I want, I want

I am linking up again this week with


First there is this hat.  Now I know I just got a new hat, but maybe I need another new hat.  A large collection of hats would be lovely.  Seriously, I think this hat is awesome.


I think these napkin rings may be the coolest napkin rings I have ever seen.  I love how they look rustic and delicate at the same time.

I have wanted a Gleeful Peacock locket since I first saw her stuff, the problem is that I can't decide which one.  Would someone please tell me that I would like one her lockets the next time he has to buy me something?  I would greatly appreciate it as that would save me from having to decide which one I want.  I tend to gravitate towards the more subtle ones, like this one or one she had on display at PH this past weekend that just had a piece of turquoise lacy metal filigree on it.  And I am not particular on round or oval.

This party dress is just stunning.  And I like the way the seller has photographed and displayed it.  

I know I probably should have thought about it earlier, but some make:Tulsa friends and I are working the TOMS party at Ida Red tonight and I was thinking I just might get my first pair.  I looked at the website to see what they have and I am really drawn to these burlap TOMS for some reason.  Now, I know that just because they are on the website does not mean they will be in the store, but I am going to take a look tonight and see what they have.  They might not even have anything in a 5.5 in the store and then I would be forced to order on-line.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Elaine is so into those Toms. Cute. They sell them at Whole Foods here.
Your st markers are looking fab! I hope your shows go well-you must be crazy busy with them on top of taxes.
Working on a baby blanket out of Big Baby in blues/denims for my friend's grandson. It's carseat-sized, three blocks across. The blocks alternate, either seed st or st st, so very quick. Quick is good since baby is a week old already. He is in Nebraska, where grandma is visiting another week.

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something.  I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born.  (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course)  Here's a couple close-ups.  It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is.  It's also lightweight and comfortable on.    I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off.  Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original.  (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?)  I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well.  The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW.  Sooooo frustrating!  And it was during

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
