I recently partnered up with good folks at Green Mountain Spinnery. I've been a fan of the yarns (and the good folks) there for years so I'm really excited to be working with them.
You can see some of my other designs using GMS yarns here and here.
This weekend at Vogue Knitting Live GMS will be debuting a new pattern designed and knitted by me, and modeled by Bubba himself!
Its a quick to knit vest for the little ones in Capricorn GMS's bulky yarn.
Hard copies of the pattern will be available at Vogue Knitting Live in the GMS booth and shortly thereafter as downloads on the GMS site.

I love this pattern and with having a grandson close to Bubba's age...this vest would most certainly be easy enough for me to try and knit.

Love this vest design and the model is pretty darn cute! Had fun watching Tater grow up modeling your designs, looking forward to watching Bubba grow, too! Hope things are going well for you, glad to have you back to blogging! You've been missed!
