Spring is in the air…
Hi everyone!
I’ve been working on a new spring knitting pattern using Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Robin’s Egg Blue. It’s such a beautiful colour and such a great name!
I don’t usually do lacey knits, but thought I would give it try.
Here’s a bit of a sneak peek. The front panels are almost done and I’ll be starting on the back this weekend.
Well off to keep working on this.
Have a great Saturday!
Happy knitting.

A customers cushions…
Hello!
I just wanted to share with you some cushions that were made by a customer using my “Horizon” cushion cover pattern and my “Sunset” cushion cover pattern.
She changed the colours up to co-ordinate with her decor and they turned out absolutely amazing!
Thank you for sharing “S”!!
You can get these patterns over at loveknitting.com. Click here for the “Horizon” cushion cover pattern and here for the “Sunset” cushion cover pattern (this one is FREE!). 😉
Happy knitting!
Cushion #3 is done…
Good afternoon everyone!
I’ve completed the last cushion cover of the “Seaside Collection” – the “Sunset” cushion cover.
Here it is:
And you can click here for the FREE pattern!! 😀
If you’re interested in making ALL the cushions in the collection, the other 2 patterns can be found over at loveknitting.com.
Happy knitting!
Third cushion cover in the collection…
Hello there.
So here’s the start of the third cushion cover in the “Seaside” collection.
I’ll be writing a pattern for this cushion cover also. It’s going to be FREE so stay tuned!! 😀
I have a long drive into work now that we’ve moved, and I’ve been very inspired by some wildflowers I’ve seen growing along the sides of the county roads.
Here’s the colour palette of my next collection of cushion covers.
I have ideas in my mind of how I would like the cushions covers to look, but I don’t know yet how to bring my ideas to life, but I’ll figure it out!!
Off to finish this last cushion cover so I can get started on the new collection.
Happy knitting!
Cushion pattern…
My “Horizon” cushion cover pattern is now available for sale over at loveknitting.com.
I created it to go with the “Lost At Sea” cushion cover. I used 100% Rico cotton. I just LOVE this yarn! It knits up so well.
Such a great simple weekend project for the beginner knitter!
Happy knitting!
Cushion #2 finished…
Hi there.
I managed to finish my cushion this weekend.
Here it is!
I had initially thought that the natural end with the navy stripe would be the top, but when I placed it next to the first cushion I designed, it didn’t quite look right. So, I turned it over, and viola, I love it!!
The “Horizon” pattern will be coming soon.
Happy knitting!
Second in the set…
Hi there!
I just wanted to pop in and give you a peek at the second cushion cover in the set I’m designing. I just have to finish sewing up the sides and pop in a cushion!
I call this one “Horizon” and I’ll be writing a pattern for it also.
Once I have this cushion completed, I’ll share some photos of it along with the first cushion I made.
Happy knitting and enjoy your weekend!
Colourful dish cloths…
Good morning!
I just wanted to share some dish cloths that I made for my neighbour.
She is the sweetest lady always baking us cookies, so I wanted to make something for her to say “Thank you”.
The pattern for the dish cloth is FREE and you can find it here.
I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran for the dish cloths that I purchased from loveknitting.com.
They have so many different colours and it’s great to work with.
So I’ve decided that 2017 is going to be a year of knitting socks and pillow cushion covers. I already have my first pillow cushion cover on the needles and a shopping cart of yarn over at loveknitting.com for the socks just waiting to be purchased (I want to get my pillow cushion cover done first, but I don’t know if I can wait!! LOL!!)
I hope you have plans to do a ton of knitting in 2017 too!
Happy New Year!
Quick weekend project…
Hi there.
Over the weekend, I decided to use up some cotton yarn I had left from another project and make a dish towel.
It was a really fast project and super simple utilizing only the Garter stitch (knitting every row).
I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran from loveknitting.com for this project. It’s one of my favourite yarns to work with.
Well, off to start another dish towel. This time I’m going to make one to go with the dish cloth I made the other weekend.
Happy knitting!
