New Projects

I’ve not put up any new projects lately. Here are a couple.

More Leaves

Another leaf sweater. This one was knit top down with Rowan 4-ply cotton.It was a very easy knit. I’ll write a pattern after I finish writing the other patterns I’m working on.

Sporty Tank

This is the pattern that I’m almost done writing. Nice sporty tank and it’s very comfortable.

Herringbone Lace Blouse

And this blouse which I’ve already posted a pictureof but I think this one came out better!

A short post

A short post, related to the last one with a link.
More about this later, with more photos and more links.

Another tease

Just another photo to tease you all the more.

Okay, another.

Argh!

I did not realize how badly I have been neglecting this. I have plenty to say though but I need to collect my thoughts first. So for now, just this short post and one pretty picture.
