I have a published pattern!





I'm so very proud to present my second published knitting pattern, "Wendy". It's a feminine hat with chic styling and can be worn year-round. I worked very hard to make sure there are no mistakes, but please let me know if you run into one.
The hat is a beginner friendly knit as well as interesting enough for the more experienced. It will soon become your favorite go-to gift knit because after one repeat you will have the pattern memorized!

enjoy!
Have a great weekend!

Pink


Pink! More Pink! Four freaking shades of it. 

My sister is an avid pink fan. Pink camouflage always wins in her wardrobe. Her birthday is coming up the first part of March, but I couldn't wait to give this to her. When she's out feeding the horses in 27' weather, I feel guilty. "Gee I know how to knit- why can't I get off the computer long enough to whip up a hat?" has been the guilt trip of the month.

I've been entranced by the hat trend. Bombers, animals, monsters oh my! I am physically unable to knit that fast. 







My little yarn shop, Bombshell Yarns is getting some attention. I have taught four people to knit so far. So excited!

My newest design, 'Wendy' will be available for sale on the Ravelry site by the end of the month. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does.








Joe's Aspergers seems to have improved. He gets such quality help at school with the in-house Autism specialist, it's amazing how well he has improved his social skills (especially speech!) I'm so proud of that little boy.
I'm off to sew some hearts. Inspiration took over yesterday about 3am, I have the aftermath to finish.
