MORE SUMMER KNITTING KNIT ALONG ENTRIES

 Continuing posting the entries to my Summer Vacation/Travel Knit Along in Ravelry, here are more entries as they appeared in the gallery on Ravery. Each photo contains two entries and as much as possible I've tried to include the inspiration and photos provided in the gallery as a background for each creation. Everyone posted a little differently.

Be sure to click to the next page to see more entries.

 

Below at the top of the first photo is by aurobee based in a very free-range spirit on Knit A Beach followed by COkntr's wrap based on a Florida sunset (almost molten with color)

Here is Mary's 'The Beach' wall hanging inspired by Mary's favorite English beaches and an exploration of color and texture. Her compsnion in the photo is Melba's 'Tuscan Fantasy Travel Vest'vwhich began as a Tuscan Rose Shawl design and went traveing into it's own lovely vest shape in true free-range style.

And here at the top of the third photo box is Colleen's 'Forest Shawl', a truly evocative leafy concoction totally of her own design suitable for wood nymphs (and people like me) and, below, with Peggy's  'Mexican Tile Shawlette' a free-range shoulder-gracer inspired by tiles she spied in a cafe in San Diego and finished with a pin she made.

What's the flip side of KNIT? (4 character(s) required) Answer:


Thank you Nancy and Jane for drawing my name. I'm looking forward to receiving my yarn. I thoroughly enjoyed this KAL and learned much from my two creations, although one started before the actual start date, it was completed in the spirt of the KAL. Both of the entries had to do with Tuscany and it's beautiful wine country, which I hope to someday see in person. Thanks for your beautiful and inspirational designs Jane. They've allowed me to travel into uncharted territory, while learning new and wonderful techniques. Melba
