New Baby Sweater

Currently I am designing a wee baby sweater out of the lovely Frolicking Feet from Done Roving. The yarn is just a delight to knit with. It's super soft and has wonderful body. The sweater I'm designing is a cardigan with a wee picot edge. I wanted to knit a raglan styled sweater with just one button. Here's a quick preview!

New Yarns, New Inspiration!

Yesterday I received the notice from Canada Post that I had a parcel waiting! I just love getting new yarns - they are so filled with hope to become something amazing.



What awaited me, was a beautiful box of yummy new yarns from Done Roving Yarns !


This gorgous yarn is called Frolicking Feet  in color Manderin Lime! So bright and cheerful :) There's 480 yards per ball.


This is Done Roving Yarn's new yarn called Silky Criations in Sunglow.


It's delightfully soft and in a dk weight. There's 250 yards per ball! I love the drape this yarn will provide. Now I just have to start knitting. I have two new patterns to design out of this yarn and not a huge deadline.

Baby Headband Pattern is Now Available

I have just uploaded my latest pattern "Flowered Baby Headbands" on Ravelry and updated my patterns page. (The pattern is available for purchase here).I am so excited about this pattern!




Originally it was for a class that I was teaching and now I'm quite taken with knitting these little flowers! They are so quick and easy to knit. I can make a leaf in a few minutes. These are going to be with every baby present from now on - either as a decoration on the present with a bar pin on the back or as part of a baby outfit (I normally give everyone a sweater). Big shout out to Cheryl again for her amazing photography :)

Another Baby Dress

One of our customers has been on a tear knitting up baby dresses. She has a few granddaughters now and loves to knit this pattern for each one.  Everytime she finishes one, she brings it in to be sewn and to have the trim added around the neck.


Another one finished and added to her collection.
