Sweet Hilda Returns!

Sweet Hilda

...a super sweet poncho for little girls in sizes 6 months up to 12-14 years!

Remember when this was originally released through Three Irish Girls back in November 2010? I can't believe it has been 3 years since then!  

I really love this little poncho and my girls have worn theirs for 3 years. Willow is still able to get another season out of hers.  I love garments that "grow" with the child and last through a few seasons.  

I am very happy to say that Sweet Hilda is now available through my blog and my Ravelry shop! It has been re-edited, clarified and has a new format and schematic.

 From November 17-21, 2013, receive $2 off at checkout!
This pattern is also included in the Indie Designer Gift-A-Long here.

Treefort Jacket Pattern Release!

Treefort Jacket Pattern

Sometimes, patterns just "happen".  You start knitting a little something for a friend, then take a look and think, "Hey! This is turning out better than I thought! What a fun pattern this would make..." And there you have it; a new pattern is born :)  This is precisely what happened when I started knitting my first Treefort Jacket.

Union Suit - Children's Pattern Release!

Union Suit - Children's Sizes 

“Based on the one piece long underwear worn for the past century in the America’s, the Union Suit is a classic outfit that is designed for comfort and warmth. It features seamless construction with raglan shaping, a front buttoned opening from neck to gusset, a backside opening with buttoned flap, a roomy gusset, tapered arms and legs & twisted rib cuffs. Approximately 4” (10cm) of positive ease allows for comfort and room to grow.

A little lull...

Not because I haven't been knitting.  Mostly because I have been too busy.  And, I stink at blogging :)

I have a few fun projects on the go right now.  A couple I can't share just yet :)

Here is "Nicolette", a dress/tunic top for my soon to be niece. The pattern is in the works :)

Size shown is a 12months dress which can be worn right up to age 2 or 3 as shown on Scarlett who is 3.5. I really love patterns (and designing patterns!) that cover a range of sizes. It is shown in Noro Silk Garden & features seamless construction, a buttoned opening on the raglan seam, eyelet waistband with ribbon, and a feather & fan lace pattern on the cuffs and hem.

Very easy!

Here is something I have had rolling around my brain for a while. I did an exhaustive Internet/Ravelry search to see if I could find something similar before I spent the time designing this.

"Little Johns" are a part of a series of patterns based around the outdoors and Union Suits. The are longies featuring a "butt flap", seamless construction, I-cord drawstring, doubled, ribbed cuffs. This pattern is going to be available in sizes newborn to size 10. It is in the final stages of testing and layout! It will be available here, on Ravelry and through Knit Picks

I have also included optional striping for the whole traditional "wool work sock" effect....

Knit in Cascade 220, but ill be re-knit in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes; RED!!

Look out for my next pattern; a Union Suit for babies- toddlers!!

Happy Knitting!
