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.
