Well, howdy do.
I have new stuff for you! I’ve been listing new yarn colors on the site since yesterday (many more to come! Keep an eye on the facebook page!) and…
A new pattern! YAY!
Funny story.
About 8 months ago my nephew, Brandon asked for a purple hat.
Who knows what I was thinking but I just didn’t get it done! And then BOOM, 8 months had slipped by and it still wasn’t done!
Unacceptable, I say! 
So I dyed up a “manly” purple, called Smoky Mountain Rain (sold out). and whipped out this hat for him. (Ya, that’s me modeling it, just in case you’re wondering).
So this hat was “sorta” 8 months in the works, but only took a couple hours. Yeesh.
Peeps were begging me on Facebook to share the pattern, so I wrote it up and it’s available in the shop now!
What’s so cool about this pattern is you can use it with any size yarn, any size needles and make a hat for any size head. Seriously! It’s my go-to beanie formula and makes for great last minute gifts.
In other news!
I know you’ve been bursting to see how I finished up my Dark and Stormy Cardigan, so here is a quick sneak peek… I’ll try to get the buttons sewn on soon and official pictures taken for you:

LOVE LOVE LOVE the cardigan.
Love the collar you choose. That is exactly what I envisioned. Did you just pick up and knit all the way around?
Love the cardigan. It is beautiful
Your sweater is perfect! Beautiful color and style. I like the trim you chose very much. I only wish I had gotten some of this luscious yarn. Can’t wait to see you model it. Love the hat as well. Sometimes a simpler pattern is a great way to show off the yarn. You inspire us all with your creations
I like the way you finished your cardigan. I like the hat too!
Your cardigan is really pretty, and I like the way you finished the neckline. In the depths of winter you can wear your sweater and it will be a reminder that spring is coming!
Love both the hat and the cardigan. I really like the finish on the cardi. It looks fabulous.
It doesn’t look dark and storm in that beautiful yarn of yours. I love it too.
Love how you finished the cardi -classic and elegant. The hat is cute too & the purple is lovely.
So excited to see all your knitting, both in stages & finished product. Just finished my first sweater in 20 years, dying to wear it, but had to send away for buttons & have to wait up to 2 weeks! :-(. When is your wedding date & where? If you have told us, I must have missed it, as without Internet for a couple of weeks.
Will be ordering the hat pattern, and love love your sweater! Who won the Sept give-away? I am holding my breath, lol … I am so in love with your yarn! My local yarn shop called cause they miss me
Where is the pattern for the beanie??????
Love the hat and the sweater!!!
Beanie pattern is in the shop ?~! I’m off to order a copy. Even a super novice like me could knit that easy peasy yet really serviceable beanie. And hello to purple-my favorite color for the last half dozen years.
Turned out so pretty!
Love the sweater,you did and amazing job. I am still trying to convince myself I can make one and the hat color is very pretty.
