Linen Crest

23 Sep

Linen Crest

Yarn: Louet Euroflax Originals, which Jag and Antony gifted to me long enough ago as to be embarrassing that I haven’t used the yarn yet! (Clearly it was just waiting for the right project…)

Pattern: Based on a sock pattern I’ve done a couple of times, Crest of the Wave.

Notes: Surprise, mom! It’s the second in the series and coming your way soon!

 
 

Long Linen August

20 Aug

Long Linen August

Yarn: Louet Euroflax Originals, which Jag and Antony gifted to me long enough ago as to be embarassing that I haven’t used the yarn yet! (Clearly it was just waiting for the right project…)

Pattern: Based on my August Afghan square, but with an extra repeat in there for length. Also added a little i-cord cord on one end, as it’s a hand-towel, so mom could loop it over something if she wanted to.

Notes: Surprise, mom! Coming your way soon – linen is rather rough feeling at first, but everyone says it softens with use; so my plan is to wash this a couple times before sending it to you. And then the more you use it (either as a hand towel, or a dishcloth, or whatever you’d prefer), the softer it should get!
