Are you familiar with Russian grafting in garter stitch? It's a method of joining live stitches together, and a quick and easy method for finishing off your knitted piece 😃

In Texel, I also got these lovely skeins of undyed, worsted weight wool yarn. I was thinking to perhaps dye these yellow or olive with onion skins 😃

When I was at Texel last month, I also visited Texelana to purchase some yarn from those Texel sheep. This giant 200 g skein of fingering weight wool will make a lovely shawl some day! 😃

There are many ways to join two pieces of knitted fabric together. Whip stitch or overcast seaming, a pretty basic and fast to work seaming technique 😃

Last week, I came across these balls of sock yarn. They seem to be perfect for a sweater that can lift the mood when it's cold and dreary outside 😃

With a shawl finished, I can start a new project! For example, with this lovely kid silk yarn I got in London earlier this year. What about an all-over lace triangle? 😃

Short rows are a very handy way to create shaping in knitted fabric. I like German short rows, because they’re invisible in the resulting fabric, and very easy to work 😃

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! 😃
