I gleefully finished two pullovers in May. I even wore them a couple times. I know it will soon be too hot to wear them. Fortunately, it will get cold again.

Chantalle (that I fear is actually too big for me... but I'm not willing to concede that quite yet)
And my self-designed Cafe Au Lait top knit in boucle (what was I thinking when I picked that up? Well, I was thinking there was a lot of it - enough for a sweater - and it was dirt cheap second-hand) and brown chenille from a destash. The chenille colourway was "Starbucks" and when I saw it with the off white boucle I knew I had to make a coffee inspired top. It's a basic contiguous shoulders top-down construction (with bust accommodations) featuring stripes with a slipped extra YO of the boucle that crosses over the stripe to break it up... simple hey? If I write it up, I promise to give a better description of the stitch pattern I made up.
After the BO I decided I didn't like how the bottom edge flipped and I wanted a wee bit more length, so I added a crochet border featuring puff stitch "beans".
Not for me, but in line with other things I knit in time for it to not be cold,
my mom got this vest/shell in super bulky yarn - as per her request
And one of my dance mates / fellow twins-mama will be getting this hat she ordered (because I apparently can't get enough of knitting brioche hats). This one is
