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.
