radio silence

our apologies for the silence around these parts, stitch has been busy with midterms and then enjoying herself on spring break, and I...well I have no excuse for being silent, but alas here we are! I want to contribute more around here again and have been coming up with ideas of things to share that are different than my scrapbooking stuff I share elsewhere!

I know summer is a few months off, even though it feels like summer here in North Carolina already, but I am already looking ahead at projects to occupy my time. I don't have a summer vacation, but I like to pretend that I do. I am going to dub this summer: the SUMMER OF SEWING! I have some projects that I've accumulated fabric for or bookmarked patterns, and this summer I am going to knock those out! The list so far includes recovering my jewelry bulletin board, making little makeup zippy pouches, making infinity scarves, FINISHING QUILTS (sorry stitch, this is long overdue, huh), and trying to work a handbag into a clutch!

What are your plans for summer?

tbl

february 29th is a specially weird day, that only comes once every four years. it seems like a great time to do something special for myself, and for you! this here is my first published pattern!

tbl is a free hat pattern, featuring twisted rib and no decreases! seriously!

 

this hat pattern is simple, and easy, easily modified, and great for taking to your honey's soccer game, or out to the pub.


you can download it for free from my ravelry shop!

 when you see my mechanism for avoiding nasty decreases, don't freak out! deep breath! it's ok! i've made two, and wear one or the other at least twice a week, and i've yet to run into any problem with the stitches coming undone.

if you have any questions about the hat, feel free to post a comment on the ravelry pattern page, on this post, or to email me at kkpwnall@gmail.com .
