Finished work this week

This is made with DK cashmere dyed by MCY in the passionate heart color way, and a 50% wool, 50% angora varigated yarn (purple, pink, fuschia) the pattern is by Chris Bylsma Designs and very well written. The size is 1x and a very nice fit. Now, off to do tank top and other projects.

I joined a group called http://knitdowntoharry.blogspot.com
and was sorted several months ago into Hufflepuff House. Well, I decided to design socks for Hufflepuff, and a Hedwig sock that should keep me busy for next month or so. Hedwig sock will be done in blue white and gray for Project Spectrum.

Have a wonderful week

I used the following yarns from my stash

The pattern was super fun to knit up and I enjoyed every minute of the project. I like the fact that the model so skinny (I was never that tall and skinny. Tall yes, skinny no).

a sundry of sequins, and colors as accent. Lots of colors and fun using MCY's different yarns. Some are special order.

The Pattern is by Christine Bylsma and is called Crayon Box Jacket
her website is www.chrisbylsmadesigns.com
The pattern is extremely well written and is a dream to work. I had a lot of fun creating my own look which she is so kind as to call you a designer when you work your own yarns.
The pattern on her site is $8.00 and well worth the cost for such a lovely jacket.

As always these are for all of you but especially Isabelle! Enjoy. Taken this week Feb 5th and 6th.

Knitting wise still trying to finish the first of the commissioned sweaters. Finishing the sleeves today and delivery tomorrow. Then I have the yarn to start another of the commissioned pieces.

By Monday, the shipment from Mystical Creation Yarns (MCY) should be here and I will begin the final rendering of tank designs so that the designs work.

Have a great week.

Commissioned Works

Well, been very busy with knitting several sweaters for a client using her purchased patterns. Fun sweaters and all HOT PINK. Will post a picture here when I have finished the sweater and delivered it to the lady.

Still getting ready for spring with several tank top designs for MCY. They will be available for purchase in March/April. Need to remake all the designs in sport silk, and make sure the adjustments of sizes are correct.

Have a wonderful week.
