MELODY SHAWL

It’s no secret I Love Shawls.  They’re so versatile and can be worn year round.  For this shawl I wanted to work with one of my favorite stitches-The Seed Stitch and just to spice it up I added a detail when I changed yarn color. This Shawl is knit side to side and it’s a lot of fun if I do say so myself.

EARTH LAP BLANKET

 I was inspired by the trend for Natural dyes and colors when I Designed this Lap Blanket. I wanted to use two Earth tone colors and this is what I came up with.  It is very basic since I used The Wonderful Garter Stitch but I added a little detail when you change colors just to spice it up.  That being said I have a friend who is knitting it and she chose Bright colors and it looks great.

EZY LOG CABIN BABY BLANKET #2

                                                     

Last year I designed The Ezy Log Cabin Blanket/Throw and I was asked many times to do a Baby Blanket Version so I Designed one with Berroco Modern Cotton. Now I am offering one using Malabrigo Rios a wonderful Pure Merino Super wash. My inspiration was the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish Quilts.  I love their bold geometric patterns and dynamic color combinations.  My Pattern can be PURCHASED on RAVELRY

MOLLY'S CARDIGAN

It’s no secret I LOVE NORO YARN.  It was time for me to Design another project and Noro came to mind.  I wanted to do a light weight Cardigan for our LA weather and my friend Molly who is not afraid of color tried this design on and it was magic.  She looked great and just fell in love with my Design so I decided to name it Molly’s Cardigan.
