Okay - here's part two of the embarrassing Anne reveal. Putting aside my Debbie Bliss obsession, which was hard enough to admit, it might be worse that the Serafina Cowl that I finished two weeks ago is the first knit object I've made for myself since I was eight years old. Seriously - not a scarf, not a hat, not a mitten, and certainly not a sweater! BUT, I'm changing my ways . . . I loved the cowl so much that I'm making the Big Herringbone Cowl from Whit's Knits on PurlBee, which I think is absolutely beautiful. If you've never tried the herringbone stitch, please do - its gorgeous. But not as gorgeous as this baby.
Harper - do get your parents to come move to Colorado - pretty please!Bye-bye for now . . .

Thanks for reading!

What an adorable baby! I love that the beret matches his eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnne I have to say that I believe we are somewhat kindred spirits. I have a weakness for all Debbie Bliss baby patterns as well. Hers was the first book I bought when I seriously committed to knitting a few years ago, and I love her stuff.
And the Herringbone Cowl from the Purl Bee is stunning. Like yourself I have not knitted anything for myself yet, the few things I did start, I ended up giving away. So I had promised myself I was going to make something this year, and that pattern is what I chose! Freaky, right?
In any case, I enjoy your posts tremendously, and can not wait to see and read more!
Omigosh, just adorable! Can't wait to see the finished big herringbone cowl!
