Hello Knitting friends!
I finally finished my Pumpkin Pie Shawl.  It took me a while to design, knit and format instructions. I was inspired by Elizabeth Zimmerman's pi shawl.  Only instead of knitting in the round and being round, I wanted it to be curved to fit around the shoulders, and knitted back and forth on circular needles.  I used KnitPicks Palette fingering weight yarn in 4 pumpkin-like colors for a warm autumn feel.  I hope that you like it!  It is available for purchase from ravelry and craftsy for $4.00--for immediate download.

Have a great day!

Hello everyone!

What a lovely fall day we had here in Maine!  We are having a very nice week in October finally after quite a bit of rain. The only leaves left are the beech and the oak trees. 
Here are my two beloved kitties--Callie and Cocoa.  One of them is usually in my lap when I am working on my knitting designs. I just can't design a knitting pattern without them!
Have a fun day knitting!

Hello Fellow knitters!

I just added last Friday the 19th of October 2012, a new knitting pattern design.  I really think it is so pretty.  It is rather a fantasy scarf.  Called Shetland's Fairy Scarf.  It was so fun to create and knit.  I couldn't put it down.  I knitted it in KnitPicks Lace yarn that was just the right color for the pattern. You can find it in Ravelry and Craftsy. Here are links to this pattern below:

Good Morning happy knitters!
I took some lovely pictures of my yard yesterday with the fall colors.  They are showing up more every day. Here in western Maine, the colors are almost at their peak. Too bad they fall off so quickly.  The colors are certainly inspirational to designing new scarves.

Here is another new scarf pattern that I finished in September--Diamonds and Winding Ribbons Lace Scarf. This one was also knitted in a KnitPicks lace yarn. The pattern is charted as well as written out, so it makes it easier to knit following the instructions.  I am trying to improve my patterns every time I make a new one.
