It seems as this last week in New York was the start of winter as the temperatures have dipped down into those brisk single digits that are hard to ignore. Brrr! Apparently we might see our first snow this weekend so there is no time to waist knitting mittens and hats to keep little ones snug and stylish.
Good timing that the winter issue of Small Magazine was released this week which not only features the most gorgeous fashions, inspiration and art for little folk but I am honored that one of my knitting patterns was selected as this issues Small Project. The Modern Baby Bonnet Pattern from my book Vintage Knits for Modern Babies is available as a free PDF download for a limited time only! There are some lovely yarns to knit this cap with and some of my favorites are the Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK, Classic Elite Yarns Classic Silk as well as Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK. See what other yarns the Modern Baby Bonnet can be knit with on Ravelry.com.

As the cooler Autumn temps are settling in on us here in New York, I am suddenly itching to knit and I have about a years worth of knitting projects in the queue. (just as well because I am in the midst of an almost perpetual winter since leaving the Southern Hemisphere for the Northern).
I have been browsing the book shops and knitting stores here in New York and I realize there is no shortage of patterns and projects but for me it has been an overwhelming experience. When I get overwhelmed, I run home and log onto Ravelry.com to help me figure out which pattern is best. Ravelry is great but still, there is a lot to weed through.
Then along came Magpie Patterns which has a lovely (and growing) selection of independent needlework patterns including knitting, crochet, embroidery and sewing all displayed by the well curated eye of its owner. In addition to individual patterns there is a beautiful selection of all my favorite craft books as well.
Over the years I have had many requests for a baby cardigan pattern that is knit all-in-one piece. I finally found one on Magpie Knits! Manda Ruth, a little hooded cardigan by Jane Richmond, is knit from the top down and is virtually seamless. Seed stitch adds texture to this raglan sweater and worsted weight yarn makes this project fly off the needles. How cute?
