It’s been very, very weird here in Western, Mass. The past three days have been filled with rain and thunder, unnaturally dark days with little tenuous bits of sunshine. It’s like ‘The Happening’, which I happened to love, but I’m pretty sure 60% of my love for it is a desire to be contrary and a girl crush on Zooey Deschanel (anyone want to go see this with me? Anyone?).
I’ve been doing a lot of knitting of course, mostly for the store. Knitting for the store like mad is a bit of an addiction, I’m afraid. We’re compensated in store credit which feels like Monopoly money, and though I really, really don’t need the yarn, I just can’t pass it up!
My latest contribution also marks a bit of a milestone for me–I finally figured out how to make a PDF and put up a pattern page here on the blog. I made a cozy scarf with Cuzco, a scrumdiddliumptious new Berroco yarn, 50/50 wool/alpaca with a nice bouncy twist. I’m totally digging Crotona, but it might just be the outfit in general, she reminds me of these fashionable sheep, still clinging to the ‘dark leg’ trend. I can see why, it’s a classic trend, if there is such a thing.
You can find the pattern for the Brûlée Scarf on my new pattern page!
Also there is a link to a pattern I did for J. Knits that I think I forgot to blog about! I’m calling it the Downtown Clutch and it will also appear in an upcoming book from Storey Publishing. The yarn is called Charming and well, it is! I actually can’t describe the feel of knitting with it, but it is good. The last time I was this flummoxed by a yarn (Socks that Rock in this post) I started talking about it’s mouthfeel, so yeah. You’ll just have to see for yourself. There is already an adorable finished Downtown Clutch over at Ravelry, I simply love her mods. I am certainly planning to embellish mine similarly, hopefully before fall!
Time to make the donuts,

I am loving some of the Berroco Fall pattern books. I can’t wait to get them!
Brûlée is very very beautiful !
I was seriously considering going out for this show!
I love that clutch, it’s gorgeous! It’s already in my queue.
cute cute cute. the buttons/crochet definitely make it special!
congrats on the book publish, too. you are so on top of things.
p.s. your pattern page link is wack-o. one too many https i think.
I saw this movie this last weekend & it was terrible. I mean I’m sure some people will like it, but to be honest, it wasn’t thoughtful or intelligent like his other movies have been this far. I was expecting something more than an hour and 1/2 of finding various ways for people to kill themselves. I rarely dislike any movies, but this one left me feeling sick to my stomatch for days, and not in a thinking sort of “oh gosh” way, but rather, “god what a waste of talent”.
Ooh, Zooey Deschannel is the sister of Emily, who plays one of my favorite TV characters…Temperance “Bones”Brennan.
Nice knitting…jealous!
Rockin! i love that little clutch
I love the clutch!
OH! I love She & Him! They are both such adorable people. I wish they were playing here.
The scarf looks very warm and cozy. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Love the scarf.
I totally adore Zooey Deschanel! I watched ALL of Tin Man because of her (ok…maybe a little bit for Neil McDonough too). If I lived closer I would join you — I think I should go download her music, I haven’t even listened to it yet.
Interesting Mary — my Mom loves that show and I find Bones is hard to look away from – something both sisters seem to share. Guess I’m admitting to a girl crush too.
