Prizes Interrupted



Show Notes:

News and Notes -
  • Ok - this week's episode was full of interruptions, but I have hopefully got those edited out. Also, it took me until the second try to figure out to "flip" the camera so that the writing was correct when I showed a label on the screen! Oops! Next week will be better. At least I think this week's audio and video are in sync! Please let me know if they are not. Also, I am not sure what that funny background noise is. Sorry!
  • Let's move back the UFO contest one week so I can give away prizes next week, too!! So if you haven't gotten those UFOs in, please post in the UFO thread.
  • Drew prizes for the Color Affection KAL
Finished Objects - 
  • Koi in blender socks for Veronika out of Tempted yarn
  • Cat's in the Cradle pattern was published! The sample shown is in Bernat Baby Jaquards in Rosebud colorway on US 5.

Cat's in the Cradle

Well, I have finally done it! I wrote up the pattern for the Cat's in the Cradle hat that I created last year. I knit up this adorable little hat out of really soft mystery wool that I had leftover from some project or another. I knit another sample as I was writing up the pattern, to check for errors. I hope that I caught them all, but as I did not send it out to test knitters, there may be some. Since it wasn't test knit, and it is one of my first patterns, I have published it on Ravelry. I hope all who knit this little gem enjoy it as much as I do. And please email me any errors that you find, and I will post the errata ASAP.

And here is some insider information - the gorgeous model is my niece, Elle. She is my brother's little girl, and I just want to eat her up she is so sweet! And I must say she is quite a talented hat model, too! Of course, she has grown considerably since she modeled my hat.
Still just as beautiful as ever, but a total handful now that she is mobile! 

Well, I have another pattern in the works that I hope to send to test knitters this week, so I better go get busy!

-Your knitting (designer) girlfriend!

News and Notes -
  • Found out about big technical difficulties with several of the last few episodes. The audio and video are out of sync. I figured out this was an iMovie issue, and I am researching how to fix this issue for future episodes and how to correct the issue in the back episodes. I will put up a blog post with more details and update you there.
  • Racing Hearts prizes were mailed out.
  • Color Affection KAL ends next week.
Finished Objects -
