Sewing pile

I'm trying to carve out more time to do some sewing for me. I'm fast running out of clothes and really love making my own. I have a pile of lovely fabrics and a pinterest board full of inspiration. I've also signed up to Collette Patterns Wardrobe Architect project - this looks like it's going to be a fun way to help me get a few useful garments sewn up.

summer knitting list

I think now I should stop knitting wooly winter hats and find some projects for the warmer weather. I don't know how many of these I will get through but here is my list, from the top down, for my summer knitting:

Bandana Cowl from the Purl Bee

I think if I make this in a soft cotton it would be great for cooler days. The pattern can be found here.

Summer Scarf by Leslie Webber

I love. love. love the colour and the texture of this scarf!

Silken Straw Summer Sweater from the Purl Bee

For layering. The pattern is here.

Abigail Cardigan by Cecily Glowik Macdonald

This would be my first attempt at sleeves... eeeek! The pattern can be found at Quince & Co.

Summer Socks by Stefanie Fail

And these would be my first attempt at socks... but I'm feeling confident! The pattern is here.
