Updating

Nothing much is happening here at Rililie-Headquarters!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter and I am continuing knitting socks, which are my favourite summer project anyway.

You can see my current WIP on the left... I am working on these socks for more than 2 months now (in between other things, as usual) - hopefully they are going to be a couple soon!!!

But I thought that it'll be the perfect time to make some smaller updates to 2 of my older tutorials, that you guys know already from older posts:
The first update is another, quicker way to work my LK2tog left leaning decrease. 
A couple of months ago Steffi (a very nice member of my Ravelry-Group) told me about this variation and I was very happy with her excellent idea and thought I'll share it with you...
It's technically the exact same technique as before, only that Steffi's way made it quicker by eliminating some of the last steps. This version might work better for tight knitters than for looser ones, but tell me how it works for you.

The second update is a photo-tutorial for the Purled CO with twist (until now only a video-tutorial was made about this method). Nothing has really changed at all with this technique... it's just that the new PDF format allows you to download it and to look at it offline or also print it and keep it as a reference (if you like it, of course).

Both of these updated PDFs can be found on the tutorial page of this site, here

Well, summer continues and we are testing out my new lightweight top at the moment. The very helpful and fun team of Testers work really hard on Ravelry so that I will be able to make the pattern available about mid of July!

Here is a sneak-peek of the new SpliTTop!
I hope you'll like it as much as I do....

And if yes... what is your favourite knitting project for the hot season???
