Recently in St Leger Hat and Cowl Category

I mentioned this project to just a few people while I was working on it, and since it's finally been published, here it is! (Sorry for the crappy pictures! I'll take better ones when I get them back.)

Wool People. (If you scroll down, all the way down, there's a black-and-white of all the designers, and there's me! That was actually taken at St Leg', Face Nord, after a redpoint, and I was looking at my next project.)

#

My designs were a hat and cowl set called St Léger, after my favorite climbing area in Southern France.

#

Knit in Brooklyn Tweed SHELTER in Sweatshirt, Woodsmoke, and Nest.

#

I was just as surprised as everyone else when it finally came out! Fourteen knitters, fourteen design aesthetics, fifteen beautiful woolly items. I'm quite flattered to have been part of this guest designer series; my sincere thanks to Jared for letting me move forward with a hat and cowl set, and to Leila for patiently reading through my long-winded emails!

I hope you'll find something in Wool People to knit.

Have a good weekend!

Of course, there are more surprises: August 1!

The yarn colors remind me of St Léger: grey, ecru, brown. Limestone. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. I must be dreaming!

I picked up needles and yarn after a long, long time.

It was nice to create something: a new silhouette, a different technique, a combination of colors. I need to knit some more; my sketchbook is filled with so many new ideas!
