Two NEW projects just off my knitting needles!
December 16, 2009
Here's a preview of some upcoming patterns. Hope to release them by year end, but holiday craziness may get in the way. . .
This cowl is one I am wearing ALL the time! It just makes anything I'm wearing instantly more chic.
Plus, it's fun to "juge"(? - that word that those guys from Queer Eye used to always say!) the cowl around my neck. I can bunch it up a bit more if I'm cold, or let it hang looser in front once I'm inside and warming up.
And, I can even pull it down over my shoulder a bit like a cowl-neck shrug!
Watch for this pattern coming soon! It's a quick knit and let's you learn a great lace stitch pattern.
I also just finished this stunning Gathered-Waist Jacket. This one is big on the details. You can see that it starts with a gorgeous lace bottom, which is then gathered dramatically at the waist. Twisted stitch mock-cable panels then go up the front and back.
I finished this one with a lovely shawl collar and extended elbow-length sleeves.
You'll see more photos of it when it's ready to be released. Hopefully by early 2010!
What do you think?
Are you making cowls for holiday gifts this year?
