Recently, I caught , lounging in the cubby hole of our coffee table. The cats love that spot! Happy 😃

I thought I'd put Kanarie on my mannequin to show you how the top of the shoulder looks. I really like it! 😊

I finished the transition part of the border. The yellow wave in stockinette is all done, so from this point all the WS knitting is in knit for a non-curling garter stitch result 😃

My grading spreadsheet has been reworked, and I worked out the correct numbers for the stitches to be picked up, the puff sleeve increases, and the short rows for Kanarie 😃

I had a lovely time working on London Vibes with Donut's company. I'm pleased with the pattern rearrangement, needing to shift markers only every 12 rows. Quite manageable for maintaining place! 😃

The remaining stitches have been corrected to garter stitch. I dropped it all down, and worked it back up in garter stitch for the remaining triangles. It helps that in this column, there is only plain knitting, and no slipped stitches in the patterning! 😃

I transitioned from stockinette to garter stitch, but the top stitch of the green wavy band needed correction. Do you see the small green triangles? On the left, I changed a yellow stitch to garter stitch because it bothered me too much! 😆

For Kanarie, I have picked up the stitches for the first sleeve. But, but my numbers for front and back differ. So, I'll have to rework some of it.... 😆

In Bichrome you find a two-color garter stitch center triangle with a stunning two-color lace edge. I really love the unusual construction of this one! 😃

This is a project that hasn't seen much action. I have some knitting on it planned for the upcoming week, though! 😆 Have a lovely Tuesday! 😉

@Fiberrachel had a sale on her project bags recently, this is the one I got. Isn't it cute?! In this picture, I'm also showing the inside, because the bag is reversible! 😃

With this project almost finished, I figured it to be a good idea to also finish up an older, languishing design project: Waveline! To be continued... 😉

Do you know the the left slanting diagonal rib pattern? It works well as all-over patterning, and as an alternative for regular rib as finishing for hems and sleeves 😃
