Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again. ~Dorothy Day
Sorry this is taking so long to make the transition. I have been preparing for lessons with potential graduate school teachers, arranging and playing music at a friends wedding and participating in a music festival so I have let time slip away.
Just an update. I am rewriting my pattern for the “Basket Weave Tote” I just need to take some new pictures and set up pdf download. I am hoping to have this done by the end of the week so if you are coming to this site looking for the pattern bare with me for another week!
Also, I am hoping to start blogging regularly, I am a little new to blogging so it might be a rocky start (it kind of has been already… haha) So we will see.
Some projects I am currently working on (knitting is a wonderful break to practicing). I am making quite a few sweaters. Two are cardigans. I am making this with pure alpaca wool that my Aunt and Uncle gave me. They own a farm in Frederick, Maryland. It is a beautiful deep blue/green.
I am making this cardigan for my mom. As well as this pattern She really loves cardigans they flatter her very well.
I think those are my main projects. I have a few other random ones but I haven’t worked on them in a while. I have been looking for sweater patterns that include pockets. I have found that pockets are my new favorite little embellishment to any garment (knitted or not). I find them so cute on a dress or a pleated skirt. I just bought a knit sweater/shirt that has two small pockets on the front. I have yet to design a sweater and am currently working on implementing pockets into one we will see!
