Why we heart Boutique Knits

boutiqueknits.jpgBoutique Knits, by Portlander Laura Irwin, is so insanely gorgeously wonderful, that we cannot seem to keep it in stock. I finally snagged one of the copies the day before Thanksgiving, and my sister, who surprised us with a visit, and I each made a hat out of the book in the last few days. Can you say, wowza? This book rocks tha’ casbah, folks! The instructions are very clear, the patterns are vintage-saucy, and the photography makes you want to crawl into the pages and live that life. Jessica and I both used Malabrigo for our hats because, frankly, what else is there? (heehee)

Jessica made the Sideways Grande Hat out of Malabrigo Worsted in Vetiver.

I made the Side Slip Cloche out of Malabrigo Worsted in Glazed Carrot.

Get this book while it’s here, folks! Every project in it is just dying to be made.

    Those hats look great! I am now even more desperate to make the sideways Grande Hat. (with Malabrigo, of course)
