Still enjoying the knitting on my Luminos Tee. This half is done, and I’ve also finished the second half and joined them to work in the round up the body.
See all the reminders to myself? Chain row counter to tell me which row I’m on, and also to increase on each side of the marker on right side rows. I do remember to change the chain loop when I move it; sometimes I forget with my barrel counter. Little locking stitch markers to remind me that I need to increase on the Right Side rows. Otherwise I’d sail right past, because sometimes I’m not looking while I’m knitting!
I brought this project with me, but didn’t work on it. I just wanted the picture with this bird.
Because it’s a repeat model. And it never blinks.
I didn’t have my knitting with me when I saw this seal in Yachats.
But I did see this pair of otters having breakfast in the river! I didn’t realize that there were two until I looked at the video. Sweet.
I’m home now, prepping for Saturday’s helix knitting class at For Yarn’s Sake. There are a few spots left, if you’re looking for a fun and easy knitting project.
What do you like to knit in the summer?

I use LOTS of stitch markers. I’m finding that I need to put stitch markers around my brkyobrk increases. I have accidentally pulled out soo many increases because I didn’t recognize them and thought I’d done something wrong. I’m proud of myself for being able to “reknit” them but the stitch markers are making my brioche knitting more enjoyable. The trick to use a lightbulb stitch marker to hold the yo with the slipped stitch when it’s the last stitch of a row is also helpful. I have been a fan of Twice Sheared Sheep’s row counters for many years. I have soooo many. They are my BOR marker. I also have several sets of Odd/Even for flat knitting.
I haven’t found the need for the odd/even markers. Yet! I really like the row counters. I prefer the round ones; the symmetry appeals to me when I’m working. Having the straight ones dangle unevenly isn’t my style. I may have to have a giveaway on my newsletter!
That, or you could do what I do … I just fasten it into a circle using a lightbulb marker or a metal ring (ring is better).
You have a great model there! Otters are so funny and beautiful!
Otters are so much more appealing than sea lions! So cute!
