Sneak peek: Avena

I am bubbling over with excitement and therefore could not wait until it was published to show y'all this new hat! Avena, named for the little oat-like bobbles that border the brim, is knitted with some some yummy yarn of silk and mohair.

I will be out of town for school for the next week, but as soon as I'm back, Avena will need to be tested and prepared further for publishing.  Interested in testing for me? I will be sure to post when the test will be ready so that anyone who would like to test has the opportunity to do so.  The test will be through the group "Free Pattern Testers" on Ravelry.

Collar Necklaces

These little babies have been all the rage, and ever since I made this one last year (I haven't posted any of my own photo projects of it...), I've been wanting to make more. They're great to use up any leftover skeins and are easy and fast enough to pump out two in a day.

Introducing, Csipke and Betula!

Csipke

Betula

I love the simplicity of Csipke with the little eyelet border, and also love the scallops and fun orange slice pattern of Betula.  I can't decide which of them I like better -- they're both so sweet!
