 and a scarf, hat and mitten set I am designing (sorry no pictures as this is being proposed to a magazine), ok that is knitting LOL.

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!
