Gothic Flamingo is a shallow, triangle scarf, knit sideways. My version is knit in an aran weight yarn, but it's wonderfully suited to be worked in other yarn weights

StarStrong was so sweet to test knit my latest design: Blauwe Branding. She used various colors of @Knitpicks Stroll fingering weight yarn. The border is a bit less deep than mine, because of yarn restraints. No matter, it’s really gorgeous as it is!

With this project, I’m making progress. Here, you can see how the piece looks after one full repeat of the patterning
I was shooting some pictures of projects, and Pimento decided that this was - of course - the best place to plant his hairy butt

In one of my to be published shawl designs, I use this M5 increase. So, time for a new tutorial to show you how it's done

The new stitch pattern that I worked out for the border requires a different number of stitches. So, I knit a couple of more rows to get the stitch count up to the new number. Ready to start the new patterning!
Another rep of the patterning has been worked, but it isn't going very fast. There are now 261 stitches per row, that's quite a lot of knitting!
It turns out that the patterning I chose for the border is particularly hard to fit into the asymmetrical shape of this shawl. So, frogging and back to the drawing board.... to be continued!
Update on Kanarie: I corrected my grading spreadsheet and cast on again. Onwards!
Oreo has rediscovered his box!
As you can see, with my Zaanse Mosterd shawl, there has been some more progress. Once blocked, it will be so pretty!
And the first sock of the pair is done! Time to start the next one
I've measured the now dry shoulder piece and determined that there are indeed some significant changes needed....

#ArrabbiataTheCat Loves to lounge in this spot in the garden. I think she has even killed the plants that were growing there! Have a lovely Monday!
I have started the border patterning! I did find some issues in my chart for the second set of 8 rows in the repeat. But, I expect that it won't be very eventful to fix
Sock progress! Have a lovely Friday!
