Happy Birthday Paige!

Happy 14th birthday to my wonderful daughter, Paige!  I am so proud of you!

Gossamer Smocked Tunic Pattern!

Link to Interweave Knits Spring 2011 Preview

It's almost here!  The preview for Interweave Knits Spring 2011 is up and available for your viewing pleasure.  The magazine will be on bookshelves soon.  I really enjoyed writing this pattern and knitting the Gossamer Smocked Tunic.  I knit this sweater in Mexico while on vacation this summer.  (See below for proof!)

Gossamer is knit with Shibui Silk Cloud; a beautiful combination of mohair and silk.  If you have never knit with Shibui yarns, you should really check them out.  The Baby Alpaca is also wonderful.

I would pair this sweater with skinny jeans, boots or sandals, and a glass of champagne.  (In fact, maybe I will!)

I would love to hear what you think of Gossamer and post your photos on my blog.  Click here if you would like to send me an email!
