Hooded Scarf

Here's the 'H o o d e d   S c a r f' in colorway-toast.  

This piece will be available in sizes 6 months up to 3 years of age.  

The prototype displayed here is knitted in size 2-3 years. 

My original thought, was to have tassels on the end of the scarf, but didn't like the way it looked, so ended up going with the pom poms. I think they add a nice finishing touch. My husband said that with the pom poms it sort of looks like a bear paw. I'm sure the color contributes to that as well.  ;)

Moving Onward

Finished casting on for the next design that is going to be part of the fall/winter collection.

There is something about casting off a finished project, and casting on a new, that is very refreshing and daunting at the same time.

On this cold winters day, a hot cup of coffee, and some knitting is what's in store for today. :) Hope everyone is having a cozy Sunday as well! 

Ruben's Bumper

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! My husband and I had our first Christmas together as a family, just us. It was absolutely lovely. :) 

Since yesterday evening, I have already been back to working on the designs! Here is The very first design I did...the one that was put on hold, waiting for more yarn.

When I was designing this piece I was thinking, 'Circus'. It originally was going to be named the Balloon Jumper, resembling something that of clown pants, but it is not exactly a jumper. It's a mix between a soaker, jumper, and overall's. My Husband came up with the name Bumper, and it stuck. :) 

Ella's Boots

My second knit design is finished! Here is Ella's Boots...

I wanted the boots to be warm and durable with some texture. I designed Ella's boots with a high cuff, which can be rolled down, giving it a different look/style. I used genuine leather for the soles, making the bottoms durable and skid-free. 

I want to bring fun, vibrance, character and warmth to each design. So, I was thinking that a cute animal  illustration paired with each garment would add a nice touch, making each design more unique and personal, especially for little ones. What do you think?!

This is putting together all 3 of my passions: photography, knitting, art, and design. :) 

Lavender and Leather
