A little sewing project





After eyeing these little frogs on the Purl Patchwork website for some time, I finally broke down and bought half a yard while I was in New York. I also bought a coordinating stripe. I'm planning on making a tote bag with the two, as well as a reversible bib for a friend's son.

Leaf lace in Merino wool

My mom loves nature, and she loves blue. So, I designed this leaf lace hat and matching scarf for her using Malabrigo's kettle dyed merino wool. I had a little trouble with the decreases on the hat (tried to chart them, but ug!). But, she loves it so much she'll never notice. :)
