New look, new hosting company, new day.
Busy Needles!
Yep, I’ve had busy needles as of late!
A friend had a baby not too terribly long ago, and I made this for her as a babymooning gift:
Molly's Gifty
Pattern: Yvaine by Liz Abinante, somewhat modified — or Ravelled
Yarn: Wisdom Poems Sock
Needles: 5.0 mm (US 
16″ circular
I love the shawl pattern. It’s simple, versatile, and showcases yarn fabulously. I’m sure to make many (that was my second). Liz has a bunch of other awesome patterns that you should check out too.

And now I have a handful of other projects on the needles but I’ll write about those another time!
Sock it to me!
Two new patterns are available!
Scrappy Sockdown – A Toe-Up Pattern and Jellybean’s Special Socks. These are Ravelry links, and these patterns will be made available in my website’s store soon.
Scrappy Sockdown – A Toe-Up Pattern is written as a basic sock but covers a huge variety of gauges, so it is SURE to fit your knitting style, yarn choice, and needle preference!
Jellybean’s Special Socks is a large baby/toddler/small child’s sock pattern, written for BOTH cuff-down AND toe-up construction!
Go check them out now so you too can load up your needles!

I knit these over the last week. (It’s Carassius by Kristin Bellehumeur, from the Sock Yarnista Club by Three Irish Girls.)
Sooooo pretty. Love them.
