Free Pattern Friday! - Burly Spun Grey Owl Cowl by Juju Vail (Loop London)

Happy Friday!

 

I can't believe how fast this week went by!

 

I seriously thought today was Wednesday!

 

:)

Anyway...

 

This here's the Burly Spun Grey Owl Cowl by Juju Vail of Loop London.

Isn't it so cute?

You know I love my cables!

I came across this blog (and site) through the old Facebook...

 

and I'm excited to have a new knitting blog to follow!

 



Happy Friday!

What are your plans for this weekend?

 

:)





Spud and Chloe Buga Baby Bunting #9210

Pattern: Spud and Chloe Buga Baby Bunting # 9210

 

Yarn: Spud and Chloe Outer (in Bubble # 7213)

 

Needles: 16" circulars in Size 13, 24" circulars in Size 11 and Size 10 double pointed

 

Mods: None

 

 

YAY!!! Another one done!

 

I have been a "crazy knitting lady" lately and am really powering through my yarn stash!

 

I honestly can't even remember when I bought this yarn and I think I bought it at the Yarn Lady (when she was still around).

 

This is the Spud and Chloe Outer in Bubble and it's so cute!

 

It looks a lot more Blue in pictures, than it really is in real life.

It is truly like a light grey blue.... The name Bubble is perfect to describe it's color!

This one goes to a friend of ours who lives up in the Bay Area and she is due pretty soon!

 

Since it gets cold up there, this cozy hunting will be perfect for new baby!

 

This pattern is super easy and it works so fast!

You know I love my fast combo -

 

Chunky yarn + Big Needles = fast project!

 

:)

 



 

This is a Susan B. Anderson pattern so you know it's easy to read and follow...

The little ears were quick & easy to make on the size 10 double pointeds!

 

I think I could have had better placement but they are still cute!





The only thing I did not do was the optional I-Cord button and loop.

 

It's not that I didn't want to or that it seemed hard...

It's that I liked the way the front collar neck opens with one a V-shape.

 

 

 

I hope they like it too!

Lang Yarns Mia Slouchy Hat

• Pattern: Atelier Yarns (San Anselmo, CA) Pattern # 217
• Yarn: Lang Yarns Mia Color # 816.0003 (80% Alpaca/20% Acrylic)
• Needles: 16" circular Size 4 and 16" circular Size 8 (due to MY crazy loose gauge)
• Mods: none

And this is done!

 

 

I busted this hat out about a day or two before we left for New York and literally finished it in an afternoon/evening!

I bought this yarn back in January (on one of our trips up north) at Atelier Yarns in San Anselmo, where El Hub has some family!

 

This yarn shop (and the whole town itself) is so cute!

If you are ever in the bay area, definitely go check both out!

:)

 

This pattern was free with purchase of yarn but I think you can tell how to make this quick and easy hat just by looking at the hat itself.

 

Cast on a certain amount of stitches, do a rib for a few rows (or a few inches) then

knit for a certain amount, do some decreases and THE END!

 

:)

This Lang Mia yarn is GORGEOUS but I'm wondering what's going on with it!

It's not on the Lang site anymore... and it's on sale at WEBS and Chelsea Yarn.

This yarn is wonderfully soft and slouchy... perfect for this pattern!

 



This hat came in so handy for the chilly windy days!

Look at that gorgeous Manhattan skyline in the background!

We were at the Williamsburg Flea in Brooklyn on this day and

it was a beautiful (but chilly!) day out!

 

We've been home from New York just about a month now and I miss it so much already!

Free Pattern Friday! - Mother's Day Edition!

Happy Friday and Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

 

Here are two cute Mother's Day inspired patterns.

 

This one is the "Mother's Day Vest" by Rosemary Drysdale.

 

(You can also find it at the Tahki Yarns site here!)

 

It's cute, isn't it?  Seems like it would work fast.



And how cute is this little "Winged Heart Tattoo" by annypurls!

(Check out some of her other cute patterns too here!)

 



I love that the heart has wings!!!

 

:)

What are you doing for Mother's Day?

 

El Hub and Peanut are taking me to L.A. for an LA day tomorrow...

 

and then they are making me breakfast on Sunday!

 

I am a lucky girl!

Free Pattern Friday! - Whit's Knits: Beautiful Spring Scarf

I have been totally obsessed with Pink and Grey (and Pink and Black, too!) as a color combo!

So when I saw this post on the ol' PurlBee blog,

I knew this would be my next Free Pattern Friday!

 

This is the Beautiful Spring Scarf by Whitney.

 

It seems easy enough and I love how a quick pop of color can really bring life to a simple accessory!

 



 

Happy Friday!
