I've Been Knitting!

Another delayed update... just a reflection of being busy. : )


First, I released a new pattern last week. This one, Crested Butte, is relatively easy and it is available here.

The pattern is written in 2 sizes for teens/adults and options for braided or macrame-tied tails are included. I posted a pic of the original a while back. It just took me a while to get around to writing the instructions (and knitting 2 more of the hats). It's a quick knit and also features an inner layer of ribbing for added warmth around the ears.


We've been having our share of cold weather. Brrrr, so I whipped up a new pair of 'Glittens' for myself. I have made several pairs for others, but this is my first pair for myself. I made open thumbs, but I think I would have preferred closed.


I really love working with this yarn bowl that I received for Christmas. It allows me to work from the outside of the skein without having to chase the yarn across the floor!


One last thing.... I hope this helps you feel warm if it's cold where you are -- these are pine cones burning in an outdoor chiminea.

Knit on! ~~

Love the idea of adding the inner ribbing!
