This sweet little plum shawl is the Damson, a Ysolda Teague pattern that practically flew off my needles as I was antsy to get it finished for my Iceland trip. I loved working with this self-striping indigo and magenta colorway--which is actually quite subdued as Zauberball goes!
The scalloped lace bind-off was a treat at the end!
Joelle Hoverson's new book, More Last Minute Knitted Gifts is just as adorable as her previous books. I couldn't get my mind off of a certain pattern, the Easy Baby Cardigan--which unfortunately is an infant pattern. Here is my "me-sized" take on it. I knit it up in Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky and it is insanely warm and cozy.
Eddie, my handsome husband, was recently the recipient of a handsome brown Daybreak. This rare item of gift knitting was knit in Malabrigo Sock striped with Zauberball Sock. It is a pattern which I could knit again and again.
And can you handle how awesome his reverse appliqued keyboard hoodie is? Emily whipped that up at a craft night recently.
Now I'm off to knit more shawls and cardigans and perhaps a hat or two...
love the fall knits you guys! i just finished a fall project with yarn bought at the Fancy Tiger, too!
ReplyDeleteI found you through Ysolda's blog, but I had to pop in and tell you I'm loving the daybreak. I have one in those EXACT same colors on the needles now, it's frankly boring the hell out of me. Seeing the finished product has provided a boost of motivation!
