It’s finally starting to warm up around here – windows open and T-shirt on (with no hoodie).  It doesn’t mean I can’t make stuff though.  Here are a couple recent designs that are getting my attention.

Crochet

Parquet by Jenn Wolfe Kaiser – top down and textured

Lisa Triangle Cowl by Sincerely Pam – with fringe that’s SO on-trend right now

Classy Bitch Shawl by Mamachee – how can you resist with that name?

Zigzag wrap by The Lazy Hobbyhopper – a lightweight way to give you a little comfort from the AC.  FREE

Baby Eli booties by Elfine Designs – fashionable booties and a little tie – SUPER cute

The Tube Thing by Julia Marquardt – a shawl you can wear three ways?  Yes please.  Oh – and it’s FREE!

Knit

Mirkfallon by Melanie Berg – beautifully elegant – exactly what we’d expect from Melanie

Nix by Brandy Velton – stripes and lace.  Don’t forget to use our trick for carrying the stripes up the side.

Camilla Sunbonnet by Ainur Berkimbayeva – look at those cheeks!  And the bonnet is cute too.

Corcovado Mitts by Andrea Jurgrau – and check out her whole book New Heights in Lace Knitting

Marion Tribute by Susan Ashcroft – great use for a gradient yarn – available in June

Light Gale by Alicia Plummer – a lightweight version of her poncho – this one with a fun texture stitch.  On sale for $4 through Sunday May 15th.

There’s TONS to choose from.  What are you working on this spring?
