finishing my Banaue Breeze
Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
My Banaue Breeze is drying as we speak!
I can’t wait to add this sweater to my wardrobe. It’s different from every other sweater I own, and I’m super excited to play around with styling it. Plus I think it’ll make an excellent layer to wear at the store, because the heating turns the place into a sauna.
Fingers crossed, pictures soon!
a brief moment of touching base

A brief moment of touching base this week.
- I’m weaving in the ends of my Banaue Breeze sweater – just in time for winter.
- Thinking about what I want my free-form knitting piece to become.
- Diving back headfirst into edits for Shawl Geometry Book Three.
- While putting the finishing touches on the second edition of Shawl Geometry Book Two.
- And also answering questions & dropping Shawl Geometry Book One in to Ravelry libraries.
Whew. Hope your week is going wonderfully.

updates all around – The Shawl Geometry Books & my Banaue Breeze sweater
Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
I dove back into my Banaue Breeze this week. I had originally intended to weave in the ends, and then block it and have it finished.
But as I was looking over my sweater I didn’t love the finishing that the pattern had you do. The pattern called for picking up, knitting a handful of rows, and then working a stretchy bind off.
I decided I’d prefer my sweater if I picked up, knit fewer rows than called for, and worked an i-cord bind off. I’ve used an i-cord bind off on most of the necklines on most of my other sweaters, and have always loved the results.
So, I ripped out my bind off, ripped out a couple rows of knitting, and worked an i-cord bind off – which I’m liking much more. Now all that’s left is (again) to weave in the ends, wash and block it (and photograph it, of course).
