I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh….

I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh….

A Bed spread may seem like an odd knit during the cusp of summer but someone’s Hubby likes it frigid in the bedroom at night. Bbbbrrrrrr….. This is the perfect (AND prettiest!) compromise.

It is a nice “mindless” knit and is done on size 10′s, so you see you’re progress quickly before getting bored with the pattern. Only problem…I’ve ran out of yarn.   I hate it when that happens! If only I had little “sheepy” friends roaming around my back yard, who could help me with that dilemma.

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow, O!
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the nose
And bites the toes
As over the ground we go.

Meet my latest design…. “Through the Woods”!

“Readers, Through the Woods.”

“Through the Woods, Readers.”

This pattern has been a long time coming. Just ask my friend and co-worker, Amy. Who has endured the torment of listening to me go on and on about the various ideas I had in an attempt to create this design.

Or ask my dear husband, who had to witness the horror that is repeatedly frogging yard upon yard of “CO 100. No, wait! CO 120. Purl 4, Knit 4. No! WAIT! AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!”

I may at one point, have found him tucked away in some dark corner chanting, “Make it stop!!!” But it may or may not have been deafened by the sound of my thrashing knitting needles.

At any rate….. let us just say that this pattern took some time and effort and a couple hundred of my precious brain cells.

But alas, she was born! And isn’t she precious??

Yes, she is a girl. Just because she is so darn pretty. I think by far, this is my FAVORITE pattern to date! What do you think, dear readers???

You can purchase the pattern in my Etsy shoppe for $5.

And I would like to also mention that through the end of January, 10%  goes to the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund and another 10% goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support Breast Cancer Awareness.

Hoping you all have a wonderful week! 

Love, Kalurah

I can feel it starting….the air is feeling ever so slightly crisper, thinner, fresher. Fall is coming soon. I know it is because the box of fresh crayons and bottle of Elmer’s glue told me so!

School will be starting in just over a week. I’ll be heading down to the basement to pull out the lightweight jackets and stocking the kids dresser drawers with a full arsenal of socks.

For myself, fall means back-to-work for my etsy shoppe. Orders are beginning to trickle in from all of the far reaching lands where winter has already made it’s appearance.

Time for some fresh new shoppe items!

I am totally addicted to knitting now, thanks to my friend Amy! Who knew that all it would take is just learning to knit Continental style as opposed to Traditionally.

My newest knit pattern is the Trilsean Gloves. “Tril-shane” is the Gaelic word for braid. A very fitting name for these gloves since they have an offset celtic cable running down the length. These can be knit up in a matter of hours. A perfect weekend project. My pattern is all ready made up and I just need some eager volunteers to test it out for me!

If you’d like to test it out, just leave a comment on this post along with your email address. 

I’ve just finished my second knitting pattern! YAY!!! Who says no good can come from an entire week of the Flu??? What else was I to do!?

You can download the pattern here. Be sure to share your pics and pattern notes on ravelry! 

Have a fabulous week!
