Blythe is a name that means "Cheerful/Carefree" and I just love the sound of that.  These word are the best way to describe the combination of mock cables and popcorn/bobble stitch.  It is also the best way I would describe my sweet Sofia! Happy, carefree, and cheerful! The hubby says to expect a cooler winter this year. We're ready! Are you?

One of the most knit-worthy humans I know is my daughter's Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Mary Helen! She is kind, loving, and persistently attentive to my 5 year old.  I am honored that she requested a hat.

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!
