Ring around the Rosy
A pocket full of Posies....
I used to love to play this game with my children when they were young...heck I even loved it when I was young...and..... that was a very long time ago...LOL.
A little while back I received an order from a fairly well known pattern designer for a sweaters worth of our WW Kashmir yarn. Even though I had no idea what Cecily was going to do with this yarn, I was very excited at the possibilities, as I love so many of her sweater designs. They are very classic in style and so very wearable. I currently have a number of them in my ravelry queque of knits that I hope to knit in my lifetime. :-)
I was beyond delighted when Cecily Glowick MacDonald released her newest e-book, called Rosy Days. This little e-book has 3 sweater designs with yarns created by independent dyers such as myself. All three are so pretty, but I have to admit, I love this one, Bella Roma, the best. I love the classic lines of the sweater and the sweet lace inset on the sleeves.
I am always so humbled and amazed when a designer chooses to use my yarns in their designs....thank you Cecily!
If you get a chance go take a peak at Cecily's work.....her patterns are lovely!!
Really lovely! Quite a compliment (and complement) to your yarn.

What's not to love? A beautiful design recommendation, not to mention, gorgeous yarn choice.
I've used your yarn for socks, and this cardigan is begging to be knit with more of your squishy loveliness. I can hardly wait!

Oh how I wish I could afford your wares... I guess I'll resort to Christmas begging again this year... lol.
That combination of your wool and her design is just breathtaking. I love it.

One of my favorite sweaters is knit with your Kashmir! It's such a nice yarn and Cecily's pattern is very classic, too. You two work well together!

Oh, wow, Kim! Simply gorgeous. This will go in my queue, too, though I have so little time to knit nowadays.
