Florisa
I'm not one for variegated yarn, but this baby is too cute and won me over and I'm sure the dress would be perfect (in my eyes) in a solid or semi-solid yarn. 


Samovar
This samovar is a beauty. Knitted from the centre out it is bound to be a fun knit too.

Mariee
The cables on these socks spoke to me and I may have to get Cat Bordhi's New Pathways for Sock Knitters to find out more about the construction.

Knit Crush: Kelene Kinnersly

Texture, lace and cables. Kelene Kinnersly knows how to place a design detail for maximal effect.

Sidetracked Cable
This fingerless mitt is a beauty, but am I the only one wondering what sweater she is wearing??

Stardust Hat

There's something about a simple textured hat that you just can't go wrong with.

Kyra Boatneck Pullover
This lace is ready for a slightly chilly summer's day.
I could see myself wearing that to a market with a wooden basket in hand. 

Knit Crush: Rena Varsakis

Rena Varsakis is the woman behind The Red Fox and Gown. I Love the quirkiness of her patterns.
Would you wear a fox hat?

Knit Crush: Cow Town Knits


It's not often that we see a really good knitted skirt. Kate Bostwick has designed a beautiful pattern for a pencil skirt that looks very flattering. But she is not a one trick horse, she does sweaters, baby rompers and mittens brilliantly as well, just to mention a few of her lovely designs. Below are my top four favourites from her hand. Which of her designs is your favourite?

Knit Crush: Kung Midas Design - Saga Hein

Saga Hein from Sweden has an eye for details. Her designs feature a good amount of stockinette, but are never boring thanks to the beautiful touches she adds to each piece, a well placed cable here and there. Birka and Katla especially calls to me, while Helmia looks like something straight out of a Rowan knitting magazine. Which piece do you like best?

Knit Crush: Christine Roy

Looking at Christine Roy's patterns is a pleasure for any hat lover. I've picked out a few that really spoke to me.

First up is a set that incorporates one of my big loves: Cables!
A Tale of 2 Rivers
A Tale of Two Rivers - Beanie

The second 'pair' I chose to show you is a simple yet interesting knit, 
that illustrates how a cute hat can be even cuter in miniature. 
The Easy Guernsey Hat

Finally, I really like Christine's take on a simple sample hat.
It's a great idea to try out a new stitch or technique and looks lovely.

Knit Crush: Aimee Alexander

There are people who can do it all, sweaters, hats, scarves, blankets, mittens, socks... Aimee Alexander is one of those people in my opinion.

Knit Crush: JumperCables Knitting

Yarnovers can add such elegance to a design. Simple in themselves, they can be made in clusters to form timeless and elegant designs. One designer, who really master the yarnovers in my opinion, is Annie Baker of JumperCables Knitting. This lady claims she likes designs, that have clean lines and patterns, that are easy to remember. I couldn't agree more.

Knit Crush: Knitbot aka Hannah Fettig

Hannah Fettig, most of us know and love her for some of her viral patterns like the featherweight cardigan, but she has a lot less famous, but equally brilliant patterns as well out there for us to drool over and knit. Here are a few of my favourites.

Knit Crush: Yellowcosmo

This month I'd like to share a designer with you who really has an eye for details, Yellowcosmo.  We all know those big names and I fully want to support their success, but it is also wonderful when you find someone equally talented, but not as well known! Frankly, you have to love someone whose first knitting project was a steeked two colour sweater. Connie says she didn't know she was supposed to knit simple things as a beginner. I think we shouldn't tell anyone ever again that anything in knitting is hard and voila they'll do just fine! For more of Connie's brilliancy, check out her blog Days By the Water.

Knit Crush: Tin Can Knits

Oh I am in love with the two ladies behind Tin Can Knits and their designs. They are so simple, yet elegant and with enough patterning to keep your interest. I dream of one day being a designer in their league. Here are a few of my favourite designs by them.
