We are in the heart of summertime, the absolute center of the season where maybe we all wish for that long-gone school calendar with entire weeks of do-nothingness ahead of us. Remember the vast amount of time? Remember how summer seemed absolutely endless?
Well, let’s figure out how to get a bit of that back in our lives. We’re launching the first-ever MDK Ease-along, a knitalong where the goal is to A) chill out, B) knit something beautiful, and C) see A.
The Ease-along is a knitalong where you make whatever project you like from our new Field Guide No. 7: Ease, a collection by Julia Farwell-Clay that is designed to lower the blood pressure, with projects that run the gamut from easy to astonishingly easy.
My plan is to make some bodhi leaf washcloths. Yep that is my only plan. at least one. maybe more. I have become bogged down in all of the wips that are floating around and I am going to just ignore them and make a pretty washcloth.
I am also making the Bodhi Leaf washcloths as I had some Euroflax minis on hand. I have finished the first one and it turned out distinctly bowl-like. It would make a cute, if revealing, mermaid bikini top. I’m guessing the blocking will make it flatter, but I am wondering if one might reposition the decreases?
I will attempt to share the picture, tech is not my strength. You can also go to the website to see them: Waterfall Glen Soap Company, LLC. It is based out of Palatine, Illinois. The soaps are named after family and friends.
Ok I caved and bought some linen yarn. There is a wonderful soap lady at the farmers market on Saturdays. I will make some gifts for the gift closet. Can’t wait to get started.
I completed 3 of the Bohdi wash cloths this past weekend. One while waiting for my 16 year old daughter to get ready to go to Costco…(She takes FOREVER to get ready!!! I spend a lot of time waiting for her!) I made 2 with single strand linen and then decided to try with double stranded. I like the one with double better…it’s larger.
