Fall has defiantly come to Illinois!

It has been cold (In the 60’s) during the day and in the 20-30 at night now which is perfect knitting weather!  I got the yarn for the felted foot stool I proposed to Knit Picks and it is lovely…here take a look!

And look at how wonderful it is knitting up!

This is the bottom piece and now I have the top and then the sides to do! I love how this is working up and I can’t wait to see it felted.

So you are asking is this all you are working on right now???? The answer is no…I am working on 3 blanket patterns (I am looking for yarn support so I can start knitting them up), I did get the yarn support from Berroco for my scarf, hat and mitten pattern so I am working on knitting those up and writing the pattern at the same time. I am also working on the pillows to go with the Shadow Tuffet, that pattern should be done next week. Oh and I am knitting a sample shawl for a designer I work with.

Oh I also forgot to tell you the Off to the Races Wrap is now available on Knit Picks! It is so exciting to see. OK well I am going back to my knitting and I will post again soon!

Celtic Tree of Life

My newest pattern is available for purchase it is a fillet Crochet pattern of the Celtic Tree of life.  Please go to my second page to purchase it.

The Tuffet is coming!

I am happy to introduce my newest pattern that will be available in about 2-3 weeks.  It is the Shadow Tuffet and is part of a set which will be available in 3 parts or as a e-book type of thing with all 3 patterns in it.  The tuffet comes in 3 sizes 12" x 12", 18" x 18" and 24" x 24"!  The second pattern in this group will be throw pillows which consist of a bolster pillow and a square pillow and then the 3rd part will be a throw blanket.  They will all have the same cable pattern on them. 

Now for the even more exciting news!  Knit Picks is interested in a felted version of the Tuffet!  It will be called Felted Foot Stool and will be knit up in the 24" x 24" size and then felted!  They are sending me the yarn now and then I will knit up the sample and send it on to them for final decision!  As you know this will be my 3rd pattern with them as they are going live with my Off to the Races wrap in the next 2-3 weeks and they will be going live with my Ribbons of Love socks in the next 3-4 weeks! 

I also have a filet crochet pattern that will be coming out in the next week or so and will be available here and on Ravelry.  It is called Celtic Tree of life and here it is

There will be a set of 3 Celtic filet crochet patterns in total.
I am also thinking of doing this as a knitted throw blanket but I haven't worked on the pattern yet.
