Keep An Eye Out

The preorder link has gone live for Kismet. April Canavan is amazingly talented. I really enjoyed designing the cover art for Kismet. The book captures the reader early and won’t let you go… such a good read. Share and get your copy early. See the link below.

Amazing Little Friend

I won a random drawing contest, the prize a handmade amigurumi from Forever Stitchin… personalized. If anyone knows me at all, they know how much I love sea turtles. Funny thing I didn’t have a sea turtle or turtle amigurumi and just haven’t gotten around to making one for myself. This one is so special to me as it was made by a good friend. Note the exquisite detailing on the shell, Celtic like my logo. I love this, but now to keep my littles from trying to claim it as their own.

Not Knitting… CAL #3

I participated in another CAL last fall through A Crocheted Simplicity‘s event. I picked two gorgeous patterns to do, but ran out of time and only completed one. The Purl Illusions Slouch, I used Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Polo… it is gorgeous. Don’t be afraid of Unforgettable, it is froggable as long as you take your time and go slowly. Luckily I didn’t have an issue and didn’t have to frog or rip out. Its a beautiful yarn and this is possibly my favorite colorway of Unforgettable.

This is a beautiful hat, the pattern is really easy to follow though the finished hat looks extremely complicated it really isn’t. I’m looking forward to making more of these. I am wondering how it would look using some Knit Picks Chroma.

Sad I can’t carve pumpkins this year due to my hand injury. I love Halloween and carving pumpkins is just one of the delights I enjoy about the holiday. Enjoy!!!
