Happy Halloween

This year when I asked T what she would like to be for Halloween she immediately said

A Pumpkin!

Ok I thought a pumpkin will be easy…. until she said “I want you to knit me a pumpkin!”

ummmmm really???

At first I really was going to knit her a pumpkin costume but when we walked into music class and saw THE perfect pumpkin in her size for sale she forgot all about the knit one.

I did however make her a little pumkin top to go with it.

A simple little fascinator attached to a headband that worked perfectly.

I used Cabin Fever Northern Wool in the Pumpkin Colourway and a bit of extra cascade 220 held doubled I had left over from Woodstove Season. I whipped this up in about 20 minutes!

Of course there is no show without Punch…. eerrr Molly!

She has been in every Halloween photo so far so why should this one be any different.

Poor Molly wasn’t too interested in pictures this time…. it was around the time that daddy comes home from work and she was listening very carefully for truck. I see I will have to time my photo shoots around home time from now on!

 Now if you’ll excuse us we’re off to take this little pumpkin trick or treating!

Stormont Kid/Baby

As I said in the previous post, Stormont will be available in kids sizes too.

Here is a look at the  6 – 18mths size.

I knit this one up in Valley Yarns Northampton in light grey complete with pom pom!

The perfect cabled  topper to keep your little ones warm this winter.

 For those a bit older, the 18mth- 4yrs size,

knit with Paton’s Classic Wool in Paprika.

This really is a pattern that suits the whole family!

Testing is going well and Stormont’s release is coming right up!

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later…..

My first design – Stormont.

Stormont is a unisex cabled toque featuring a celtic ring design on the front and back.

The sizing ranges from 6mths – large adult and is a great winter accessory for anyone in the family.

My sample is knit in Madelinetosh Vintage colourway Composition Book Grey.

This was my first time working with Tosh and I must say it creates a wonderful fabric.

I’m looking forward to working with more Tosh soon.

 It is with much excitement and nervousness that I get ready to release this into the wild.

It is currently in testing and will hopefully be available to you shortly!

I’ll be back later this week with a T sized version of Stormont.

You’ll see  just how great this looks on little ones too!
