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 😃

There is only one more increase round to go, and than I can start the ribbing. Do you see how lovely those increases and decreases look at the sides of the garment?

With Zuurstok, I expected that I could get another repeat out of the remaining yarn. Well, after working that repeat, I still had 18.7 gram left! Enough to work another 12 rows, and a bind-off 😃
