...and the "Fun and Funky" hat (option 2) is well on it's way to becoming an FO.
For those of you who were more into the "Simply Classic" style, don't fret- you may see it again soon!
The People Have Spoken...
Opinions?
I'm just about ready to send my little mitts pattern to test knitters, but thought I would include a matching hat. The problem now is that I can't decide what look I like better. Enter blog readers- the choice is up to you- what do you think?
Sorry for my less than impressive drawings (although I have to admit that they were kind of fun to do). I'm calling the first hat "Simply Classic" and the second "Fun and Funky".
Help me out by giving me your opinion in the poll below:
Ravelry Roundup- 4/6/11
Hopefully I didn't scare you when I didn't post a Ravelry Roundup last week. Even though my queue grows to a size that is incompletable in this lifetime, I still enjoy seeing all the new designs that come out week to week. Without further ado, I present the roundup for this week:
Another new deisgner to me, but after glancing through her designer page on Ravelry, she is now added to my favorites. So many cute knits for kids! Also- look at that beautiful hand dyed yarn. You guessed it, none other than my sponsor this month, Tanis Fiber Arts!
Add another blog to my Google Reader- it seems I love the work of the Brown Stitch, too!
A little classic cardi to wear everyday (for some reason- it seems way more acceptable to wear a cardi over and over. Pullover? Not allowed! There's something magical that happens when you add buttons to the front!).
I have never knit with beads- this cowl makes me want to try it out.
Hello, cuteness! Anyone have any upcoming baby showers? That's right... I do!
The texture, the lace, the colorway- a must-knit!
I've said it once- I'll say it again: this girl can design!
Momo by Terri Kruse
You wouldn't be allowed to wear it everyday (see above), but that doesn't mean it wouldn't get a ton of wear in my wardrobe.
The new Twist Collective was recently released. A perfect evening break is making myself a cup of tea and sitting down to click through a new Twist Collective. They have the best patterns/styling. In other news, Hilary just had a little baby boy- congrats to the whole Yarniad family!
Another Twist Collective gem. In TC, they have a thin purple belt around the waist- too perfect.
I originally saw this in person at Knit Michigan- what fun to see it pop up on Ravelry (Don't you just love those Jul Silver Pedestal Buttons?!?).
Shorter sleeves, open front, plus... you can wear it everyday (see above)! I could definitely get some use out of this in my spring wardrobe (this and about any other design from knitbot).
And there's your roundup. Thoughts? Favorites? What's been added to your queue?
FPK at DSF
Ever since I started wholesaling, we've run it as a little family business. Joe takes the orders, I package them up, and someone meanders to the post office to get my patterns in the hands of yarn shop owners. But, since our family has grown, I feel it's time to pass this duty off to someone else.
As of this week, you can now find all of my patterns available for wholesale via Deep South Fibers. Deep South Fibers offers a very user-friendly system for yarn shop owners looking to place orders.
I have heard nothing but good things from the LYS owners I have talked to who have experience ordering with DSF and I'm looking forward to working with them!
The best thing is that this means less time invoicing/packaging/shipping around here and more time with the baby and working on new patterns. I am more than willing to give up a little administrative work in order to spend more time on the creative.

Buggy Socks
Just the other day these popped up in my Google Reader:
How perfect will these be for Elise's Maclaren Volo Stroller? The website states that they are adaptable to most strollers on the market. I am declaring these a new mommy essential. For those into buying, click here. For the rest of us who are more in to knitting- stay tuned :)
