Woobie Pattern Collection - Series 1

It's hard to believe that I'm even writing this.

I'm proud to announce that The Woobie Pattern Collection - Series 1 is complete. It's a downloadable ebook collection of all 8 Woobies.

I hired the most adorable baby to model the Woobies ~ Joey is his name. He was wonderful and I love this shot!

I also hired an awesome tech editor, Katherine Vaughan who helped me every step of the way...especially keeping me consistent. Highly recommend her services.

I also could not have done it without those Awesome Testers! Which you can see listed here on the Ravelry board. Come join us!

When I finished the first one and she tried it on her first reaction was "Itchy!" ~oh boy. Well, that's when I decided to add a cuff liner in the most softest yarn I had in my stash. Ambrosia. It's like heaven.

Brookstone

I'm proud to announce that Kollage Yarns has just released one of my new designs for their spring collection. Say hello to Brookstone.

I was really inspired by the colors of Kollages Sock-a-licious yarn. The variegated yarn has so much depth and it married beautifully with the solids. The window pane design allows the colors to fade and transition giving it a delicate touch.

The yarn was an absolute dream to work with... Sock-a-licious is a fingering weight merino, silk and nylon blend. Seriously? You can't go wrong with merino and silk!!

The Brookstone pattern set is consisted of a tam, cowl and mitts which is perfect for those cool spring mornings. What is even better is that all you need to complete the full set is one skein in each colorway.

I couldn't have done this project with out the my crew. Huge thanks goes out to Knitterary and Amy at Writing Weaver for their fantastic efforts and tight deadlines. You guys are the best!

If you're interested in purchasing the Brookstone pattern you can find it for pdf download on Patternfish.

FO: Tourbillon Mitts

Pattern: Tourbillon Mitts by Kris Carlson (me)

Yarn: 3 skeins of Sandnes Garn Lenett in yellow, white and blue

Needles: US 2 dpn

Started: August 5, 2011

Finished: December 31, 2011



I loved designing this pattern and hated having to mail it off to the publication, so I cast on for my own pair. The yarn is a lighter weight and it is a more snug fit, but it works and I love them.
