birthday hat

Today is Dylan's first birthday celebration. He is my friend Gina's son and I made this hat for him. Isager wool on US3 needles. I like having the subtle contrasting stripe and binding around the tassels.

At the farmer's market this morning: 

white and dusty blue

Isager 50% alpaca, 50% wool on US3 needles

7 stitches x 9 rows per inch 

mushroom and red beanie

Fall is coming! The weather has been glorious—crisp and delightful. It's a good time for cleaning up the garden and the house as well. I wanted to finish up some balls of yarn with this mushroom and red cashmerino on US5 needles. Love the colors, not my favorite design. 

5.5 stitches x 8 rows per inch

cashmere feather

This is my first project made with 100% cashmere. It's so soft and smooth to work with. I felt like my hands were getting some sort of special treatment. This is knit with US3 needles. I just can't seem to get a good photo of this, it keeps going really blue when it's actually a quiet little green.

cashmere!

Just a soft little swatch for now.
