Christmas and New Year Patterns, Arriving in December

Just in time for last-minute Christmas gifts, or for some wonderfully selfish New Year knitting for yourself, are:

Marquess, Pattern Coming the First Week of December

Flintshire, Pattern Coming the Second Week of December

And who knows? I new shawl might even sneak in there somewhere.

Butterfly Forest Shawl

I have yet a new pattern up on Ravelry! It's been a long time coming, but it's here!

It's the Butterfly Forest Shawl, and I have to say I'm a little bit in love with it.



It's available for 3.00 GBP (about $4.92 USD at today's exchange rate) as a Ravelry download (link will take you to Paypal).

Free Hat Pattern Available

A hat pattern that shall not be named, just in case the intended recipient happens to stumble onto my blog, has been posted on Ravelry. It's a simple man's knit, and even better, it's free!

Also finished up another Christmas present: Elijah by Ysolda.

Done with 1.5 skeins of Mirasol Yarn Samp'a, an AMAZING organic cotton yarn that is nowhere near as splitty as most organic cotton I've used. Plus the proceeds go to supporting community projects in the Andes in Peru, which has a very special place in my heart.
