Mermaid's Lagoon

Mermaid's Lagoon

I have had this beautiful yarn from Colour Adventures for a while now and wanted to create the perfect pattern for it!

Description: Mermaids Lagoon is a cardigan that is worked from the top down, seamlessly and flat. It features raglan shaping, cap sleeves and an A-line shape. The upper bodice has a “pearl” pattern with a “net” waist band and “fish scale lace” on the lower body. Button bands are picked up at each front edge and buttons are applied on a little more than half of the band, beginning at the neck edge.

It is a quick and easy little girl’s cardigan that is a great introductory to new techniques, such as, lace, textured stitches, short rows and picking up stitches.

What's off the needles?

I have been knitting, I promise :)  I just haven't been taking regular photos.  I am working on several patterns right now that are so close to being finished! 

Scarlett is modelling "Mermaid's Lagoon".  It features Colour Adventures Yarns, in Dia Worsted. Beautifully soft!  Hoping for an October pattern release.  Ravelled here.

Willoughby - Jacket & Longies

This has been in the works for almost 2 years!  Pattern release in October (hopefully!)

Ravelled here & here.

Baby Abernathy.  A sweet, easy, circular yoked, seamless cardigan using Yarn Love's Juliet in Smudge (trim) and Amy March Fingering in Oriole (body).  This will be my next pattern into testing.  I am working on a little bonnet!  Ravelled here.

Baby longies in Noro Kureyon for the new baby!  I love the Curly Purly soaker pattern and love to use the waistband for longies; easy to pull on and off.  Ravelled here.  I have made several of these longies/soakres before. 

Age of Brass & Steam is a great pattern for stash busting and gift giving.  Ravelled here.

I made another!  Ravelled here!

...and another!  See, they are addictive!  This one is Levi's.  He saw it and wanted it.  Check it out!

 What have you been working on these days?
