Summertime, and the knitting is easy!
I'm having the best time knitting away on my
Sunburst Shawl, designed by Sarah Punderson.
(more info is here)
It's a fun knit and Sarah's directions are very easy to follow.
I think I have about 10 more rows to knit,
but as you can see, they are looooong rows.
I will miss it when it is finished,
so I'm looking at new shawl patterns now!
(Sarah has some beauties!)
Here are my Opal socks:
……just a couple of detail shots of the beautiful yarn.
I'm almost ready to turn the heals,
but my Sunburst has really taken the front row seat!
I've finished a really fun sew session for our granddaughter Maggie.
I've used this pattern from Purl Soho for the gathered top,
and this pattern from Dana Made It for the diaper cover.
I can't wait to see this on Mags.
I really like the gathered top instructions -
very nice French seams on the sides and a lot of edge stitching,
makes for a neat and tidy piece.
You can see a bit of the detail here.
The fabric is seersucker, which I always love for summer!
Now for a bit of a switch in gears,
my new taste treat is this:
Do you like Chai Tea?
I hadn't tried it until recently, and I'm now addicted!
A huge treat for me is a Chai Latte from Starbucks,
but when I'm not near a Starbucks, I can mix this up!
YUMMMMM
Last Monday, our CSA basket looked like this:
The corn is outstanding! So sweet and fresh.
We enjoyed a spaghetti squash au gratin the other night,
and of course roasted carrots!
These were also included:
I just love beautiful summer flowers, don't you!!
What are you up to this summer? Do tell!!!
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for popping in!
Peace to you and yours!

What a beautiful shawl! Looks like you're having a spectacular summer. I used to drink a lot of chai, I brewed it up myself with spices. Loved it! xoxo
I love that shawl pattern! I am going to have to look through Sarah's patterns to see if there is a longer shawl for me to knit. Mag's outfit is adorable!!! I love the fabric. She will look so cute in it. I love Oregon Chai tea. It was all the rage here about 8 years ago and then we got Starbucks and people moved to buying drinks (it is less than a mile away). I still have the chai when I want a sweet drink. I wonder how it is iced? I am trying to organize projects that won't require me to be outside or to move. It has been in the upper 90's - low 100's. Starting tomorrow, we are looking a 104-8 for who knows how long. We haven't had a summer like this in a long time. Time to get out the washtub and see if I still fit in it. LOL! Have a wonderful weekend.
Not sure about the knitting being easy but it certainly is beautiful! I'm in awe of your knitting skills, Judy, and this one is a winner. Love the socks and the outfit for Mags. So sweet! So nice to see your summer veggies, of course it's a bit different here being winter. We are all feeling cold but I know you northern hemisphere folk would laugh at us. We really are wimps when the temps drop a little. I've finally posted again, I'm so slack, and my constant plan is to do better... Hugs xxx
Such a lovely picture of your shawl. Almost like a nautilus shell. Perfect spiral! And beautiful work, Judy. And the darling granddaughter's ensemble - so cute and so beautifully constructed! I'm on vacation so only creating textiles vicariously.
