New Designs, Part Two...

As I mentioned in my previous post, I had more designs to share which I can now custom knit.  I am now a licenced knitter of all of Carina Spencer's self published patterns.

Carina Spencer is a knitwear designer from the USA.  She started off designing babies garments, but has now expanded to include items for adults too.

A gallery of all of Carina's designs can be found on her website here.  The licence I have covers all of the designs shown on that page plus any new designs that she may come out with too.

The first two garments from Carina's designs that I have knit are Small Things Romper and Small Things Bonnet, these are both destined for my new niece due in a few weeks time.


And I have just finished knitting a Zuzu's Petals.  Zuzu's Petals is a great design, it is a cross between a shawl and a cowl, but unlike a shawl it doesn't need to be wrapped around your neck and it doesn't fall off.  Simply pull it over your head and you are done.



I have more of Carina's patterns waiting to be knit also, these are Dovetail which is a lovely textured cowl  and Seamless Kimono.

I am thinking that Zuzu's Petals would make a great Mothers Day gift.

Some further information can also be found on the page I have set up on my blog here. (To make my custom knitting tabs on my blog more readable, I have separated off four designers and they now have their own pages.)
