Back from Break

Three new Patterns
Three new Patterns
Three new Patterns waiting to be finished

After taking a much-needed break over the holidays (and recovering from my annual Christmas bought of bronchitis), I’m back at it! I’ve got 3 new patterns in various stages of completion, plus and oldy-but-goody that never got released, all waiting for me to finish them up and release them.

I’m using three fun new yarns – the blue cabled sweater is in Cascade’s Ultra Pima Fine, 100% Cotton. The gray tweed sweater is Remix, a unique blend from Berocco of 30% Nylon, 27% Cotton, 24% Acrylic, 10% Silk, & 9% Linen. And lastly the socks are Plymouth Yarn’s Diversity, which is an acrylic/polyester blend.

And the best part – all three are machine washable!

Super Simple Fuzzy Sweater

YellowPinkSweaters1_web

This is a super easy, super fast pattern. You can easily knit the smaller sizes in a day, the larger sizes in a weekend. With a gauge of 2.5 stitches per inch, you can see why!

Knit in the round from the bottom up to the arm holes; the front and back panels are knit, then joined. Finally, you pick up and knit the sleeves – there isn’t even any seaming involved, it’s so easy! And the fuzzy yarn is super soft against baby’s sensitive skin.

Has 6 sizes: Newborn, 3m, 6m, 12m, 18m and 24m

Marshes Cabled Sleeveless Shell

IMG_5139_500New pattern release! Inspired by the ebb and flow of the salt water marshes of Cape Cod near where my grandparents lived, this sleeveless shell is worked in Classic Elite’s Firefly. The linen makes it breath beautifully during summer months and the slight sheen of the yarn gives it a feminine look. You’ll knit this sleeveless shell surprisingly fast as, aside from the front cabled panel, the whole shirt is stockinette stitch.

Buy on Craftsy

cableCloseUpAn empire waist helps this shell flatter any figure. Sizes small, medium and large are given with a finished size of 37, 39 and 41 inch (94, 99, 104 cm) at the bust and 33, 35, and 37 inch (84, 89, 94 cm) at the rib cage.
The Cable pattern is charted and written out. This would make a great project for someone still unsure of their cabling abilities because there is only one large cable with which to gain confidence and the rest is stockinette.

Men’s Cabled Work Gloves

IMG_3844_cableCloseUp Worked in a tough cotton, these gloves are meant to be used then tossed in the washing machine.  Inspired by my in-law’s need to take care of their horses mid-winter in Ocala, Florida (which gets surprisingly cold), yet maintain the ability to use their fingers in delicate maneuvers, these fingerless gloves have a cable to give them some pizazz but in their essence these are work gloves.

Toddler Socks

socks2_600 My son needed new, warm socks for this frigid New England winter and I had trouble finding anything besides a warm weather thin sock for sale in local stores – so I decided to knit some for him.

He even picked the “color” yarn!  These are super easy socks and knit up very quickly.  There’s nothing fancy.  If you can knit, purl and decrease (k2tog/ssk) you can make these.  Yes, you have to turn socks1_600the heel but it’s all written out for you.  The leg and cuff are a simple 2×2 ribbing so the sock won’t slip down the leg.

Daisy-Edged Handkerchief

Daisy-Edged Handkerchief

Here’s a brand-new pattern that you can easily complete in a weekend.  It’s a lovely little handkerchief with a daisy-stitch border.

Buy via Ravelry. Buy via Craftsy.

Use a stretchy-plant-based yarn such as Queensland Collection’s Sugar Rush.  The soft sugar cane viscose is stretchy enough to make the daisy stitch easy and also soft enough to make handkerchief usage practical.
