New Book Series (PART 3)
New England Knits
by Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre
I have been eyeing this new book from Interweave Press for quite some time! There are some lovely patterns in this book – designed by the authors to “…showcase the weather, colors and culture of the region….”
Sweaters, mittens, hats and even a gorgeous skirt all come together in this book. I’m hoping to do the lovely Montague Bulky Lace Vest (if I find some time!)
Caitlin knit up the Brattleboro Hat pattern during our weekly stitch n bitch on wednesday day nite’s! It was a quick, simple knit with a beautiful finished product (see below). She knit it up in the brand new Malabrigo Rios yarn – a superwash merino from Malabrigo! It used only 1 skein and is a great hat! We have it on display at the store for a few weeks!
Speaking of hats I am also including a GREAT picture of Caitlin and Bohdan hanging out at the store. Bohdan is now wearing the Retro Flying Helmet from the Sublime Book #600 – 15 designs for babies and kids. I blogged about the hat before he was born here.
if caitlin’s hair were its usual colour they would match beautiful!
