Let the Testing Begin!

Completely unexpectedly, Ludi is now finished except for having some decent photos taken. This is the best I could do with an iPhone camera and me as the photographer. Thanks to software, most of the writing was already done, I just had to add some details and format. Sometimes, technology rocks! So now I am starting the testing process on Ravelry, with the goal being to have a finished product available on December 20th!

Ludi is the Latin word for games or festivals. This slouchy hat is fun and playful with the cables and textures, but will still keep you warm all winter. 

PS I couldn't resist a Harry Potter reference in the title of the post.

Long Time Coming

It's hard to believe it has been almost one year ago exactly that I last posted. The downside of studying abroad and senior year, I guess. I have patterns for a hat, shawl, and a cowl that should be available once I get the chance to write them up and knit decent test samples. The hat and cowl patterns, Ludi and Putnam respectively, will be available most likely in late December when I have a chance to finish the samples and take pictures. I wonder if I could convince a friend to pose for them...

I took advantage of the Cyber Monday sale at Knit Picks. I have this idea for a baby blanket with a little bit of intarsia on it. It would be the silhouette of a baby on a tricycle following by it's parents on bikes. Considering I am related to so many cyclists, I figure it will be perfect for whoever has a baby first. I ordered a bunch of Basalt and Green Tea Simply Cotton Worsted that they had on sale for 50% off. Crossing my fingers that they can fill it!
