"Lace Kerchief": A favorite detail
There is one particular detail I love in the "Lace Kerchief". The little i-cord ties are finished each with a single delicate Japanese seed bead. If the hair is slighty shorter, they highlight the beauty of neck, looking almost like dewdrops.
Remember that this lace kerchief does not have a name yet. I would love it if you could help me find a name for it. Regardless of which name I select, I will pick a comment at random to receive a gift copy of the pattern and its video as well as a ball of Rowan Classic Yarns Siena cotton.

Progress on the Retro Cardi for Grown Girls
I have been working on the Retro Cardi for Grown Girls. I am done with the left front, and the back. Tonight will be the right front, and then on to the sleeves.
I love this pattern knit in the alpaca. The soft halo gives such subtlety to the pattern.
Tonight I am working on the pattern for the Retro Cardi for Girls. The children will be in bed, Mr. SockPixie will be working on projects of his own, it will be quiet and I do need quiet when I edit and size patterns!

Mission Accomplished: I finished the Premie Baby Sweater
Mission accomplished. The premie sweater for little M. (my friends L. and S. have just adopted him) is done, and already gifted to this beautiful little boy.
I took the time to take a few pictures of the sweater before giving it to M.
I had 2 colors, a golden yellow, and a white in a worsted weight. I knit the sweater top down, and played with the colors in the yoke.
After the yoke, I kept a simple garter stitch edge along the fronts of the sweater, and picked these amazing buttons. Picking the buttons was really hard, the yellows were all wrong, and so were the whites, then I saw these, and fell in love. They look a little like morning dew...
I picked up stitches along the front edges to create a nice finish, and give the sweater a little body.
I really love how easy this sweater was to knit and of course the classic, retro feel appeals to me. I guess this is another pattern for me to write. I have a feeling this is going to become our family pattern for all new babies. Kind of a nice tradition don't you think?
