I'm a lucky winner, and some FOs :)

I received an email during the week from the wonderful Denise of Voie de Vie that I was one of the lucky winners to receive her new eBook: Accessories: Autumn 2012. This was such a lovely surprise I was over the moon! All the designs in this collection are gorgeous but I'm particularly taken with the Piaf Scarf and the Enveloped Cowl. I can't think of any yarn in my stash that I want to use for these projects (naturally!), but hey, I can spin now! So I'm going to spin some yarn, maybe home dye too, off to the drawing board to make plans... will report back later :)

On the knitting front I managed to finish couple of projects, a sideways jacket for my aunt and a hat for my goddaughter.

Sideways Jacket:

Hat for Ericka using my rainbow dyed yarn :)

That's it from me this week! Thanks for dropping by, there is more fibre arts fun at Wisdom Begins in Wonder. Indulge your creative side and join the party!

    Congrats on winning the patterns. I really like her Envelope Cowl too. Your vest is super sassy and that hat is adorable.

    Aren't Denise's designs gorgeous? I think I'm going to do a crochet project next too, if I ever get the shawl done! You are on a roll with spinning and dyeing, next you'll have a sheep or alpaca farm :-)

    Love the sideways vest. Are you going to mail it to China? I wonder if the shipping would cost more than the yarn. The little hat is adorable, what a lucky kidlet.

    I love both of your projects! The jacket looks like it would be so much fun to knit. Whoever gets to wear that little hat will love it, I'm sure.
