Yarn alert: my huge yarn crush on Anzula Squishy started last year when I used it for the new samples of my Afternoon Tea Shawl but it’s been pretty hard to get your hands on in the UK. I’ve gotten the news from Meadow Yarn that they now have it in stock, so go have a look for yourself! I love the colours so much I’m tempted to buy it all up, Stash Appreciation Month notwithstanding.

What’s in The WIP
I finished my Cave Point Shawl! I love it.The pattern is by Paula Emons-Fuessle from Knitting Pipeline and it was an absolute joy to knit. It’s also available as part of the gorgeous Shawls 2015 collection from Quince and Co. I knit it in Quince and Co.Chickadee in the Audouin heathered colourway.

I’m waiting until I have time to be monogamous with my Reyka Pullover by Cirilia Rose so I’ll probably wait until I’ve finished Times Square.
Oleum Socks by Rachel Coopey
Some vanilla socks, developing a personal “recipe” the way Mina has, using the Fish Lips Kiss heel.
