Lord Loxley Pattern Re-release 

Originally published in Knit Magazine No. 40, September 2011,  Lord Loxley is now available here, Craftsy, Ravlery and soon through Knit Picks where you can choose yarn and purchase the pattern at the same time!

Sample in Size 10 years, on an 11yr old.

Teeny Tiny Lord Loxley

This pattern is now available!  

Remember this cute hoodie from the summer?  I am in the process of re-releasing it through Knit Picks IDP.

I will knit a size 8 or 10 sample for the pattern, but wanted to do a quick run through with a size 3 months.

Preview - Lord Loxley Pullover

This pattern is now available for purchase!  

Lord Loxley Pullover featured in Knit Issue 40.  Something fun that I worked on over the winter :) The issue isn't released until sometime this week, I believe, but it was exciting to see the preview! 

What a cute little model! I wonder how hard it was to take his photo while he was moving? I bet he moved alot!

Yes, front cover :)  That made me smile :D

Lord Loxley is knit up in Rowan Pure Wool DK; very nice soft yarn to work with.  It is knit seamlessly, in the round, from the bottom up, raglan sleeves, v-neck & hood.  The cable runs up the front, up the back and over the hood.

A fun element to this pullover is that the sleeves are detachable.  Much more versatile, especially for children who need something warm in the cooler months.

Sleeves have snap tape and they snap to the inside of the sleeve cuffs.

Lord Loxley is named after my little guy, Loxley; always on the move and such a great source of inspiration :D

Hoot Toque

Loxley needed a new hat.  He keeps growing.  I want him to stay little forever.  I also like forest animals and made him this:

"Hoot Toque"

He LOVES this hat.  I mean, he REALLY loves it. 

It is knit seamlessly from the top down (have I ever mentioned how much I dislike seaming?), has ear flaps and i-cord ties.  The eyes and beak are embroidered on.  This took me all of one evening.

I will make him matching mittens next week...

Pattern will be available in February, in sizes newborn to adult.  I can't wait to knit some more!

A Sweet Little Knit :)

Just a quick post to say that our little one finally arrived on Monday, November 9th @ 3:34am. His name is Loxley and he was 9lbs 1oz. He is now 5 wks old and smiling at us all, melting our hearts! I haven't been knitting much and still have lots to share that I knit before he was born, so I will try to catch up over the next couple of weeks.
