Testing, Testing... 1, 2, 3

Now that I'm starting to get my knitting mojo back it's about time I get to writing up some patterns.  This week I have found the time to work up a few prototypes- it's so much fun to be knitting again.


These projects remind me of how much I love colorwork. There's something so satisfying about seeing the colors come together to form such a simple (and seemingly) intricate design.



And speaking of patterns, my Lansing Cowl and Beret Pattern will finally be available for purchase on Ravelry next week- be on the lookout!

    I really love the mitt prototype. I just purchased the yarn to try my first pair of Camilla mitts from Spilly Jane.I too am entertained watching colour work up.

    Your Lansing Beret & Cowl are beautiful!

    I agree, it's very difficult to get out of the knitting funk. I haven't designed anything in 2 weeks and it feels weird :( Glad you're back!

    Very beautiful, but do you knit and design while sleeping? How do you find the time :D

    Im still a bit of a novice when it come to choose yarn. DO you think Tosh vintage would work for the lansing cowl. It is worsted weight but it is superwash 100% merino. Described as swishy
    What do think...it is so beautiful

    @Beth

    I think Tosh vintage would be stunning!

    The colorwork on the mittens (?) is beautiful. Bright and warm. The beret and cowl also look great. I don't quite "get" the cowl craze, a long scarf is my preference. But the cowl looks like a great gift. Something about the circle makes it looks as if I might finish it whereas scarves seem to go on forever.

    Do you use the magic loop method for your mitts?
