Time really flies when you are having fun. Working almost exclusively on projects for publication left me with little to blog about for a long while. But as the time for the release of some of these patterns nears I can start sharing a few hints here and there.

The Cashmiracle project is due to be released later this month. It has been difficult to keep quiet about it but since Gryphon has spilled the beans, at least a few of them, I can tell you a little about it too. I am thrilled to say that one of my patterns will be featured in the Winter pattern collection for Sanguine Gryphon. It has been a real pleasure to work with the Sanguine Gryphon crew. I have been madly in love with their yarn for a while so it was a huge treat to get to try out their newest yarn, Gaia Fingering, affectionately dubbed Cashmiracle. Here is an in progress photo.

And another little teaser:

Now that I have finished with all the stealth projects for a while, I have had a chance to work on a couple of designs for myself. This lace hat is destined for a Christmas gift.

The yarn is Sanguine Gryphon Skinny Bugga in Beyer’s Scarab Beetle told you I was addicted to their yarn. I love that vibrant green. Hope the lucky recipient will love it too. The really cool thing about this pattern is that it looks totally cool on the reverse side so it is like getting two hats in one. The pattern is currently in test knitting so it should be available in a few weeks.

I have also have a new shawl design in test knitting.

This is an in progress photo because I had to rework the border a tiny bit. The yarn is Dodge Creation Dyeworks in Plum Blossom. As soon as it warms up a little I hope to get some decent photos. This pattern is also in test knitting and should be available in two to three weeks.

I also have several other hat designs in progress that I will be telling you about in the coming weeks.
