Girly Space Invaders

A gift.....I am hoping she loves them. The dude that was working at Starbucks last night was drooling over them, lol. They were really fun to do :)





Peace Baby

A custom YYMN, I feel lucky to have gotten to knit up this yarn. Dyed by WSK, it is one of the most gorgeous colorways I have ever seen. We added the peace sign and stripes for extra fun!

Everyone likes a give-away!!!!




I have been wanting to do a give-away for a while. It has just been a crazy life lately. My 13 year old is a baseball fanatic and we have been living at the baseball diamonds. Which is where most of your projects are being knit these days too :)

An old friend asked me to knit up a newborn hat for a photo shoot for her new photography business the other day. It was so much fun, that I thought I would knit up another and do a give-away.

The hat is NB sizing. Perfect for your new blessing or a perfect gift for a friend or loved one who will be welcoming a new blessing soon.

The hat is knitted in the perfectly gender neutral colors of green and cream of Cascade 220 wool. Cute sprite-like design with an i-cord top and 3 dimensional leaf on the end. Of course, only hand wash and lay flat to dry, as wool will felt easily.

Here is how it works.

Anna's Tropical Lily Apron Top and Skirt



This was a great pattern. For all my knitting friends, it is here. I used Cascade Cotton for the top in Plum and off-white and picked out some coordinating fabric for a skirt. She of course, loves it :)

Summer Love Set

This set was so fun to knit. The top is knitted with my pattern and using Sugar Bubbie Organic Cotton in MacKensie's Rainbow. The capris feature a heart shaped cargo pocket and small floating hearts in all the colors of MacKensie's Rainbow. And the trim is a lace detail, so sweet and girly.



The cargo pocket.....


Lace detail on capri cuffs and cast off in a contrasting color:


Swing top with knotted shoulder detail....makes the straps adjustable for a perfect fit....


Piggy Set

I recently wrote a pattern for a super simple swing top in worsted cotton. It was really fun to write and I am working on getting it all written up. My favorite thing about it is that it is a really quick knit and the shoulders are knotted so you can adjust them super easy.

Here is a recent set I completed using this pattern. The top is all Organic Cotton and the capris are Cascade 220 and have a lace detail trim and embellished hearts and puffy hearts for the drawstrings.
