Back In Action

Comments: 1
After a wonderful Holiday Season with family and friends, I am back in action and ready to share some new knitting!

Last year, I did some design work for Nature's Luxury and now I can share it with you! These mittens and leg cuffs are knit with Foxen Sheep from Nature's Luxury. This yarn is truly a unique wool in a beautiful array of colors. Clara Parks did a fantastic review of this yarn, which is worth the read.









The pattern can be found for sale here and there is also a kit that can be purchased with the yarn here.
Happy Knitting and Happy New Year!

This is a cabley, bobbly hat that I designed for the 60 More Quick Knits book. It is knit from Cascade 220 Sport. I love bobbles!

This is also New!

This hat and sweater set is featured in Knit Simple Magazine, Holiday 2011.

So, that's what's new for now. I need to get out and get some pictures of some other things that are new. I have been busy finishing a bunch of my languishing projects and it feels great!

Classic Elite All Round

No Comments

I have a new published design out with Classic Elite for fall and here it is!

Winter Rose



Pattern:    Classic Elite Yarns, #9152 Snow Angels, Winter Rose
Yarn:         Classic Elite Yarns Fresco, 1 sk each #5349 Blue Teal #5353 Strawberry
Needles:   US 2.5 & 3 (3.00 mm & 3.25 mm)

Here is some more detail of the colorwork. I had so much fun making this hat. M calls it the tooth! Thank you mancake.



Finally, I have something to share that is finished. This is one of my projects that was languishing, but I did not show because it was ready to be blocked. I am in love with this and I think it will cross over nicely to the fall season as well, with a nice long sleeve shirt underneath. I love the blend of the alpaca and the linen in this yarn. It was one of those yarns that just surprised me when I started knitting with it. It is really great in the hand.


Pattern:    Classic Elite Yarns, #9111 Farmer's Market,
                 Sideways Lace Vest by Julia Trice

Yarn:         Classic Elite Yarns Soft Linen, 4 sks #2225 Smokey Rose

More snippets to follow soon from the ebook. I am getting so excited for the October 1st debut!

My Vivid Fushia Green Point

Comments: 2

I have a dress that I just love and I wanted something to keep me a little warm when wearing it.

The Dress

Skunk Funk

I love this dress because it has zippers all over it and you can customize it to fit you just the way you want. I also just think it is cool.

I searched high and low for something that I thought would look good with this unique dress and once I saw the newest color of Classic Elite's Sprout yarn, I knew I wanted to knit my Green Point Wrap in #4332 Vivid Fuchsia from the Classic Elite book, #9141 Seaside.

My Vivid Fushia Point


I love the way it turned out in this color and as soon as it was done, I realized that I had a bunch of items in my closet to wear with it. Bonus!

Coming soon to the blahg:

Languishing- A visit with all the knits on the needles that are languishing.

Collecting- A visit with something that I have started collecting and plan on continuing to collect.

Ebook Snippets- Sneak peaks of one kind or another from my upcoming Malabrigo Freelance Project Ebook, which will be debuting in October!
