The perfect Fall knit for the perfect fall day!

I am working on a Frame Your Face Cowl by DreaReneeKnits using September’s Color of the Month, Patchwork, paired with Concord from my featured collection on Plush DK.

Reporting in on my Temperature blanket- it is happening! Since my original post with my color inspiration, I have been organizing, planning, and gathering information. This week I finally caked up all the yarn and got to it!

There is not a lot to see yet and I’ll be back soon with more details….i was just so excited that I started and wanted to share!

For my color of the month project I am making a Frame Your Face Cowl by DreaReneeKnits! I wanted to stick with the quilt these since this months colorway is called Patchwork! I am using Plush DK for this project and pairing Patchwork with Concord for maximum contrast.

I think this is going to be such a cute fall accessory!

Patchwork is available all month long on Plush DK, Nimble Sock, and Plush Single!

Frame Your Face is available on Ravelry or Andrea Mowry’s Website.

I finished my Veiga this week! This was one of those patterns where you’re already thinking about the next one you’re going to make. Such a fun and interesting knit and I LOVE the color play! I will for sure be making another one!

New to intarsia? This would be a great project to try!

The pattern is Veiga by Tejer en inglés and is available on Ravelry.

I used Cottage Fi*****ng in Forest, Bone, Euphorbia, and Hyssop.

I spent a glorious morning on the schooner J&E Riggin this morning with Bristol Ivy’s Maine Knitting Cruise! I intended to take lots of pictures for a fun reel but I instead I chatted with all the knitters! 🫣 if knitting and sailing and eating delicious food on the Maine coast is your jam- you should really look into this event for next year! Thanks for having me Bristol Ivy, knitwear designer and Schooner J. & E. Riggin | 1927!

Fourth color update! Some of you all wanted to see what I chose for the last color segment so here it is…. Good thing I did too because it wasn’t until I looked at this picture that I found TWO big ol’mistakes! Can you spot them? I’ll give you a second…

Answer: two of the green stripes are only 2 rows instead of 4.

Looks like I’ll be ripping back a bit! If I can easily fudge a mistake without changing the integrity of the design then I sure will. But if the mistake will hurt the finished knit, I’ll be fixing it. In this case, missing a row in two of the stripe sequences will mean my decreases happened too soon, making this side of the shawl shorter than the other. No biggie, I’ll rip it back this afternoon so I’m set up for my evening knitting.

But also, take pictures of your knits friends- it’s helps to create a new perspective. I would not have caught that otherwise!

(Check a couple of post downs for pattern details- the post is too long to post here)

I present to you my finished Grain Shawl! This was such a fun quick knit and honestly I love the size and drape. I matched my colors and stripes to the sample in the original design because I loved it so much- but you can easily play with color and size with this design. Perfect for newer knitters or if you’re looking to use up some leftovers!

The pattern is Grain by Alexa and Emily and is available on Ravelry. I knit mine in Hades, Lichen, Abalone, and Forage on Plush DK.
