Paired up some Suburban Stitcher yarn purchased at zk2017 with a pattern by my friend Megan, Summer Shandy.
Cast on provisionally so I could add extra length from my extra yarn. Added gussets under the arms for more spaciousness. Accidentally stopped doing one of the sets of rows in the pattern, so it did not grow as quickly as it should have! Added sleeves.
Completed while zk2021 was going on from home.

A small clutch that needs lining and hardware still. Seed stitch edges with a slight cable. 2/24: The knitted fabric blocked wonderfully straight. Leslie provided some slightly modern fabric with the same green in it. May need a black cord for the top where the fabric meets the hardware. Finished lining and stitching up, July…
Tripling the yarn on size 9 needles to make for a nice fabric but not too heavy. It took me a while to start because I had to wind 440 yards x 3 into balls by hand! Finished, November 28. I used the Drop Scarf pattern, but modified it to make the scarf longer, doing…
Finally using one of the sock summit yarns I loved. I think this pattern will make these socks usable in my new Danskos. I got 10st/in and am re-kajiggering things to make that work. must weight remainder yarn to see how much was really left. Pattern was delightful, once I adjusted for my gauge. Yarn…
