Have you checked out the Tree Ring Tee by @daniknitsthings yet?? (check her profile for the link!) I test knit the pattern for her, and although it's her first design, it's straightforward and easy to follow. It would be a great first sweater that won't bore you! Also, it uses way less yarn than you'd think - under two skeins for me, though I did 3/4 sleeves - and it's fun to mix and match from your stash! I used @coppercorgi Cordial (red, plied) and @neighborhoodfiberco Basquiat (taupe-purple, single ply). . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #treeringtee #testknit

Got started on @jessssiemae's new pattern yesterday, the Ripple Crop Worsted 😊 🎊 I bet this is going to fly by and then I can get back to all my fingering weight sweater WIPs, lol. And I know it's not fall yet, but I had to make use of my new stitch markers from @rllazer520! 🥧 🐌 . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #croptop #workinprogress

First time wearing my freshly-blocked #MyBoyLollipop out and about! Please ignore how wrinkled my dress is 😂 I think I knit an extra half-inch of ribbing to use up more yarn, but I'm not sure it was needed. I did do the slip stitch edging around the neckline and I think it helped a lot, it sits fine after the blocking . Next time I would definitely do a longer neckline though. Designer @gettingpurlywithit Yarn from @lanasgatonegro, @lornaslaces, @missbabsyarns (only leftovers for the gray and teal!) About 350m more for #stashdash2019! That brings me to 1074m ☺ . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #croptop #todaysknitoutfit #todaysknitoutfitmyboylollipop

#MagpieTendency by @skeinanigans is finished & blocked! 🧡💙 I used @bumblebeeacresfarm's Sansa colorway with some leftover gray for contrast, and I knit just a few rows longer than called for but I have a ton of yarn left. Maybe enough for shorty socks? I could've finished this top wayyy faster but I got caught up in knitting My Boy Lollipop and Marettimo instead, so it took a month, but probably only a week and a half of knitting in there 😂 . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #skeinanigans

#Repost @yellowstonenps (@get_repost) ・・・ The @nationalparkservice works hard to protect Yellowstone and we need your help! The best way to start is by taking the Yellowstone Pledge. Tag #YellowstonePledge and encourage others to do the same. . “I pledge to protect Yellowstone National Park. I will act responsibly and safely, set a good example for others, and share my love of the park and all the things that make it special.” . One of the ways to put the pledge into action: Give wildlife room, use a zoom. The safest way to view wildlife is through a telephoto lens, a spotting scope, or a pair of binoculars. Park animals are wild and dangerous. Bison, bears, and elk have injured and killed people. Do not approach, encircle, follow, or feed any animal. Stay 100 yards (91 m) from bears and wolves. Stay 25 yards (23 m) from all other animals. . Learn more at go.nps.gov/YellowstonePledge

So I *could* have finished in time for the #myboylollipopkal, but I also had to pack for Yellowstone and, more importantly, swatch for my Marettimo 😉 So sadly this will be sitting at home for a week until I can finish the rib and figure out what to do about that neckline! #myboylollipop by @gettingpurlywithit . . . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #croptop #onmyneedles

My #mdsw2019 acquisitions and #todaysknitoutfit feat. #SoldotnaCrop. Apparently I couldn't resist the teals this year! Such a fun time at the festival yesterday 💕 I made a story highlight instead of spamming you all with tons of photos, lol. Glad the weather held out for Saturday because today sucks. Try to stay dry if you're at the fairgrounds today! . . . #mdsw #mdswf #mdswf2019 #todaysknitoutfitsoldotnacrop #knittersofinstagram #yarn #yarnhaul #stash #stashquisitions

Cast on my #SoldotnaCrop exactly a week ago and here's a late-night, bad-lighting shot of my progress. It's amazing how fast DK/worsted colorwork and short sleeves go! . As you can see, I made some small modifications to the colorwork 😊 I really like it, but it's so bold, I'm not sure when I'll wear it! . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #colorwork #sweaterknitting #myboylandknit

Finished my Laurie by Josée Paquin @uandiknit - I don't know why I got so distracted but the sleeves flew by once I sat down and focused on it. The yarn is @neighborhoodfiberco Studio DK, 'Sanctuary City' (limited edition benefit colorway). Now it just needs a good block! . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment

Last week I cast on a pullover version of Elton by @jojilocat and it finally looks like something! It's so light, but I feel like it'll be very warm too. Perfect for my office in the summer 😂 . I feel like I might want to do something interesting with the bottom and for some reason a handkerchief hem comes to mind for the lightness of the fabric? Not that I have any idea how to knit one, but I'm sure I could figure it out. . It's in @onceuponacorgi "like my cold dead heart". It's a lovely colorway and the name makes me laugh every time (is it a reference? I feel like it must be). Her mohair is really nice too and surprisingly not very shed-y. . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #eltoncardigan #jojilocatelli

My #Tegna is finished!! It only took... 7 months to get around to it? 😅 I'm sure I could've finished this in under a month, but I got lost in the stockinette somewhere. At least it's the right season for it now! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #yearofthegarment #yearofthegarmentkal #myboylandknit

Review: Any Old Diamonds
Any Old Diamonds by K.J. CharlesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I made the mistake of starting this in the morning and, well, let's just say I was supposed to get a whole lot more done today.
Another totally engrossing read from KJ Charles with quite a twist that I didn't see coming at all!
