a little inspiration

 I made this one over the summer.  When I ordered the pale pink I wasn't sure. Am I a pale pink kind of woman?  Apparently. This pattern calls for the front and back to be the same but lots of makers on Ravelry  mentioned changing it.  I did raise the back neck.  I did not take notes.  I hadn't used Caidree patterns before and found the instructions clear. The silk from Knitting for Olive is a dream.  So delightful to work with and even more wonderful to wear.  It has no bloom and so it is a little sheer.  I like the slightly sexy vibe of a loose silk blouse with the hint of a bra and tattoos underneath.  I don't have much to say about this one.  It speaks for itself.

  Lace, lace, baby!   This was a fun knit, even if it required a lot of attention.  Nothing about it is hard, you just have to focus a bit and you end up with this beautiful lace. I've been trying to stay away from anything too complicated after the Robinia but I had already bought this pattern when it came out and couldn't help it.  The sample was made in white but I had purchased this lovely Noro without a plan and this seemed like just the thing.  The little cap sleeves on this are knitting perfection.  I wore it in Spain to grab some pictures but the silk was too warm the days we were there. Here's my Ravelry link if you want the details on the yarn and pattern.  Last time I was in Spain I was working on a different pattern from this same designer, so maybe it'll be a tradition.
