Cotton Fibers Creation

Having just finished the Heirloom Crib Quilt from the Erika Knight Natural Nursery Knits, I can't wait to get another one started! I used a taupe colored Soya Cotton for the knitted lace squares, and I'm going to bump up to the Rowan handknit dk cotton in baby blue, yes for a new boy, for the next one. I used Italian lace and some Liberty of London fabric, and fringed with lace from Britex Fabrics. The collecting of the pieces parts has been as fun as actually creating the blanket. I'm thinking of doing one in purples, the fabrics to choose from are so juicy!

Kiera's Scarf

The best reason to look up from your knitting when watching lLast Night is to see the fetching scarf Kiera is wearing when running out for a latte. Didn't get a great view, looks to be straight garter stitch, light blue, navy, white, with the robin's egg blue (a very in color this year) the dominant color of the pattern. Would be a lot of fun to experiment with a variety of different colorways and stripe thicknesses. Can't wait to bust through this hat project and make some sketches.
