Just a quick peek at what I was working on this week.  Managed to finish another Ocean Breeze scarf this time in a medium blue green combination.

The embellished coral reef broche is done in colours with a brighter quality than the last one.  All I can say is I really need my beach fix this summer.  In my mind there is nothing better than heading for the beach on a holiday.  Of course you must bring your yarn and some needles in case you are inspired to do more knitting or crocheting.  I like to combine these two skills together. Makes such an interesting outcome.  Try it,  You will be hooked, (sorry had to write that), in no time.  You can view this new designs and my others at https://www.etsy.com/listing/154634014/ocean-breeze-scarf-waves-and-coral-blue?ref=shop_home_feat  or www.intricateknits.etsy.com

The other piece is another infinity scarf with the new Mecha by Malabrigo Yarns.  I seriously think you should all try this yarn out. It is wonderful.

I also was able to finish designing a few pieces with the Rasta Merino wool by Malabrigo Yarns.  This design has a nice chunky feel with amazing colours and an added touch of an embellished broche.  Adds that unique touch that can be removed and used on another piece in your wardrobe.  If you are feeling like less is more than wear the scarf without the broche in the long version or buttoned up to the cozy neck warmer.  A multi tasking scarf great for the cold days of winter.

Luckily we don’t have to worry about that yet as it is the first day of Summer here.  The beach is calling my name and as you see obviously on my mind.  So if you can, head for the beach, river, lake or your favourite local scene today and see what inspires you.  Have a great first day of Summer!
