Debuting at Stitches West last weekend were our two latest patterns:


Counterspell is an all-over knitted lace shawl with beads throughout. Made with fingering weight yarn and #9 needle, this shawl can be made in a 48″, 62″ or 76″ width as well as a “sample” size that will fit an 18″ doll!

Matadora is a cute cropped sweater that is knit from the top down, perfect for your first sweater or just for something quick and fun. Made with worsted weight yarn and a #8 needle, sized to fit chest sizes 36″, 40″ and 44″.
Both patterns are available as pdf downloads or as printed patterns at our online store: www.KnittingFairy.com
Just as a reminder: We are Stitchin’ at the Studio tomorrow, March 7th from 1-4pm. Hope to see you there!
The stockings are empty, the wrappings all torn.
It’s time to reveal what was knit to be worn!
I didn’t knit for many this holiday, it’s been one of those busy years here at ChezFairy, but I thought you might enjoy seeing what I did knit for my niece and nephew.
Kallista requested a hot pink and black hat. What hat would be complete without a pair of matching fingerless gloves? Right, so Auntie Lissa whipped these right up! I used a skein each of Kraemer Perfection Onyx and Butterfly. She called and thanked me, so I think they were a hit. The are so cleverly modeled by Meagan, being as Kallie was in far off Ohio.
Holden doesn’t talk yet, so he didn’t get to make a request. I fell in love with this pattern from mybootee.com, their Sock Bunnee. I knit him in a skein of Regia sock yarn and used some random white stuff for the accent. I am told the bunnee’s name is Oswald and that Holden is very fond of him. I also sent him a great book called “The bunnies won’t stay in their beds” which he and Grandpa have been reading together.
My husband didn’t even laugh (though he did smile) when I said I was going to start knitting for NEXT Christmas already. Smart man.
