A Quick and easy summer top!! 

Hi  Everyone:

Hope you are all doing well. Just a small housekeeping note. Starting this week we will no longer be doing appointments on  Fridays. .  Hours are still open Thursdays by appointment  10 am to 3 pm.   then drop in  Fridays and Saturdays 10 am to 3pm.  Thanks for being flexible to all of these changes.

Anyway onto the main reason for this newsletter. I have just finished knitting this great little top, it is one I have wanted to knit for several years. It is a loose fitting fun little top and you make the pattern your own as you knit it. picking which stitch pattern you want to do next.   It is a free pattern on Ravelry , in fact it is two free patterns, I know that sounds strange, there is the original version which is super  simple to knit just two big rectangles that you then sew together. Here is the link  https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cancun-boxy-lace-top
or this version of it which is what I used.  In this version you can do much more size alterations and it is knit all in one piece for no sewing at the end. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sierras-lacy-tunic  there is a little bit of calculating LOL but she maps it all out for you. With this version you can use any yarn , any weight and make any size you want.

I have made this top out of Juniper Moon's Zooey a wonderful blend of 60% cotton and 40% linen. which gets more lovely the more you wash it, and comes in so many really great colours.

So for $60.00 worth of yarn and a free pattern from Ravelry you to can knit this great little top.

If you would like me to put a colour  aside for you just send me an email and we can go from there.

Take care and Happy knitting

Lynn
