Bedelia Bonnet Test- Weaving Wonder

I BEGGED to test this one.  Not ashamed. Not even a bit.  This bonnet is GORGEOUS! 

It looks to be a simple design. Yet, the pattern includes many techniques.  It is a perfect quick knit that will keep a short attention span. 

I was intrigued by the i-cord edging.  It was my first time doing this kind of style of bonnet.  I've made i-cords for other projects.  But, never as a "border" on a garment.  As of right now...I kind of want to add i-cord to ALL of my baby bonnets! 

I am adding this Bedelia Bonnet into the grand prize.  The End of Year Photo Contest (which was delayed) is finishing up this evening!  I really thing that the winner is going to gush over this entire set...especially the Bedelia!

The Avonlea Skirt

The Avonlea Skirt My social media is full of photos of adorable children who are excited for their first day of school! Everyone is dressed to impress!  The little ones are wearing their new shoes and outfits. All are accessorized with big hair bows and even bigger smiles! The Avonlea Skirt was directly inspired by the excitement of this season and my love for all things vintage!  I, of course, had to have something extra special for my own little student!  I wanted her to have a great first day of school too! This pattern is designed to have a bit of a vintage feel.  The DK weight yarn is light weight and knits up quickly!  I hope you enjoy knitting it for your little girl.  Please share the finished results here or on Ravelry!  I would love to see this skirt in action!

The Phyllis Wristlet

This pattern came about fairly spontaneously! My sweet friend, Ashley, had been seeking a certain pattern for arm warmers.  When none were found, I decided to try my hand at writing up a pattern for her.  Thus, this was named after her Aunty, Phyllis. The Phyllis Wristlet is intended to be a simple and quick knit. It is great for new knitters who desire to create a gift worthy project. Knit flat and boasts a beautiful mock cable. I hope you enjoy this as much as we have.  Please share your finished projects with us here or on Ravelry!  Size: One Size Fits All Materials: ⦁ Yarn- Any worsted weight.  I used "I Love This Yarn" in Ivory (100 or so yards) ⦁ Needles- US 8 (5.0 mm) ⦁ Yarn Needle-to sew up the side seam Abbreviations: ⦁ k-knit stitch ⦁ p-purl stitch ⦁ sl- slip stitch (slip purlwise with working yarn in back) ⦁ psso- pass slipped stitch over ⦁ yrn- yarn round needle (do as you would for a yarn over bu...
