  • actually, you know what?

    Through January 31, 50% of the purchase price of ALL cosmicpluto knits! patterns will be donated toward the Haiti relief effort! I’ve decided that it’s just easier from a bookkeeping end (kidding).

    Since there will be more money to donate, I’ve decided that half of the proceeds will go to MSF as planned, and half will go to the Canadian Red Cross. Thanks so much to everyone who has already helped.

    And so this isn’t another photoless post, a bit of knitting – a new mitten. I started these last night after thinking about them for ages, changed my mind on yarn and pattern a few times, then finally hit on the right combo.

    YIP: January 17

  • donate to MSF through cosmicpluto knits!

    Until January 31, I’ve decided to donate 50% of the purchase price of several patterns to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). These patterns are:

    Dipped Infinity Scarf

    Attabi Wrap and Cowl (separately as well as the set)

    Sagano Shawl

    and

    Flora and Fauna Trio

    Help for Haiti is up on Ravelry as well – you can see patterns with proceeds pledged to relief by clicking here.

    I hope you can help me help others.

  • twice as nice

    I’ve got two new cowls off the needles and around my neck! Well, not at the same time or anything. Both are my own pattern, which I’ve named the Beauchamp Cowl.

    Fingering Weight Beauchamp Cowl

    Fingering weight version in lots of colours of Koigu.

    DK weight Beauchamp Cowl

    DK weight version in 2 colours of Handmaiden 4ply cashmere – which, by the way, is really one of the most beautiful cashmeres I’ve worked with! I love it so.

    The pattern is done and is just being proofread and test knit and all that good stuff. I’m just itching to get some new stuff out to you all!
