Knitvember

I may have mentioned in a previous post how much I like this time of year. The warm yarns come out of the stash, new squishy projects are cast on, and the handknits take a front row in the closets.

This summer I had the distinct pleasure of joining a test knit team for an incredible knitwear designer -- BooKnits -- and have had the honour of test knitting two of her patterns. One was a refresh/update of a previous design, and you've seen those pics in this post.

The second knit has just had the pattern released today. It's a flashback to musical memories the designer experienced a number of years ago -- this one of The Monkees "Pleasant Valley", hence the name of this design.

Here is my "Creature Comforts in Pleasant Valley"... a lovely easy knit, and it is just as warm and squish as it looks -- great for this time of year.


There are a few more things on my needles, so hopefully a few more pictures in the near future...
