Fall With Sweet Georgia Contest!
ByA few weeks ago I was thrilled to announce my inclusion as a designer in the collection ‘Fall With Sweet Georgia 2015’ for my pattern, the ‘Siesta’ cowl. It was such an amazing experience, I’m not afraid to tell you that I literally embarrassed all my friends by doing a happy dance in a parking lot when I got the email letting me know that my pattern had been chosen :)
Today I want to focus on some of the other, absolutely stunning patterns in the collection. I want to get knitting, and it’s super had to choose! One of these will definitely come along as my honeymoon knitting project, the question is, which one? Let’s see….
First off, here’s the release post and Lookbook. Absolutely a must-see – check it out!
Here are my faves:
Number one (and no wonder, it was used on the cover): Reiland by Corrina Ferguson.
I LOVE the shape. I love how it looks like it sits on the shoulders and does. not. budge. That lace! DK weight lace! *swoon*.
A little too complicated for vacation knitting though, so next up is ‘Aine’ by Linda Marveng. How comfortable does this look? And, be still my beating heart, the cables are REVERSIBLE. That one detail alone is enough to make me want to sequester myself with tea and knitting for a few days. Yes, this is definitely my lead contender.
This one is *probably* too ambitious for vacation knitting, but then there’s all that time in airport where you can use something a little spicier to work on, so who knows? And just look at that texture… this is ‘Vineyard’ by Klever Knits. I’m not usually a purple person, but even the colour of this knit kills me.
And finally, the ‘Waggle Hat and Mittens‘ by Yvette Noel, and not only because the name is awesome. Toronto got super chilly this week, and the first place I always feel it is in my hands! I’m sure by the time we come home it will be that much chiller, perhaps the prudent thing is to come home with smooshy new mittens?
So what do you guys think? Check out the rest of the collection on Ravelry here and leave a note in the comments telling me what I should take on vacation! Leave me your email address and/or Ravelry ID as well and you could win a free copy of your favourite pattern! Winner will be chosen at random on Monday morning and be contacted via email or Ravelry, stay tuned to the blog find out what I’ll me taking on my honeymoon :)
Aine looks like it’s ready to jump into your suitcase!

I think you should totally tackle ‘Vineyard’ by Klever Knits. It’s always fun to knit out of the box; with patterns of course, but also with color. This is a bright and cheerful project that is sure to contrast nicely with the warm and neutral colors of fall. I love that you’re planning on crafting while on your honeymoon. Someone told me the other day that I was crazy for planning to knit on my vacation (really, they are the crazy one!). Have fun on your honeymoon! Ravelry handle: mrsreine

I think you should do Aine. It’s beautiful and doesn’t look like it would take a long time. My personal favorite is Reiand but you’re right, it’s not really vacation knitting. Even though knitting is a vacation to me.

I think the waggle mitts and hat, love the cowl as a second choice.

Go with the hat and mitts! You ARE going on a vacation/honeymoon which means you’ll be spending time with someone special. The hat and mitts have a lovely pattern and are a nice portable project for working on a plane or in the airport. The best part is you could even make a couple of sets of the mitts – his ‘n hers – IF you have some time.

I’m all for Aine too (might need to start it myself) but I’m not so sure that a honeymoon is the right time to “sequester myself with tea and knitting” … lol

I will go with Aine. Is simple but yet, it will kee you entertained without to much fuss. You are on vacation/honeymoon anyway. Enjoy it

I’d take yarn, needles, and pattern for the Waggle mittens so if you only finish one mitten, you’ll still feel as though you accomplished something. You might find something more interesting to do on your honeymoon. But my personal favourite is the Siesta. I can see wearing that with a lot of my clothes. Congratulations on the pattern’s publication.

The Aine is lovely, and totally your colour! I love that you are planning for Honeymoon knitting ;) but hopefully you won’t have a lot of spare time. I love Nexus myself. I have so many single skeins that I would like to see in that design. I am also looking for something compact to take on a trip this weekend! My Rav ID is katztoi.
