Weekend Favorites

What a gorgeous morning it is here in New Jersey! I’m sitting here enjoying some leftover Wineberry Crisp for breakfast. I’ve got all of the windows open, and a lovely breeze is flowing through. I wasn’t going to post Weekend Favorites today – I usually write it on Thursday nights, and I hadn’t gotten around to it last night – but this morning just feels like a “sitting on the bed sipping coffee, listening to the cicadas, and blogging” kind of morning.

Links

Here are a few interesting things from around the web that grabbed me this week:

  • Loom knit scarf of many colors – made by naneliz2, via Ravelry. This is one beautiful cowl! Even I, who is (who am?) always saying the knitting looms can produce work as lovely as needles, am super impressed by this. What an intriguing stitch pattern, and the yarn is just perfect.
  • felted sweater blanket – an upcycling project from r e c o v e r g i r l. This wool sweater blanket is so beautiful and colorful, and I bet it’s very warm as well.
  • Kitchen Dyeing – an experiment shared by Cozy Things. I love the idea of dying yarn with flowers and other things found in nature. I have yet to try it, but Kristen did, and she shared her results here.

I hope you’re having a pleasant morning where you are, too!

* I know the yoke will be colorfulAnd that's about all I know. I can picture it in my head enough to know it's going to be wonderful, but not enough to know what the yoke design is going to look like. I've got to flip through some stitch dictionaries for inspiration, I think 😁#knittersofinstagram #sweaterweather

It was inevitable.These are the Ella frames. I got them in "clear" with progressive lenses. And I got 3 toppers so I can change up my look on a whim: a burnt orange one (great for Autumn and to go with my new sweater), a plaid one (which is turning out to be my favorite), and a tortoiseshell sun topper.Isn't that fun? There's a link in my bio that will give you $25 off your first purchase, if you're also in the market for new glasses. (Full disclosure: I'll also get a $25 credit, if you buy via that link.)I've been poking around online and there's a vibrant diy community sprung up around these glasses. 3d printed blank toppers you can embellish yourself, files you can use with your Cricuit machine, etc. I've been thinking about trying to make some toppers in polymer clay, too 😁#theella #paireyewear

But I also thought that there just wasn't enough green around to make it amazing. I decided then that I'd need to try again in the summer for sure, but also in the fall. In the summer, the greens are lush and plentiful, and so there should be corresponding lush and plentiful purples with this film....https://www.lisaclarke.net/2023/10/28/lomochrome-purple-part-two/#lomography #lomochromepurple #believeinfilm

That's more effort than I'm currently in the mood for. I'd rather just chill here on the couch next to an open window in our rented condo by the ocean.
