What’s in Anne’s Plystre Project Pouch<\/a>, besides a Baby Baggu<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A grandson-sized “Atlas (For Kids),”<\/a> knit with Brooklyn Tweed Loft!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the color combination she chose – Flannel for the main color, Snowbound and Old World for the contrast colors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many of you know that Anne never limits herself to one project at a time. So what else is on her needles right now? Let’s take a look!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anne’s “Calla”<\/a> tank is growing, stripe by stripe. You can see how Anne keeps unruly plant fiber yarns in check, by hand-winding them into tight balls and storing them in ziplock bags as she knits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Designed by Shellie Anderson for Shibui Koan<\/a>, this is shaping up to be a lovely, lightweight summer garment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anne is almost done with another Shellie Anderson design, “Cather,”<\/a> an elegant pullover in Shibui Echo<\/a>. As she set in the first sleeve the other afternoon, she remarked on cocoknits Claw Clips – “I don’t know how I ever seamed without them!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another work in progress from Anne’s collection is this “Rainy Day Hat,”<\/a> designed by Melanie Berg for her Balayage<\/a> yarn. It’s a super-soft fingering weight blend of merino and alpaca, a treat for the hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I confess, I’m not quite as prolific as Anne, and my projects are coming along more slowly! Above is my “Kirigami,”<\/a> designed by Gudrun Johnston and knit with Brooklyn Tweed Arbor<\/a>. I’ve been savoring this project for some months now, enjoying the simplicity of stockinette and the elasticity of Arbor, one of my very favorite yarns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m about halfway through Churchmouse’s “Vineyard Cowl,”<\/a> knit with one skein of Baa Ram Ewe Winterburn DK<\/a>. It’s an easily-memorized stitch pattern, and a soothing knit in this wonderfully wooly yarn, shown here on another of my works-in-progress – a quilt I’ve been slowly stitching.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot we miss about being “open” in the usual sense, but one of the main things is seeing what everyone is working on! What’s on your needles?
