Recently, I took a Fondant and Gumpaste Cake Decorating class. Gumpaste flowers are something I have wanted to learn for a long time. This has sparked my passion for cake decorating once again. Continue reading “Calla Lily Cake”

Patterns released
In November, I shared three patterns that are part of an e-book. The book has now been released.
The Knit Seasons by Stana D. Sorter is available on Ravelry for $15.00. The book contains 31 different patterns. The patterns are also available separately. There are so many cute projects in this book that cover a variety of topics. I will definitely be knitting a few more of the patterns.
I test knitted three of these: from left to right Bucket Hat (aka. Camouflage Hat), Boo Boo Bear (aka. Teddy Bear) and Blue Bell Hat.
Happy Knitting
P.S. Don’t worry, I still like free patterns and plan to use as many free patterns as I can.
April Showers Bring May Flowers
I am continuing to catch up on my blogging. Last year I shared my 12 months of dishcloths. Here is the May dishcloth.
Blue Bell Hat
Recently I had the chance to test knit two hats for Stana’s Critters. This first hat is my favorite. It resembles a flower. Each petal is knit separately, then joined to form the base of the hat. It used a little bit of green from my stash to create an i-cord calyx. (Why yes, I do homeschool my children and we recently studies parts of the flower.)
As I told Stana, I love, love, love this hat! I only had one problem with it. My daughter is 11 and thinks she is too big for a hat like this. It would be perfect for a little girl. So I have included in the box of hats to go to the orphanage in Kenya.
When the pattern is released I will update this post.
Happy Knitting.
UPDATE: The pattern can be purchased on Ravelry here.
