As I'm sitting at my desk I discover Amy's "Flutter by Dreams" design, 

Me:  "Ooooh!  A butterfly!!"

turning to daughter,

Me:  "Ella, come look at this hat.  Do you like it?"

Ella:   "Ooooh!  A butterfly!"

Me:  "I know!"

Proof that a crochet butterfly knows no age boundaries!    Amy!  You are great!!

NKBN: Equinox GIVEAWAY!!!

A weekly feature on the blog, NOT Knit by Nat highlights great patterns by budding designers on Ravelry.

Sam's Equinox pattern is my kinda knit.   Worsted weight + small project + simple lace = BIG impact.  Awesome.  And to me, this is the perfect knit hat to wear into the office.  Stylish and delicate.  Because as much as I like ear flaps and pom poms, there is nothing professional about them!  I am all over Equinox!

AND you can be too!   Sam has generously offered to give away a copy of this pattern!    Please leave a comment below for a chance to win.    Be sure to leave your rav ID or email so we can get the pattern to you!!   Contest will close Thursday, September 6th at midnight and I will randomly select a winner on Friday, Sept 7th.  Good luck!!
Contest is closed.

NKBN: Cable Rimmed Cap

A weekly feature on the blog, NOT Knit by Nat highlights great patterns by budding designers on Ravelry.


Meg's beautiful Cable Rimmed Cap was one of the very first NOT Knit by Nat design's I spotted a couple of months ago now.  Back when I was in deep denial that winter would ever return and certain that I would never need to wear a hat again.    But alas, the sun stroke has faded and I have admitted to myself that hat wearing is in my near future.  THIS hat.

Check out this hat and Meg's other great designs here!

Fabulous photos!!

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.....
