This weekend, I had a lovely time working on my Vuurvogel shawl, and watching some series. Pimento kept me company! #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting #PimentoTheCat

Knit project in the viewer’s lap—blue-and-orange yarn on needles—overlooking a cozy living room with a sleeping ginger cat on the TV console, potted plants and a drink on the coffee table.

I was making pictures for a new tutorial, and Arrabbiata decided that all attention should go to her. Just look at her! 😄 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittersLife #Cats #ArrabbiataTheCat #RedCat #CatsCatsCats #CatLover #CatsAreAwesome

#StashDiveSaturday With only 2 designs on my needles, I technically have room for one more. I'm thinking about this yarn I recently picked up at my LYS, Sticks & Cups 😃 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnitterProblems #KnittingProject #Yarn #YarnLove #HanddyedYarn

Aren't these flowers pretty?! I encountered them on a walk, recently 😃 #Flowers #FlowerLove #Gardening #Plants

Dense clusters of white hydrangea blooms forming rounded flower heads among large green leaves, with one cluster showing pale green buds beginning to turn white.

Here, you can see the patterning of Sering a bit more zoomed in. It’s lace, though, so it will need blocking to show it to its best advantage 😄 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

Flat lay view of a circular knitting needle with a lace project on it. It's shown on a white plank background.

In this picture, I worked through the 32-row body chart once, followed by a repeat of the first 16 rows. This is what I envisioned! A shame that it took me so many tries to get there 😆 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #MosaicKnitting

With Sering, I’ve worked 12 repeats, I hope to get to about 22-24 before starting the decreases on the body stitches. Time to get my scale out 😃 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

Oreo demonstrates a prime example of what we call "lokpluis" in the Netherlands. It's the belly fluff that lures you in, only for the cat to spring the trap when you try to touch it 😆 #LaVischDesigns #KnittingLife #Cats #ShelterCats #OreoTheCat #CatsCatsCats #CatLover #CatsAreAwesome

A large white and black cat, lying on his back on a white leather couch. He is showing a massive amount of white belly fluff. Looking at his eyes, you can already tell what will happen if you try to pet it.

Let's zoom in a bit. Do you see the medallion now sitting nicely between the blue lines, separating the center from the stripes? I'm very happy with this one. Onward! 😃 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

Helsingborg blocked out to a decent size, I'm very happy with how it turned out. I haven't sent the pattern out yet to my editor, though. Soon! 😉 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #MosaicKnitting

I made orange juice-sandalwood soap (in the front), and primrose-rose geranium-sandelwood soap (in the back). The latter is less smooth, because the FO accelerated the trace a bit 😆 #SoapMaking #Soaping #Soap #ColdProcessSoap #HandmadeSoap #MakersGonnaMake

Angled view of raw yellow soap in blue molds, and pinkish soap in gray molds.

#FlashbackThursday When it's warm. I often grab one of my silk shawls, instead of a wool one. Olivijn, for example 😃 www.lavisch.com/site/olivijn/ #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

I've balled up my RMR Yarn Co. Harumi DK yarn. It's only the one ball, so I worked out a pattern for a skinny scarf of the type that seems to be quite the rage at the moment 😃 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #KnittingPattern #LaceKnitting

Flat lay view of a ball of variegated green and lilac yarn, a circular knitting needle, and a label with the RMR Yarn Co name. Everything is shown on a white plank background.

In my last Vuurvogel update, I had shawls worked from both the yarn's outside and inside ends. Neither matched my vision, so I unraveled them, careful handling was needed to avoid tangles 😄 #LaVischDesigns #Knitting #KnittingProject #ShawlKnitting #KnittingLife #KnittingLove #MosaicKnitting
