hat crazy

Here's another one (on loan) from Hannah. This pattern is called the Day Beret which is featured in Knitbot Essentials (both child and adult versions). The hat is knit using the yummy yarn, Acadia. I love these two colors together!

Here is another wonderful gift we received from my friend Anna (original owner of Knit Wit yarn shop). Spring in Maine requires wool.

It's a sleepy, rainy morning here in Portland. I was just looking through some photos and, though I don't want to bombard you with images of my daughter, I can't help but share these. Maybe it is because after a long winter, I'm excited to be outdoors with Immie again.

These are from Friday evening. She wanted to bring her ukelele outside to rock out for a bit. Then, she seemed to find it enjoyable to collect petals (from the ground and the tree). Looking very serious....

sibella babe

I am very happy to release the Sibella Babe pattern today!

Sibella babe is an easy, bottom-up pullover worked in Quince & Company's soft chickadee yarn. Immie is wearing the 18 month size (she is 15 months old), and as you can see, there's still room to grow. Just the way I like my hand-knits for babes to be.

Imogen and I went to the Audubon Society to take these pictures. She had so much fun running around—it made my job of trying to get a good shot very difficult. Tricky, tricky indeed.

Sibella babe pattern is available on Madder and Ravelry.

Hope you all have a marvelous weekend,
xo

Here is my favorite shot from that day. Immie zonked out from all her fun.

The sibella babe pattern is almost ready—I'm just having a good friend (thanks C!) look it over. Never hurts to be thorough.
