They came in the mail Saturday!

It was a happy day.

This will be my first time using this Spud & Chloe yarn as well.  I’ve casted on my next project… and so far, the yarn easy to work with.

This color is called “Moonlight”.

I’m going to be knitting my first article of clothing.  And only the most adorable article of clothing imaginable… a sweater vest!

It’s for a certain little boy pictured here.

Thanks, Heather, for the project idea, yarn idea & pattern! I hope I can pull it off!

Since I have been interested in going in a pattern-writing direction with my business, I asked her some questions at the retreat.  During our conversation, we discovered we lived fairly close to each other and have been keeping in touch since.

Kelly has really cute patterns featuring appliqué characters that have a sense of humor – you should check out her web site linked above.  She was also recently asked to design a fabric line for Red Rooster fabrics and that line is scheduled to release in the Spring of 2009.  And a book of patterns in the works that feature new designs using the new fabrics.  Exciting stuff!

In the short time I’ve known her, she’s been so helpful and encouraging – I look forward to a continued relationship with Kelly and to keep you – my readers – posted on all the exciting developments to come in her world.
