A Little Knitty

What's On My Needles? Sometimes it's nice to share what is currently on my needles, so I'm going to share them in this article. Hopefully it will give you a bit of inspiration for your next project. I am super close to finishing The Wharf Street Vest by Elizabeth Smith Knits. This is a sporty vest to throw on over a t-shirt or blouse with jeans and will feel so good with the Fall weather. The pattern suggests Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm. I chose the smokey blue called, Oxford. Cumulus is so soft and the box stitch pattern makes a nice textured pattern. Interestingly, the pattern is named after the famous cobblestoned "Wharf Street" in Portland, Maine. Hopefully you will see me wearing this in the shop soon.  I'm also working on a hat, called Bunny Wishes Hat by Sarah L. Kelly from Grey Owl Knits . The sweet bunnies around the hat blowing dandelion fluff are so cute. I am using two colors of fingering weight Shetland Lite organic Shetland wool by ...

Where In The World Is Kris?🌎 Hola from Lisbon, Portugal! Here I am on a another adventure with my husband seeing the sites and checking out yarn shops! Today we visited a sweet yarn shop called, “Retrosaria R. Pomar”. That is quite a mouthful of a name compared to “A Little Knitty”, right!  What an elegant shop this is with antique cabinets and dressers overflowing with Portuguese yarns! Check out this cute sardine!    Lisbon offers lots of seafood and especially sardines that are cooked in every way imaginable. Believe it or it they are quite tasty. The pattern to make this cute fish is, “Sardine” by Barbara Ceiga and is $4.92. There are many other sardine themed patterns on Ravelry so check them out. I’m off to hike to a castle so ciao for now!
