From Susan — It’s [already] Drizzling

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 4:54 pm

ANNOUNCING A NEW PATTERN RELEASE

NOTE: My original post was unclear — Drizzle has already been released and is available on Ravelry!

I have been cranking out hats like crazy this week in preparation of the launch of my latest hat pattern: Drizzle on the Window.  The “drizzle” refers to the 3 sizes of beads that form what looks like droplets of water running down a window, like this:

This picture was actually taken in my car in a fast food drive-through lane during a recent January thaw!  Here are the hats:

From left to right: Sun Valley MCS, SundayKnits Angelic, BT Peerie


Peerie, Color Driftwood

The tassel has a beaded twisted cord:

I knit the hats in three different yarns to see how they worked: Sun Valley Fibers MCS, SundayKnits Angelic 3-ply, and Brooklyn Tweed Peerie.  Each took very different yardage though they were the exact same size!  The Angelic and Peerie were easiest when it came to placing the smallest beads.  I have to say that the Angelic is everyone’s hands-down favorite!!

The beadwork is only on the front of the hat, making this a pretty easy and speedy bead project.

PS to Annie – the poms are from different Etsy sellers.

PS2 to Alicia: The Angelic needs to be purchased from Carol Sunday at SundayKnits.   She will mail it immediately.   The yarn is wonderful and so is she.   I bought all the beads at Storm Cloud Trading Company on Snelling and Minnehaha in St. Paul.  I know there are on-line sources as well.
