Solace Re-release!

Solace Cardigan

Originally published in Knit Now, Issue 24, Solace has been updated and re-released through my blog and Ravelry!

Totally seamless, top down with raglan shaping, Solace is enjoyable to knit and you will only have a few ends to weave in!...and maybe a button to sew on!  Worsted or Aran weight yarn also makes it a quicker knit than most cardigans.

Rounded front edges adds style but also a nice shape that looks good on a variety of body types.

A simple slip stitch pattern is worked throughout with wide ribbed bands for a classic feel.

Sizes XS-XXL, finished bust of 30"-54", included 0-2" of positive ease.

$2 off Solace Cardigan Pattern from December 11-13, 2013.  Discount is applied at checkout.  Happy knitting!

Etta Re-release

Etta

Re-released December 2013.

Originally published in Knit Now magazine, Issue 18, February 2013

As always, India is my model!  This tunic is a size medium, which fits India comfortably, even with layering.

Etta is worked seamlessly, in the round, from the neck down.  There is no seaming!  I used Artesano Aran which is wonderfully soft and knit up very quickly.

Sizing is from XS-XXL; Finished Chest measurements of 32"-56".  The tunic is meant to be worn with 2-4" of positive ease (better to layer with!)

Raglan shaping is worked from the neck down.  The cables and lace are on the reverse side as well as the front. but the back can be worked entirely in stotckinette stitch, if desired.

Etta is great to wear over a long skirt, jeans, or leggings!

 *** Enjoy $1 off Etta Pattern from December 8-11, 2013.  Discount applied at checkout! Happy knitting :)  ***

Abernathy Cardigan & Cap

Abernathy Cardigan & Cap
Check it out on Ravelry!

Abernathy Cardigan is a sweet little unisex cardi that is worked from the top down, seamlessly, with an eyelet yoked collar. With a stockinette stitch body & garter stitch hem, front bands, cuffs and collar, it is simple enough to show off variegated yarns nicely. Four buttonholes are worked, beginning at the top right band and more can be added, if desired. Generous ease, 2-3” (5-7.5cm), allows this to be a wonderful layering piece that is light and soft; perfect for wee babes and little ones alike!

The delicate eyelet yoke can be worked with any other type of increase to have a more masculine look. 

The Abernathy Cap is an adorable little unisex hat that is quick to knit up and works beautifully with variegated yarns or in a solid colour. It is begun at the crown, with eyelet increases in a circular pattern, then simple stockinette stitch to the brim. Garter stitch brim & I-cord ties finish this vintage style cap off sweetly!

Sweet, simple, classic style that is perfect for any little one!

Sizes:  Preemie, Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 yrs, 4 yrs, 6 yrs

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.

WIP's (works in progress)….

WIP's!  Everyone's got 'em!  I try to keep mine to a minimum, but sometimes, it is hard not to get carried away with all the ideas that plow through my head as well as the beautiful yarns out there!

I have a few new toques in progress, to add to my Hoot Toque & Twiga Toque.  I really try to create all my patterns seamlessly and with interesting techniques.  Larger yarn and needles mean you are quickly gratified :)  

Lox has finally outgrown his Hoot Toque after 3 years of constant wear!  He has a fierce love for penguins, so a Waddles Toque was in order, or as he calls it, "Waddles Hoot Toque".  This pattern should be available in December.  Here is a little preview:

It is hard to see, but there are earflaps and a deeper back to the toque, a la Hoot & Twiga Toques.  There are also I-cord ties with bright orange pom poms!

My next toque will also be a Hamster Toque; no photos yet!

I have a very simple cap & matching cardigan pattern in the works, Baby Abernathy Cardigan & Cap.  Both are in testing and will be available in December, as well.  Both are seamless, simple, easy to knit up and have a vintage feel.  Here is Scarlett's Cap:

Sizes Preemie to 6 years!
