Looking for something new to work on . . .

I have a few new pattern releases this week available on Ravelry, as well Florealis Toes and Fingers will also be released shortly at

Knitpicks.com

please be sure to stop by and see them. And if you require any yarn this would be the place to get it, they truly have perfected providing luxury yarns at affordable prices. The Stroll Tonal was a pleasure to work with, I am sad that this project is completed (Florealis). The CotLin (Aragonia) is also an amazing product, wonderful drape and stitch definition.

I am working on a eReader cover right now with Dishie (Kobi), and the colours, sheen and stitch definition are fantastic, it is definately not just for the dishes.

Up next is the Gambler redone in the Chromo worsted by Knitpicks, and the gradient colours in this shade (Mesa) are unbelievable, this project will be another one that will make me sad when it is done. I will post photo's as soon as I get a good portion completed.

All for now - back to my sticks.

Coming Soon . . .

Florealis, the next pattern soon to be released. Just finishing off sock number 2, but could not hold off showing it to the world.

Update on Saturday Morning Hoodie: Completed, will be picking up the most amazing button's on Tuesday and will post photo's then.

Sunday Knitting Saturday Hoodie

I have decided that with how busy I am, Sunday knitting will be whatever I want to do, not what has to be done. That puts this knitter in a strange place, do I actually pick up a WIP (one of 9 on needles) and work towards finishing it, or start a new project. Well, after wandering aimlessly for a few hours, I of course went rummaging through my stash and then tried to find a pattern to fit. Just so happens I had 8 balls of Paton's Shetland Chunky and that is just what the Ladies Sizing of the Saturday Morning Hoodie calls for. Cast on the back at 4 pm, cast it off at 8 pm, started left front. This morning I completed my first pocket facing, and am half way up the left front. Great fast knit, but it will have to rest until next Sunday when I can pick it up again (well maybe I will steal a few hours away from my real work).

Amazing!!

All I can say is the collection is amazing and I am proud to be a part of it, still have 2 pieces to be photographed but here it is. . .

Check out the whole collection! (photo and link courtesy of Lark and Hazel) I have already had people requesting the Cape, and another stated that the White Leather dress is going to be their wedding dress!

Knitting Like the Wind

I am being held captive by a Toronto Design firm to create their Fall/Winter 2011/12 knitwear line - 4 amazing pieces - one huge project. Yarn received Friday of the Family Day weekend, so knitting began full force on Feb 22nd, pieces due for completion by 8 am March 8th for the Media Launch.

Knitting so many hours that each day is running into the next. Children being bribed with the occasional trip to DQ.

Blogging will continue once project is complete.

I will see you all again once I escape their clutches (yes, and post photo's once they release them)

Only true blessing in all of this is that I am working on amazing designs and a yummy 100% cashmere from Loro Piana in Italy!

And here they are

I have two new pattern releases this week, one is Aurelie, which was the tease last week






The other release will be Brokk, a yummy 100% cashmere cowl/scarf








I am also finishing up an amazing ribbed, 100% alpaca vest with a low scooped front, a great transitional garment to get you from the dead of winter to early spring. Once size will form-fit from 34" to 40" , perhaps it can be named "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Vest".

Such a Tease. . .

Here is your first peek at my new pattern release - should be out by the end of this week!!! I will keep you guessing on what it might be.
