Squish!

Where would I be without you, my little sister who sometimes acts like the big sister? SARAH, I am so proud to be your sister and so happy that you're happy. This hat is named after you. Love you. 

SARAHJAY is a ribbed hat that knits up quickly with chunky yarn and utilizes two needle sizes to ensure a great cozy fit. It is a hat that "gets you". Haha. 

Yarn: Knitpicks Brava Bulky

Colorway: Fairy Tale

 

SARAHJAY. Who knew all those letter-writing, angst filled years ago what a journey our friendship would take together. I may not see you for months/years but you're still my "BFF". 

What an amazing woman you have become. Love you, mama!

SHANNON cowl

Hello my peeps. 

Want a cowl to go with your JANE hat? Meet SHANNON! 

Shannon is an elegant chunky cowl featuring squishy ribbed cables and lace and requires only a single skein of bulky yarn. This cowl is fully reversible and can be dressed up or down. 

Way back in the mommyHOOD days I met Shannon and have grown to love her dearly. 

Shannon you are uniquely talented, your creative overflow inspires so many including me and I love ya to pieces. Not to mention you are so generous with your advice and friendship. 

Hope you enjoy this pattern. xo.  

I don't know what's up with my camera, but this is the actual color of the cowl.

BECCA

I've been in a fog for, well, months really. Even the holidays went by fairly unceremoniously due to sickness of one family member or another. 

Now it's time to get healthy, get out of the funk, and be productive! 

Speaking of productive, here is Becca, my latest hat pattern. 

yarn: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes

colorway: Icicle Heather

This hat ("toque" if you live north of he-ah) is an easy knit that requires little effort to achieve great looking results. 

Becca, the happy Northerner of Nook, is a knitty pal and I'm so glad our paths crossed many moons ago. 

Dear Becca, 

You are a great listener, fun and funny, not to mention have "mad knitting skillz". You're an amazing mama to that awesome little man! I truly feel that we are kindred spirits and am lucky to have met you! Can't wait to knit (and chow down) with you! So many exclamation points! 

Thank you for your friendship! xo

yarn: Cascade 220 worsted 

colorway: Ruby

Of course I had a most excellent helper to get it looking just right!

Happy Knitting!
