Indie Designer Day

Winter knits? On this, the first day of spring? I think toques are one of the most perfectest knits out there - and so I display this lovely hat as a wonderful example of Shanny's designing talent.

I love a knit with a good story, and Tuesday's Miracle (pictured right) has a lovely one. I've recently been eyeing up cable patterns, and I love this one for its boldness and simplicity.

Another toque from Shanny is the colourworked Vermont Hat. The way the two colour patterns play off of each other reminds me of an Escher :)

And, in a nod to the new season beginning today, there's the very cute Felted Vase, a pattern created to hold some lovely hand knit flowers (specifically, those found here on Knitty).

Happy Spring!
