Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a chance to knit, relax and eat lots of yummy foods!

For the last week, Mr. Monkey Pants has been featured on the Gina Brown's Facebook page and the Ravelry group. Here he and Baby Monkey are hanging out, wishing everyone a great day!

The Bolete Beret

I've just released my latest hat pattern - The Bolete Beret! (Available for purchase, here or on Ravelry and Patternfish). It's made out of the lovely Done Roving Kidding Ewe - the colors shown are Appropriately Pewter and Old Sturbridge. The brim of the hat is knit as a corrugated ribbing - one of my favorites to use with yarns that are variegated/self striping because of the way that the colors just seems to pop out more. The pattern stitch for the top of the hat is using the waffle stitch. It's a great slouch hat that's not too slouchy but very trendy! Thanks to Paula at Done Roving Yarns for providing such amazingly, beautiful yarns and David for taking some great photos.
