Have you seen Liesl's first pattern, the Henny Hat? It's beautiful. It has a simple lace pattern and just the right amount of slouch. The pattern is well written and includes both charted and written directions. It's a quick knit too, so it's perfect if you're looking for a project to curl up with this weekend.
I was lucky enough to be able to test the hat pattern and a skein of Buckaloo View black walnut yarn. I'm smitten with the rich caramel color the black walnuts gave to this wool-alpaca blend and can't wait until Liesl opens her shop so I can get my hands on some more. Wouldn't this yarn look great as a cardigan?

Have you tried any new patterns lately? I'm excited about Canopy, Charcoal & Ash, and the colorwork patterns in the latest issue of Pom Pom Quarterly.
Very nice and it looks lovely on you :)

Thank you, Allison! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pattern and the yarn.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining in the Canopy KAL and am so excited. I really couldn't resist it! I didn't think I'd be able to but with all of the figuring and math and whatnot required for the designs I'm working on, it'll be a treat to take breaks and instead *follow* a pattern.
It looks stunning, Allison! The yarn would look great for a cardigan indeed.
ReplyDeletePerfect color. Stylish outfit. Winner!
ReplyDeleteit's lovely! That yarn knit up so beautifully, the color is perfect!
