Wednesday Whimsy: Knitting Patterns

25 Apr 2012

After taking a little break from whimsy last week, i’m back with some knitting inspiration. I’ve been doing a lot of pattern research, on the hunt for my next few projects of 2012, and came across these two designers who really caught my eye. I want to knit every single thing!Hannah Fettig (aka Knitbot) has published a new pattern book of nine designs, in conjunction with Quince & Co. yarns. They’re simple and modern but still look really cute and girly. I love the bike dress! You can purchase the e-book of patterns here.You’ve probably already seen a lot of Stephanie Dosen’s  Tiny Owl Knits patterns around the internet – I certainly had when I finally found her whole collection. They are the epitome of whimsy; owls, kittens, fairies, mushrooms – oh my goodness! My favourite has to be the oversized bear jumper shown here. I can picture this with dark skinny jeans and ankle boots on a frosty autumn day.But, before I’m even allowed to THINK about knitting any of these lovely pieces, I have to accomplish one thing: Kate Davies owl jumper. The pattern has been purchased, the yarn has been ordered – I’m committed!

  [...] I don’t even know what these plants are called, anyone? I’m making good progress on my Owls jumper; a couple of hours each evening and it’s taking shape. I see now why some people give up [...]
