The first finished Ondine: Sleeves for a Mermaid appeared on Ravelry recently. Vynne (Ravelry link) used Madame Tricote Dora. I must get around to casting on for mine!

A fair few Clover socks have been appearing on Ravelry since Issue 2 came out.

First to finish was Benang, who knitted hers in a lovely dusky pink.

Then came Sigrid’s grey version:

And then we have Jen’s natural-coloured socks:

All three versions are gorgeous and I’ve really enjoyed watching everyone cast on and knitting the pattern. And there’s more to come yet!

Voting is closed for the Summer Knitting Story competition. Thank you to everyone who took time to read the entries and cast their vote.

In first place, with 56% of the votes is BatOutOfHell (Ravelry link) whose Summer Knitting poem was the antithesis of happy summer knitting experiences, but made us laugh. The runner-up prize goes to Joanne’s knitting-to-keep-warm story.

The prizes will be on their way to the lucky winners shortly.

If you haven’t done so already, please don’t forget to vote for your favourite Summer Knitting story! Only two days left!

We thought it might be useful for anyone considering submitting to The Inside Loop to have an idea what the themes will be for the next few issues of the magazine.
