Pashima Stole in cashmere
Sometimes you just need to surround yourself in cashmere because you deserve it. For 3 months, I have knitted and purled on this beast, thankfully it was pretty mindless. It has stripes of spring and summer, and is the perfect weight for cool summer nights. The pattern is called Pashima Stripes, but should be called Pandemic Stole as it will always remind me of this pandemic we are currently in. The yarn was a mix of (in green) Flying Goat Farm Zephyrette and Lux Adorna Knits for the other 3 colors.

Erika Nikole Fingerless mitts
A pattern I developed over the past few weeks for striped fingerless mitts work well with one of my favorite yarns, Pepperberry Knits Cashmere DK. This fantastic quality yarn is made in the U.S. I had the opportunity to meet Heidi, the owner of Pepperberry Knits, at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival a few years ago. I thanked her for finally bringing high quality cashmere with an abundant selection of sizes and colors to the yarn marketplace.
I purchased two skeins of DK weight that had rich and contrasting colors to make these cozy gloves. After searching endlessly on Ravelry for the perfect style, I decided to develop my own pattern. This pattern is meant to be a simple and fast knit, and also incorporates bold wide stripes. I dedicated the pattern to my oldest daughter, because the first pair I made are a Christmas gift to her and she loves anything with stripes.
The pattern can be purchased here.
