For my part,  I can’t say that I’m ready think about Spring (at least for my
own wardrobe – yes, after wearing 20 years black and white, I’ve started 
add some colors ;o), but I love the colors so far – it’s so Spring! My favorite
ones from this list are Blue Curacao and Lavender.

…And a blast from the past ;o) As I told in comment to this post, I’ve just
recollected  that worked on  jacket in  similar colors  to Blue Curacao and
Lavender. Below is 2 in 1 jacket with detachable sleeves, Spring 2005:

A Wonderful weekend to everyone!

And an ~Adult~ version…

… that I’ve promised to Kristin ;)  She fell in love with Plymouth Oh my!
yarn I’ve choose for Polar Bear Baby coat, but sure my almost 9 years  
old found it too infanty (and she’s perfectly right) Well, below is a sneak
peak of her jacket.  I’m SO thrilled that Kristin loves and I’ve got approval 
on this design ;o)
City Girl Sneak Peek copy
My favorite part of this jacket it’s a Striped pattern, which is alternation
of Oh My! yarn and plain cotton  applied for sleeves and front of jacket.
Rows of plain  cotton are emphasizing  a Beauty and texture of Oh my!
Amazingly!! Modeled pictures and pattern coming soon…

Next  on  my  schedule is  working on some fall  and winter accessories
and something for holidays. And sure patterns, including and Free ones.
Stay tuned. Oh and you have some requests or would like me to design
something special for you, please feel free to post it here or email me at

A FABULOUS and FUN weekend to everyone!! 

Featured Yarn 31. Plymouth Yarn Co. Oh my! Nylon

You know I’m pretty partial to natural fibers. But there are times when
you really want a synthetic for its non-allergenic, easy-care properties. 
I took one look, one feel of Oh My! by Plymouth and understood how it
came by its name.

Fiber Content: 100% Nylon  
Yardage: 70 yds/ 50 g (1.75 oz)
Gauge: 3 3/4 sts =1” 6MM (US #10) 
Weight: Bulky
Plymouth Oh my! Ball  Plymouth Oh my! Color Card copy

This is INCREDIBLY soft and supple yarn! Make everything for baby with
this, from  washcloths to jackets.  The  only thing…  please keep in mind
that due to small yardage per ball this yarn is enough pricey for projects
like blankets …but I bet  every little wonder will ADORE it ;o) This yarn is
machine washed and gently dried.
