ABSOLUTELY DELICOUS!!! What a clever pattern and take on the bunting suit. With Fall around the corner this is an ideal knit for up and coming showers for sure! And, if the gender of the baby is known, how cute would this suit be knit up in a super bright colour? Just imagine, a fuschia body with chocolate coloured trim (or vice versa)? Yummy!!

(Pick me! Pick me!!)

Congrats Em!  Katie will flip you a copy of the pattern!

AND THE WINNER IS.....

Picture yourself at a baby shower and your (impeccably, of course) wrapped gift is presented upon the expectant mother's lap.   You are giddy with anticipation.  And when you see her reaction and hear the purrs of everyone in the room, you know that every little stitch was worth it.  This is what I think of when I see this amazing Bear Suit bunting.   Don't you agree???


This is an exciting post, dear knitters, as this week's Not Knit by Nat designer extraordinaire, Katie Hanken, has generously offered to give away a free copy of her amazing pattern!   Leave a comment below before next Thursday, August 9th at midnight.  I will randomly select a winner and announce it on next Friday's NKBN.

NKBN: Snowflake Fingerless Mittens

I don't know what it is about this pattern and these pics, but I find them completely captivating.    Besides Unnur Eva's striking pose, these mitts are just riveting.   I think the touch of silvery/grey in the colourwork and just the right amount of halo in the yarn make this knit irresistable.   Even in this 10,000 degree summer we're having!

NKBN: Ruffle Brim Sun Hat

I have had a long fascination with crafting out of recylced materials.  I'm an avid reader of Cindy's blog My Recylced Bags and always find her ideas inspiring.  Check out Cindy's tutorials on making PLARN, TARN and other cool eco friendly techniques.


I came across Rachel's Ruffle Brim Sun Hat made from plarn and I was instantly impressed. This is by far the prettiest creation I have ever seen using plarn.   Rachel has included a link to wear to buy plarn, or you can make your own using Cindy's technique with old plastic bags.   Plastic bags people!  And you know what that means?  Step 1: Place stylish waterproof hat on head.  Step 2:  Throw self on floatie raft into lake   Step 3:  Get kids to swim out to you periodically with a cold drink.   Splashes?  Don't matter.   Your hat is waterproof and you look cool!  Done.    You are a smartie pants Rachel!  Great design!
