New Summer Scarflettes - Lariats Fiber Necklaces

I'm working on a few new yarns and colors for the light summer scarf lariat for my online shops. I've been having fun wearing them around. Dress up my uniform of t-shirt and jeans a bit. These will work great with dresses too. Gotta get me some new clothes.

I love the fresh lime green color and maize yellow. They're somehow able to just light up the room and lifted my spirit when I'm working on them or wear them. The light cotton blend yarn hold the shape of the leaves and the circle loops really well. Just so much fun.

I'm planning to make (at least) these 3 designs in the same cotton blend yarns in a few colors that can be mix and match or wear them alone.

Gauge Knits, another great yarn shop in NW Austin

I've heard about a new yarn shop, Gauge Knits opening up in Austin a while back. I even looked it up but have not had a chance to check it out until today. It was well worth taking the time.

It's a serene, open and very friendly store. The first thing you see when you walk in is a comfortable sitting area. I didn't look at it close enough to get the details. My eyes immediately fixed on the neatly organized yarns along the walls. I was so happy that they carry so many natural yarns, especially cotton. I've been looking for cotton yarn for summer crochet and haven't had much luck, until now.

I had my arms full of yarns, much more than I can afford of course. I decided on a medium weight cool cotton in gray to make a summer scarf for my son, Jaimie, a beautiful lace weight red yarn for a light summer scarf, a white light gauzy tape yarn for a light drop stitch scarf and a variegated yarn in shades blue seafoam to make another wave scarf for my etsy shop. The other ones that I had to put back will just have to wait until next time. Hopefully that will be soon.

If you're in Austin and have not visited Gauge Knits, check them out. They're just a couple of blocks off of 2222 and MOPAC.
