Fall is Falling Cowl: A new knitting pattern
Reader
So much has happened since my last email. The biggest thing is that my family moved and we purchased our first home. My husband accepted a new job he is the new lead pastor at a church out side of New Castle, Indiana. I have been busy packing, and unpacking, making sure my girls are settled and all the other things that come with moving. I finally feel like I can get back to my normal designing schedule.
You are probably saying "but its a crochet pattern that should be next." I know. I had this one already done and written up, so I decided to just get this one published, so I could just get myself back in the schedule of working.
Welcome the newest knit pattern the Fall is Falling Cowl. I wanted an Autumn version of the Just a Posy Cowl. It follows the same concept of throwing a bunch of leaves in the air, and when you look up this is what you see. I really struggled with color for this one. I started one version for it that had more auburn colors in it, but it looked so much like the "pizza couch" pattern from my childhood it made me shudder. haha. My sister and I had a good laugh about it. I just could not bring myself to finish and started a new one with the colors you see above.
Where to find the pattern
This pattern is on Ravelry. If you want it on another platform let me know and I will get it listed for you. Its on sale this week for $3.00 and that price will go up in 2 weeks.
As always, Thanks for all your support and patience while I get acclimated in my new home.

I debated with myself for awhile on what colors to choose. I went with dark green and magenta. It gave me a lot of 90's kids nostalgia feelings. I have already worn...
Reader I have a new pattern to share with you today. Say hello to the Bee Bold Socks. I had this Thought: What if I used my animal hat charts to make socks? I went for it and I'm so glad that I did. I have already secretly made the fish, and dino socks with only the butterflies to go, and they are all soo cute. I've always been unsure of stranded knitted socks, because I worried that they would not have a lot of stretch, but I used some tricks throughout the pattern to keep them stretchy....
