Moose Dishcloth

I love this little cloth!  It's a rustic pattern and just reminds me of autumn for some reason.   Along with the Camping Dishcloth and the Great Outdoors Dishcloth, this moose dishcloth rounds out this summer's series of outdoor-themed cloths.

Park Ave Cardigan -- Sweater #8

This sweater is really my pride and joy this year.  Based off a favorite sweater of mine that has seen better days, I worked this up off of trial and error.  I wouldn't necessarily call it a pattern, but maybe more along the lines of pattern notes.  It was made with Berroco Vintage DK, light-weight and machine washable -- a definite plus in our house!  This cardigan has some waist and hip shaping for a more flattering fit. 

Finished Measurements:

Chest: 37”
Arm Length: 21”
Length: 25”

Materials Needed:

• 5 skeins Berroco Vintage DK Yarn (1440 yards)
• US6/4mm circular needles
• US6/4mm double pointed needles
• 4 stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Waste Yarn

The pattern is available as a PDF file, and unfortunately it turns out it is too big to be converted into a Google Doc to post on my blog, so here is the link to Ravelry, where it is a free download:

Happy Knitting everyone!

Antler Cardigan -- Sweater #7

This was my very first test knit for a fellow Raveler and I loved it!  This pattern will be included in a collection of patterns, Pacific Knits, by these two lovely ladies and I think I will be knitting a bunch of them.

This cardigan in particular is making me wish for cool fall days with brisk winds.  I can't wait to wear this all day, instead of just for a couple quick pictures.

The cables are the easy yet elegant and add just the right amount of "something" to this cardi.  This was a seamless sweater, besides the underarm grafting.  Here are the details:

This pattern will be featured in Pacific Knits that is due to come out September 15th.

Stormy Ruffles

When I received the email from Knit Picks announcing their new line Preciosa, this pattern popped into my head as the perfect match.  I made this scarf for my sister-in-law last Christmas and loved the end result -- which roughly translates to "I need one for myself"!

This colourway is an awesome combination of greys, white and just a touch of blue.  It really does remind me of stormy skies!

Yarn:  Preciosa by Knit Picks in Migration

I had purchased 2 skeins for this project, but only needed one.  I had added a few rows of stockinette to the beginning but had I not done that, I would has used every inch of that first skein.  Now that I have extra, I'm on the hunt for the perfect hat and/or convertible mitten pattern.  Ideas?

Camping Dishcloth

Summer is the perfect time for a camping trip!  Knit this quick dishcloth up to bring along to wipe up those smore messes!
