tern from quince & company. carrie's patterns are so well written, truly a joy.

 beauty and something to treasure. i can't wait for my book!

  3. Good choice! Those designs are gorgeous. I've knitted the top one but gave it long sleeves and used Holst super soft yarn, it's my favourite cool weather sweater and looks lovely over a dress.

  7. What a beautiful collection! I love the Imogen stitch. I have to admit my Imogen cowl is one of my favorite things to wear, but wasn't my favorite to knit, but I love love love they way it looks when it is complete! So worth it!

  9. Oh Heavens! How wonderful: both on the baby front and the divine patterns. Some of these I have already seen but I am so very tempted to purchase them all together. Perhaps buying this book would help me reduce my large yarn stash...

  11. I agree with you, this is one of the most beautiful collections I've ever seen. Of course, your sample is gorgeous (I KNEW it would be, you worried for nothing dear Lori!). I was lucky enough to knit 2 for Carrie (the blue Sibella, and the beige Beatrice, both pictured here). I want every single piece, exactly the way that Carrie styled them (oh all those Liberty tunics!) What a talented lady she is!!! I'm so excited that she's having another wee one.
