The new IK mag
Have you seen the summer IK preview on IK’s website? http://www.interweaveknits.com/
A lot of colorwork, which is not for me - yet.
But I like the green lace section, and I will add three of them to my queue:
- Eyelet surplice dress (this only if I will loose enough weight to wear a dress)
- Leaf kimono top: definitely. I even have the yarn for this. That long-time bought green cotton. I have a lot of that, so I’m sure it will be enough. This is going to be the next after I finish my drop-stitch cardi. And this will be my first lace project.
- Apres surf hoodie: If I can figure out how to make it without the hood.
I also like the Plaid halter, and the Roped shell. I will wait for the magazine to see how difficult they are, and I might give them a try.
Great news: Nonakednecks from Etsy had a sale for Mother’s Day. I had two items in my cart from them, and immediately I bought them. Two beautiful rings, with huge, sparkling stones. Some serious bling.
A swiss blue topaz. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Prasiolite (green amethyst). Beautiful.
I have a weekness for oversized sterling silver rings. I bought a beautiful green calcedony ring from them a few months ago, and since then I check in to see what new they’ve got, quite often.
This is it. My favourite ring of all times.
