Yarn Along~ Treasure Vest & Treasure Cardigan

I am so excited about the release of my new knitting patterns "Treasure Vest" & "Treasure Cardigan". I have been working on these patterns for a long time and it is so exciting to finally release them into the world. I have made five different ones and I currently have another one on the needles!

I have made many adjustments to the pattern over the past year.  I wanted it to be just right and I am very pleased with how it has turned out.

I knitted the vest and cardigans with Fibre Company Canopy Worsted. I really love this yarn and I love both knitting with it and I am loving how it wears. I also made one with Sweitzer's Fiber Mill yarn that I purchased at Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. It is a combination of Yak/Baby Camel/Silk/Merino.  I am so excited to visit Sweitzer's Fiber Mill's booth at Rhinebeck this year to see what other lovely yarn they have come up with.

The patterns are charted and worked flat in sections using a US7 needle and worsted weight yarn.

I have been trying these on lots of different people with lots of different body types and I love how they look on everyone! I even love the vest on kids worn over a dress.

They are intended to be worn open, but can easily be closed with button or a shawl pin.

Thank to you everyone that has helped me getting these pattern released!!!

Yarn Along

I am so excited to be back sharing on the Yarn Along!  It has been too long. I have been spinning yarn and knitting so much over the past few months. I had Tiny at the farm with me today and he was a champ at modeling some of Blue's yarn that I have recently spun. I can't wait to knit it up. I have so much more of his fleece to spin, but I thought I would make a small batch and start knitting with that to see how I want to spin the rest of his two fleeces.

I have been very busy working on a new pattern "Treasure Vest". I am so excited to say it is very close to being released!!!  I have made many different samples of it in different sizes. I have knitted, unknitted, knitted and unknitted and then knitted it again and again to get it just how I want it. The pattern is being tested and the pattern is with my graphic designer so I should be releasing the pattern soon!

In the mean time Treasure is being pampered at the farm and kept cool on these HOT days.  She is the inspiration for this pattern. 

For reading I have been listening to the audio book "Written in My Own Heart's Blood". It is the final book in the Outlander series. I am SOOOOO sad that this is the last book, but I am so happy that I have the Starz versions to watch in the future. I have enjoyed these books immensely!

After I release "Treasure Vest" I will be doing a lot of spinning and knitting from my handspun yarn. I am hoping to be back sharing on the Yarn Along regularly now that I won't be working on too many of my own secretive patterns.
