Handspun by Celeste

Right now I'm just swatching with this wool/silk handspun (purchased at Sage Yarn in Falmouth, MA), but I do know it's too lovely to be left in the stash!

I think your patterns are lovely and inspiring. I especially liked your explanation of the process of designing the white beret- I can't recall it's name. It looked like a snowflake or cranes or other things. Anyway, your explanation showed your great patience and determination to get the details like you wanted them. I am a novice to designing, but I think we can all benefit from a lesson like that, whatever our passion.

We love clever, and this sweater is clever.

Interweave Knits Summer 2007, About the Lutea Lace Shell:

...what appears at first glance to be a standard tank top knitted in flat pieces turns out on closer inspection to be an ingenious piece of three-dimensional sculpture.

Vogue Knitting Holiday 2009, About the Vine & Leaf Beret, Vogue Knitting Fall 2009:

Angela Hahn's vine-and-leaf lace hat from our Fall 2009 issue is showing up all over the web in myriad colors and textures, each as beautiful as the next.

From Brave New Knits

[Angela's] work has consistently been strong; the designs are traditional but contemporary in silhouette, highly wearable, and, because of her intriguing stitch pattern choices, fun to knit. The iconic Hahn design for me is the Wakame Lace Tunic...-- it's strikingly feminine and modern.
