FO Friday

Not alot of blogging this month, but much knitting . . . some of which I can show.
One such piece is my design that, as it turns out, pays homage to Little Red Riding Hood. 

The Escallop Beaded Capelet:

The perceptive may notice that there are Escallop Mitts, as well - cleverly worn here by my favorite model in such a way as to disguise her need for a manicure.

I didn't really think hoods were my sort of thing, but I am completely in love with this one! The question remains whether to put a little pompom on the pointy little hood top.

 

And since we're talking frivolity here, let's see a closeup of those poms:

 

These will be coming soon for test knitting; meanwhile you can see the project pages on Ravelry, for capelet and mitts.

WIP Wednesday - Razor Bolero

I've been quietly, madly knitting away on a few things, including the revitalized Razor Bolero; a re-gauged, re-yarned and graded cropped cardi.

This was a one-off, one-size (mine) design I put out there, with the inspired name Razor Boob-Olero.

Now, thanks to the KnitPicks Independent Designer Partnership Program, it will be re-released in Gloss DK, and a full size range.

Here it is in my favorite color:

Look for the pattern in late summer or early fall.
