

I am sure there is a whole world of teal yarn out there but it would be perverse to keep going. It's time to pick up my purple yarn.

Blueberry waffle

The waffle scarf is on my needles. Is an easy pattern perfect for couch potato days. My only headaches are a dropped stitch and the curling sides. Some knitters have added a boarder to fix this. All I want is now is pick the stitch, watch Project Runway and finish this. Is not going to curl if I do not finish it!
