Honeycomb Headband added to Pattern Store page

I just added this pattern to the Pattern Store section of this blog... it's the latest & greatest Amy Grace Knits design.
I chose Spud & ChloĆ« Fine as the yarn for this project for it's springiness, stitch definition, color, feel (80% superwash wool / 20% silk) & because I love it!
There are so many colors to choose from the Spud & ChloĆ« color palate, but I narrowed it down the the fun Bumble Bee #7811 (yellow), Wildberries #7820 (purple) & Green Bean #7818 (green).  Such fun names!
The band section can be knit to any length, to fit any size head.  The flower & leaf are one size.
The pattern can be purchased on this blog or on Ravelry.  There is also fun to be had over on Facebook.
It is a fun knit & was fun to photograph.
Enjoy!




Thing that I have been knitting this summer... with lots of pictures.

Here are some things that I have finished since the last post:
My sweet little girl who loves frogs :)
             This pattern was so cutely named Ribbit by Susan B. Anderson.  I used some Blue Sky Alpacas organic cotton that I had in my stash.  Susan is the master of knitted toys & all things cute!  I really love her work.  The organic cotton yarn is super strong & comes in loads of colors. 


Next, is a sweater that a friend had me knit for a baby shower gift.  I had been dying to buy the book 60 Quick Baby Knits, and being asked to knit this sweater was the perfect excuse!  The book is full of adorable patterns all made from Cascade 220 superwash.



Love the pea pods & tendril details at the top of the hood.

Remember this lusciousness?

 Well, here it is in sweater form!  A true luxury yarn, Madelinetosh (color: winter wheat), came out perfectly in my Climbing Vines Pullover by Joelle Meier Rioux.  The only thing that I changed was the sleeve length due to yardage constraints.  I also need a picture while wearing it, but the summer weather has not been cooperating, and I just wanted to post it now.


A special post about what I made with this yarn coming soon!  Real soon ;)
