Cinnabar_hat_webHave you seen the December Magknits yet?  I finished this hat too late to include in the Cinnabar pattern on Magknits, and I'm still working on the hat pattern, but I hope to finish it soon.Cinnabar_hat_scarf_web I started the hat because I had tried wrapping the scarf around my head during the photo shoot for Magknits, and I liked the way the stitch pattern looked wrapped horizontally.

Thanks for the kind words regarding my pattern for the summer 2007 Interweave Knits!  The sample is working up quickly (on #8 needles) and I think/hope it will be the kind of thing that you can see, love, buy yarn/dig up yarn from your stash for, and finish in a weekend.

hat and scarf are stunning-- bravissimo!! i really like the un-cable-ness of those mock cables-- more like scrolls, more sculptural. great talent!

HOw comes that an american knitter ended up on lake como andI, a moderator on the www.expatsinitali.com forums, got to know it through a knitting blog? (Well, as a fellow knitter, yopu should be able to guess.)

I am really looking forward to knitting the Cinnabar scarf, and the hat is gorgeous too! I really like how the pattern comes together at the top of the hat. You design such lovely, interesting things. I am glad knitting magazines are accepting your submissions!

Wow...the scarf was gorgeous enough, but the combination of the scarf and hat? Beautiful. Definitely on my list of things to knit soon!!

I was absolutely amazed by your scarf pattern in the new MagKnits - but now that I see the hat I have to say that this one looks even more gorgeous! What a truly beautiful pattern, you're certainly a real artist! Thank you so much for your hard work to write up the pattern, I'm sure there's lots and lots of knitters out there who appreciate it big time - me included!

Hey! I loved your scarf on Magknits and came to say hello, and i met the hat version as a bonus:) beautiful...both of them.

Hello, I must say that scarf is awesome! Especially the mock cable pattern. I have been avoiding cables for a while because I don't like their look or the way they pull. I know I would enjoy knitting these much more. Thank you!Tonya Leach-Trickel

Quanto bello il tuo blog! Brava Signora! Forse una volta puo scrivere anche in Italiano. ;-)Sembra che prende molte idee dal'Italia.

Posted by Deb | 2 December 2006 - 5:34pm

Beautiful! I'm looking forward to the hat pattern. How nice that there is a community of knit bloggers in Italy that has discovered you. There is nothing like the support and camaraderie of fellow knitters.

Hi, what a great set! Compliments.I think I also have to thank Magknits for revealing You to us - a little community of knitters-bloggers in Italy. If You understand Italian You can check out our newest teamblog http://maglia.blogspot.comIf You haven't yet but wish to find other bloggers (who knit and live in Italy, write in English/Italian), or wish to find LYSs around the country, would like to order from local e-bay shops or such, then feel free to contact me and we'll try to help You.In Italy each and every one of us is on yarn diet (I get my main stash when I go visit my parents in Estonia for example) unless we trust the local post with foreign orders (and we usually don't) so if You find any shops on Your travels every information is gratefully published on the teamblog. And we'll keep You updated on the shops we manage to find as well. Most of the LYSs (I read your May blog entries) are the type Bellaggio has! But Milano is not far away from Como so You are not in the worst situation! Greetings from Milano,Ingrid
