@Fiberrachel had a sale on her project bags recently, this is the one I got. Isn't it cute?! In this picture, I'm also showing the inside, because the bag is reversible! 😃

With this project almost finished, I figured it to be a good idea to also finish up an older, languishing design project: Waveline! To be continued... 😉

Do you know the the left slanting diagonal rib pattern? It works well as all-over patterning, and as an alternative for regular rib as finishing for hems and sleeves 😃

My La Rentree sweater is finished! I still have to wash it, so it's a tad wrinkly, but I'm very happy with it 😃

Zuurstok is blocking, and the pattern is with my technical editor. I expect I can put out the call for testing in a week or 2. So, if you're interested, stay tuned for the post about it 😃

My Beat the Fug shawl was inspired by the “Free-Wrench” novel by Joseph R. Lallo and the yarn by Third Vault Yarns. It perfectly catches the steampunk vibe of the story 😃

With this project, I've been knitting along. At the moment there is nothing more to do, than just get more knitting in, until the shawl is large enough 😃

The end of knitting this textured patterning is in sight. So I should really start working out my pattern for the puffed sleeves 😄
