Rooibos Sewalong

Speaking of Colette Patterns, I just joined the Rooibos Sewalong!  I think this is the perfect dress both for fall and my office job.  I'm thinking about making it in a gray chambray or wool with yellow piping and contrast fabric.

A Colette Patterns book?  For reals?  

That just made my day.

Carrie Bostick Hoge

Carrie Bostick Hoge is frightening me a little.  Everything that she designs is so spot-on, so perfect, that I think she might be inside of my head.  The knitwear she designs is the knitwear I dream about.  Yes, I dream about knitwear.

 These are the three designs I need to knit right now.  I'm not even going to get creative and change the colors on the first two.  I have some lovely Quince and Co. yarn on it's way to me right now!
