featherweight




Well, this is what has kept me out of trouble during the last throws of Summer and I think I may have got the timing just about right. Early mornings are taking on quite an Autumnal air now, although not yet cool enough for jackets, coats or thick jumpers even. By midday, the temperature is back up to a healthy late Summer heat and yet another reason why this easy to put on/take off knit is perfect.

I love it. I also love that Featherweight gave me the opportunity to try Quince & Co's yarn, for which I made a pilgrimage to Loop when we were in London during July. This yarn is very nice, let me tell you and I'm also quite pleased with myself for managing to knit a colour, albeit it one I've already turned to recently. Doh! A few thoughts and more pics of my Featherweight is on Ravelry, right here.

The children are back to their first full week of school (all well so far, touch wood), the house is pretty much sorted aside from wall space needing pictures and storage to be thought through for all my fabrics. Crikey, there's a task and a half, there is SO much of it, it's crazy. There is also sewing to be done. Ooh, how I love this time of year!

So, that's pretty much my agenda .. what's on yours?

  4. Such a beautiful, simple but elegant cardigan. Love the colour too, not too shouty but more of a statement than blue or grey (which is what I usually wear).

  8. Your styling of your knits is always impeccable. Which is a good thing considering how deserving that beautiful knit is.

  9. It looks lovely, and perfect with that dress. And as Andi says ... you style things impeccably. No idea what's on my agenda ... I'm feeling a little lost in the long grass at the moment.

  10. Too beautiful indeed Kate, your talent for knitting never ceases to amaze me. Its all of a sudden got nippy here too, I have goosebumps after not having them for quite some time. I am trying my best to stick to Wip's and to finish my scrappy cardigan before real Autumn sets in xxx Penny

  11. Beautiful photoshoot Kate. Everything you make is stunning.
    So glad the kiddos are settling in and all is good on the home front. We will be wearing cardis and tights as soon as this unexpected heat wave passes (it was over 30 degrees in Toronto today).
