The Baby Bumble

The BABY BUMBLE #012, one of my very first knitting patterns, is still one of my favorites.  I fell in love with the simple process of visualizing a design, deciding on each design element, the basic shape, size, stitch, gauge and color to create the whole.  The bee buttons, always an odd number, are the perfect finishing touch.

The Fibre Company has inspired me again with Organik, in the color lichen, a warm golden yellow, a great color for any BABY BUMBLE #012 and a classic baby hat made new again!

Take a look at our other Mac & Me classic hat patterns.

Falling into your summer...

Are you, like me, just now falling into your summer rhythm?

 
Fall into this beautiful field, grab your yarn and needles and sit in the cool shade of the barn, and relax with our newest MAC & ME design, the Drift Blanket, Pattern #142. 

It is the perfect project to carry gently into fall.

The snowdrops have popped on the sunny side of our country road which means those of us on the "other" side have 10-14 days before we get to see our own gentle blossoms, but they are there, under the fresh 14" of snow that fell over the weekend.

In the sunny afternoon you can hear the melting, running, dripping water rolling off the roof and down the road. The first inklings of snow melting, the smell of earth and buds coming back to life. 

Here are 2 quick little projects to ease you into spring, to keep you from the lingering winter chill. Each made with 2 hanks of Lobster Pot Cashmere... soft gentle texture, drape and a bit spring color.
