FO: Pink Find A Penny

I decided to make another Find A Penny for a friend. 

This time pink and with the picot edging.

I love it so much I may have to make another for my self!

Project Details:

Pattern: Find A Penny 
Yarn: Tosh Vintage in Rose
Needles: US 8
Mods: Chose to use the provided picot bind off instead of the alternate rolled edge

FO: Kina & Booties

A good friend of ours just announced the arrival of their little girl. And I've been itching to knit with pink. It's the perfect match

I couldn't resist the subtle ruffles around the yoke

It was a quick knit that was just begging to have matching shoes

And the Madelinetosh ToshDK really softened up after blocking... perfect for a little baby

Pattern Details

Cardi Pattern: Baby Kina by Muriel Agator

Booties Pattern: Mary Jane Booties by Lucie Sinkler

Needles: US 5

Yarn: Madelinetosh Tosh DK in Molly Ringwald

Mods: I used the super stretchy bind off for the cardi and ended up really liking the detail it added around the edge

Early Spring

You have probably figured out there are a few knitters that I keep my eye on. I almost feel like a little sister in that I run around doing whatever knitterly (if it isn't a word yet it should be!) things I see them doing.

I love their yarn. I love their patterns. I love the yarn they use for their patterns.

As you have probably guessed Jocelyn is one of those knitters I like to copy... er umm... follow? yeah that's right. FOLLOW!

Well a few months ago I saw this post she wrote about Madelinetosh 80/10/10 in the Mansfeild's Garden Party colorway.

And even though I don't usually go for super colorful yarns this one was just too good. Ever since then I have had my eye on that colorway. Whenever I see an FO knit with the same yarn I stare at it and think "ooooooooohhhhhh pretty"

and when I found and INCREDIBLE deal on the last skein of Mandelinetosh Tosh Sock in the same colorway I knew I had to snag it.

And on this cold, sunless, dreary day these bright spring colors couldn't have arrived at a better time!
