Unexpected Little Knits!
[x-posted at Two Pointy Sticks]
I was just about ready to do a little reveal of a new project today, but a little something has just arrived on my desk that deserves its spotlight. If you haven't already seen a copy of Expectant Little Knits (ed. Suzanne J.E. Tourtillott; new from Lark Books), it's definitely worth checking out.
Just on the first flip-through I found several patterns that I'm putting on my must-have list, including a chic pucker-stitch tunic dress and a truly elegant houndstooth jacket, cropped to create a younger modern edge to a great classic. My needles are burning for these pieces. And I'm not even pregnant! But you don't have to be to enjoy most of the great patterns in the book.
Amongst the designs is also this, which I've had to be mum about for nearly a year now. Keeping this little secret has nearly killed me, but finally she's out!
Introducing the Deauville Car Coat in Pippin (100% aran weight cashmere):
The coat, which has a shawl collar that wraps around the cutaway front and curved tail back, is designed to worn open or closed with a brooch, and is a piece that can be worn both during and after pregnancy.
So that's my surprise for today. Stay tuned this week (that's right, you haven't read wrong, I mean this week) for YET ANOTHER reveal!
A tres bientot!
