My cardigan is finally done!! Patten is Drops 106-11 Jacket with Shawl Collar. (Ravelry link) The yarn is Tivoli Collezione S. Charles (?) 52% silk and 48% kid mohair, so it is beautifully drapey. It was just plain white, but Alissa of Headknits custom dyed it for me. She used a very cool technique that… Continue reading Saturday Sweaterday!

I’m doing a second Holiday Doodle cowl for myself. Snowflake theme! I’m just making this a single-sided medium size cowl, so hopefully… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
The pattern is KISS by Lotte Lundin (Ravelry link) The yarn is Knit Picks Palette in black and white. It was a fun knit, and hopefully my brother will enjoy his Christmas present 🙂
The Holiday Doodle cowl I made for my Mom is done! It was a fun and easy knit, and she is already wearing it around the house 🙂 It’s all stranded colorwork, except I duplicate stitched the red berries on the holly pattern band. Soon I’m hoping to cast on one for myself using different… Continue reading Holiday Doodle Cowl #1 Done!
