Another quiet week in blog land..

By
At least on my end. I'm still prepping feverishly for the craft fair next weekend and so I don't have much to share with you all. I'm so sorry about that. Hopefully I'll have more to give you after the fair is over. I'm sure I'll have a lot of interesting tales and anecdotes from the craft fair. I'm so excited. Wish me luck!

If you live in or are planning to visit the Bay Area around April 21st, please come check out this craft fair.  Have a wonderful week!


PS: Here's a gratuitous picture of a little neck scarf I made a while ago, just because a blog post doesn't seem complete without a picture of an FO. The pattern is from the Classic Elite Yarns Soft Linen booklet "Make it Modern" which was printed in 2008. It's called "Soft Linen Little Leaf Scarf" by Pam Allen.

    I will be happy to wish you luck. I really appreciate the details on the companies you used to print your tags and business cards. They are beautiful. Nicely designed and representative of the type of work that you do. So... Good Luck ... a second time. Claudine

      Thank you so much Claudine, and thanks for visiting me at the fair. I'm halfway through with the scarf. I expect to be steam blocking it tonight so I can hand it over to you tomorrow. :)

Hello Spring! Here's a new free pattern!

By
Spring is FINALLY showing up in full force over here. I'm seeing flower petals floating along on the (STRONG) winds we've been having here in the Bay Area. To celebrate this change of seasons, here is a free pattern for a scarf that I designed last year. I called it Colliding Stars after my friend Melissa, who owns a calligraphy and design business called...you guessed it - Colliding Stars . She saw the initial sample of this scarf that I knit in some random green yarn I had in my stash. (Funny story - I bought the yarn from a fellow Ravelrer who had dyed it a bright neon green. I took it and overdyed the scarf a dark green, but I think I agitated the yarn too much so it had this sort of semi-felted look to it. Pretty interesting). Anyway, here are a few pictures of the initial Colliding Stars scarf, and the pattern follows. You can download a pdf version of the pattern here or on Ravelry . Colliding Stars Denise A. F.

A new free pattern: Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf v1

By
Today I have a new pattern for all my knitters out there. It's a very simple pattern that creates a gorgeous, warm shawl, just in time for the cold weather. I actually finished this last year but only got the chance to write it up and put it up now. Here it is, the "Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf". Thanks to my friend Johanna P. for modeling this at work about a year ago!! The pattern has also been added to Ravelry here .  Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf A friend of mine saw a shawl similar to this somewhere and asked me to recreate it. I did my best to imitate the look of the shawl, but I cannot for sure say that it’s the same shawl. I thought I’d share the pattern with anyone who might be interested in a light but warm shawl made by striping thin cotton yarn with bulky single ply wool yarn. Because of the lightness of the bulky wool, this shawl can also be worn as a scarf by wrapping it around your neck. The finished product is classy and elegant for very...
