What Next?



I haven't had much time to think about my next knitting project because I've been working on some other projects that aren't really craft-related. I finally had some time tonight to search through some patterns and came up with these two possible projects. I love the nautical stripes and shaping of the Breton Girl pattern, which originally appeared in the fall 2007 issue of Knitscene. The vintage styling of the Farrow Rib Cardigan is appealing to me too. This pattern first appeared in the winter 2007 issue of Interweave Knits. I may have to line up both of these projects for some of my summer knitting! You can buy both patterns individually in the Knitting Daily online store.

Time for a Hoodie

My next knitting project is going to be the Central Park Hoodie. This pattern first appeared in the fall 2006 issue of Knitscene, which has since sold out on the Interweave Knits site, but is still available at other online stores. You can now buy the CPH pattern individually from the new Knitting Daily Pattern Store. Knitting Daily is a newsletter from the folks at Interweave and their shop has lots of other individual patterns that have appeared in Interweave or other sister publications.

Berry Cute



I felted the strawberry clutch yesterday afternoon. It turned out really cute! I only ran it through the hot wash once. I suppose I could run it through again, but I like the size of it now. Big enough to actually hold stuff.

Strawberry Clutch



This cute felted strawberry clutch is a Kate Gilbert project from the spring 2007 issue of Knitscene. I'm using double strands of the recommended yarn–Cascade 220. Once the two sides are done, I'll use duplicate stitch for the seeds.
