Aubergine Swing jacket

Introducing Rita from our wonderful Friday morning knitting group. Here she's wearing the lovely swinging jacket she made out of 5 balls of the super soft Rowan Belle Organic...in aubergine (we decided that was the best description of the color).

So pretty!

Stitch Night + Harry Potter

Thanks to everyone who came out for our Stitch Night last night. It was a lot of fun! Sadly, I didn't finish any of my projects (too chatty, I guess), but I did make some progress. We'll be doing it every week so join us next Thursdays from 5:30-7:30.

And, in honor of Harry Potter 7 Part 2....do you remember Amy? She was making the Harry Potter inspired bag that I posted about a while back...well, here she is...hard at work on it.

And here's her amazing graph, plotting out the design on the bag...

And here is how far she's come. No, it won't be finished by the time she is scheduled to see the movie (today, I think). But hopefully she'll come back to Stitch Night and keep us posted on her project. Go Amy!

We love knitting and sewing projects!

Thursday project is complements of Caroline of SockPixie. Those of you who know Caroline or follow her SockPixie blog know how talented she is: she knits, she sews, she designs patterns, she spins, she dyes, she does it all (and I'm probably forgetting something). We love her work and her creativity. Caroline's latest project (apart from the tiny human she is incubating) is the sweet brown sweater and pants above (for said tiny human coming this fall). The pants are made from one of my favorite fabrics, Ukelele by Birch 100% organic. How adorable and I just love those toggle buttons! Stay tuned for a whole post devoted to Caroline's sweet sweaters..she's made about 4 so far by my count and more on the way...
