Ready for a dose of color? Check out the beauties in Noro Magazine Fall/Winter 2014. I was fortunate enough to design an oversized vest for this issue, which I spent lots of time working on last summer. (Which seems like ages ago!) Once again, it was such a thrill to ever-so-carefully pack up my knitted creation into a box and mail it off to New York City, and then wait to see how it would be photographed. Here it is, below.

Fun, right? This vest uses Noro Silk Garden Solo and Silk Garden Lite held together. Want to see more? Feast your eyes on these gorgeously colorful designs featured in the magazine. Noro's colorways are always so incredibly magnificent.

You can pick up your copy of Noro Magazine Fall/Winter 2014 at your local bookstore, craft store or yarn shop. (I happen to collect issues of Noro Magazine because they're full of such beautiful projects and I'm thrilled to add this one to my bookshelf!)

I'm a little bit excited today, because one of my knitting patterns will be featured in the Fall 2014 issue of one of my favorite knitting magazines, Knit Simple. This is (technically) my first published knitting pattern and I was thrilled to see how it was photographed. Getting a pattern published has always been a dream of mine; it definitely took hard work, perseverance, lots of patience and a little bit of luck. But worth it? Yes.
