Lavender

I've been inspired to do a little blogkeeping. I updated my masthead and added a font color; these will be changed from season to season (this idea came from Heather Armstrong/Dooce, whose mastheads and backgrounds change monthly). I've put together the Finished Knits gallery, stil needs a bit of work, but it's fine for now. Still to come are the Yummy Yarn Designs and Norwegian Knits-Along galleries, and I need to put Ravelry links as well. Long overdue, I know. I've also updated the sidebar and Patterns page to include the two latest: the Simple Yarn-Over Shawl and the Koigu Striped Socks.

Patterns. I've created a few patterns in the meantime. A striped hat for my niece (her 4th hat from me for her 4th birthday; I plan to make her one for every year of her life). A simple top-down hat with long earflaps. A colorwork hat. A lace scarf. A frivolous bit of a jacket, maybe it's really a shrug. The last pattern that needs publishing is the Arlecchino socks, which I just found the notes for! Yay. I love those socks, the seed stitch and purl and knit diamonds that so fit well with each other. I am loving the simple these days....
