Simple hat pattern from Itty Bitty Hats – yarn, chunky cashmere from Posh Yarn. Knit for a very special little guy who’s arrival is imminent.

Believe  everything you have heard….. Susan has  done it again. Her new book Itty Bitty Nursery is darling. I don’t even know where to begin, there are so many things I want to knit out of there. Of course, the cupcake set, the bebe door hang-y thing and don’t even get me started on the peas and carrot pillows and the wipes/tissue cover. Run…. run and get yourself a copy (I was so excited to find one at Barnes and Noble on Friday, as I didn’t think the book had been released yet).

What else has been going on? Dyeing, of course. Look for these and others to show up in etsy later today.

 Walk In The Woods – BFL Superwash

That’s Rich – BFL Superwash

Pear – Merino Superwash

 Gingerbread – Merino Lace Weight

 And Plucky Girl was busy this weekend too….. Hanging out (not to be confused with babysitting…. her favorite 11 year old triplets). C,K & D. Here she an K are hamming it up for the camera. They had a ball.

Small etsy update. I am officially out of sportweight (those cute booties with the fun buttons from the other day….   knit in the sport weight)  base yarn at the moment. But, I will be getting more in very soon.

Anyway, it’s raining and nasty outside – so I thought I would do a small update. Enjoy.

 Pemberley Dress – BFL Suri Alpaca

 Wuthering Heights – Sport Weight

 Blueberry Queen – Merino Superwash Fingering Weight

Not to be confused with test knits that are currently being worked on all over blog-land…. these are finished objects knit with Plucky  yarns that  customers have done for themselves (or as as gifts) and have graciously provided pictures for me to post in a gallery. So, please check back often (gallery can be found on my sidebar).

 Sidewinders from AnnieKnits  - Yarn: 100% Merino Wool  Fingering A Thistle. Wow Annie – these are so clever!

Embossed Leaves (Interweave –  Winter, 2005)    100% Merino fingering weight – Pumpkin Latte – knit by the lovely (and very speedy)  Melana  (who also knit the fingerless gloves from a few posts back).    Melana very generously offered to send these to me, but I just don’t have the heart to take them from her. It’s coming into Fall Melana, you must wear them and wear them proudly!

100% Merino Fingering Weight in Gypsy Skirt  - knit by my favorite editor at National Geographic:  The ever so sassy Sheila for her best friend, Jade, who lives in L.A.  Sheila accidentally knit the scarf on a size 5 and size 6 needle but says it can’t really be detected in the finished object. Upon further reflection she says there may be some wisdom in having the purl row knit on a size 6 as it makes it easier to do the k2tog’s. Perhaps she has stumbled upon some rather EZ-ish…. yes, Sheila, I think you may have!

Monkey – 100% Merino Fingering weight, Basil Bliss. Knit by the very industrious and super busy Naomi  to match her green Dansko’s (perfect match Naomi!).

They are all just so lovely that I had to share. Please, keep the photos coming….. what a treat they are!

Because I have been under the weather the dyeing has taken a bit of a back seat (still a smidge was done this weekend, but back seat nonetheless). This weekend, combined with skeins I have been saving…. well it’s beginning to take over the house. Thus, a small update.

 Piper – 50/50 BFL Suri Alpaca (one skein left)

 Harvest Moon – Merino Wool Fingering Weight

 Faded Grandeur – BFL Superwash

Grass Is Greener – BFL Superwash

 Resolute – Merino Wool Superwash Fingering Weight

 Clippers – 80/20 Merino Cashmere

This and more can be found in the shop.

Or is everyone having a problem with Wordpress being woefully slow to load and use?

Meadow  made the Baby Ribs socks –  made with the 100% merino superwash fingering weight yarn.  Thank you so much Meadow, they are just perfect!  

And then Amanda  decided to surprise me and knit these.

100% Merino sportweight – superwash

She even saved the fun part for me and sent them without the buttons – which is great as I have three big jars of vintage buttons that I purchased off eBay last year that are just begging to be used. So when these showed up in the mail today, I immediately dumped my buttons out and just happend to have four of those little beauties. Couldn’t be more perfect if we planned it that way.

These booties are so darling – I am thrilled that Jodi is knitting some for me to. Different color  + yarn = completely different look.

Etsy update tomorrow.
