Pattern Published!

Howdy all! It's been FOREVER since we've blog. Please forgive us, we will get blogging more!

I've been a knitting mad woman lately and have even started hosting knit nights at my house every other week. I purchased a bunch of Knit Picks yarn a while back with the intention of creating my own patterns and getting them published through the Independent Designer Program (IDP). One of the yarns I purchased was Capra, a wonderful cashmere blend, that was as wonderful as I could have hoped. I also bought some beautiful lace weight yarn with really great Northwest related names like basalt. The Capra project became a herringbone hat and mitten set. This is my second stranded knitting pattern (hopefully the first one will be published soon!) and it took quite a bit of tweaking, frogging, and re-knitting before I got it just right. I'm happy to say that it was accepted by the IDP at Knit Picks and is now for sale! You can also find it on Ravelry. I haven't sold any copies yet but there are Ravelers who heart it. A big thanks to Knit Picks for their help to get designers started with a publishing program and inexpensive yarn!

Happy Knitting!

Pretty Paper Pennants!

Now is the time of year to add something bright to your home. And why not get some pretty paper pennants? These were lovingly cut out (yes, each little pennant!) and pasted onto a delicate little cashmere rope. Pink and purple are up on Etsy with more wonderful colors to come. These are even customizable with names, dates, whatever you want! A perfect little addition to a birthday party, a mirror, or wherever you need a little cheer. Please request colors and personalization!

Happy Party Planning and Decorating!
