New Pattern E-mail List
Thanks to my “Marketing Technologist” husband I now have an e-mail list set up for new pattern releases. If you would like to receive e-mail notification when I release a new pattern and ONLY when I release a new pattern you can sign up in the left hand column. I don’t plan on releasing more than one pattern a month and it will most likely be more like every two months. Make sure you confirm after you have entered your e-mail!

My Yarn is NOT Just for Me
Who else would yarn be for than someone who wants to create something with it? A cat maybe? Or a toddler looking for a good time? Yes my son likes to pull my yarn between his toes while I knit making my skein into a giant knot that I have to untangle later. I finally gave up and handed him an old ball of acrylic yarn. He has been playing with it for forty-five minutes or so (a long time for a two year old). Anyway here is a photo. My husband working on my web analytics and my son knotting yarn. They are both so helpful! Now I have…

What to Do!
A little more background on Britta Lalena. I have been so inspired lately by Anthropologie and the new BoHo trend that has been hitting the streets. Headwraps are in and I LOVE it. I love hats but because of how much hair I have my head tends to overheat. I love headwraps because they leave some room for airflow and also keep your ears warm. Due to how much earlier it gets dark I have been forced to take my pictures indoors. I love how this shot turned out thanks to a LR action by Amanda Keeys. Seems reminiscent of Great Gatsby. I can’t wait to get my hands on some more…

Britta Lalena Headwrap!
Here it is! The new pattern I have been keeping a secret from my two readers 😉 I have so enjoyed this process it has been a wonderful experience but it feels good to have the patten up for sale finally. Thank you to all my test knitters. I will be sending something new your way soon! This was inspired by the scarf headwraps that are popular now. I wanted to create something that was similar to fabric but was knitted. I also love lace and the combination turned out to be a lot of fun! Britta Lalena Here are some more pictures! Also I LOVE MALABRIGO SOCK!

Counting Down!
So the count down has begun to the release of my new pattern. 4 days! Check back or keep your eye out on Ravelry. Also I have the pattern for the 9-18 month baby helmet, however I lost my sample so I have to knit up another one before I can post it. If anyone would like to test knit one up though leave a comment with your e-mail and I will send you the pattern. Here is the new photo for my Flower Headband Earwarmer Pattern!

Inspiration
I have been working my poor little wrists to death with custom orders. Here are a few pictures. The first one is in Naural and the second in Chapel Stone colorway. And just for fun here are a few pictures of some outfits I have been checking out on a Japanese site. I get a lot of my inspiration from Japanese fashion. My goal is to be able to buy direct from Japan at this point I am to afraid of the shipping costs! Let me know what you think!

Photo Shoot
So I am not the biggest fan of using myself as a model. It is definitely convenient because I can hop outside and snap a few shots of myself during nap time, but then I have to process photos of myself. I think everyone is more critical of themselves in photos than others. So….I got some friends to pose with my hats on and my husband took pictures of them. Here is one photo, yes I am in it, of two hat patterns. The one on the left is “amazon stripe” the one on the right “yummy beret.” I loved the final look of this photo. I can’t get enough…

Maui!
Finally got a break from my three beautiful but very busy little ones. Having three under three is exhausting. Especially while trying to design knitting patterns. I have been in Maui for a few days and have so enjoyed the chance to relax and be inspired. My next project is an island inspired head-wear piece. I am trying to decide weather to release it myself or submit it somewhere. If I am going to release it myself you should see photos soon. Aloha!

Tie to the Side
Wish I had thought of this on my own but my sister Keeley thought of it first. She picked up the hat and put the tie to the side. I had so many people ask me about the hat she was wearing. With the tie to the side it is definitely an eye catcher. I am going to be selling the finished product of this hat if I can ever finish the custom orders that have been pouring in. If you are interested comment or send me message through etsy and I can figure something out for you.
