( A fun project I did over the summer, a cocktail hat with a knitted base, then felted with cream mohair yarn that has Swarovski crystals spun in, and then encrusted with more Swarovski crystals and pearls. Copyright 2007 Andrea Tung.)
It's been quite some time since I last posted, a lot has been since. I almost feel hesitant to post as I haven't been doing much scouting for new knitting items of interest, nor have I found any when I was. This past summer I was busy working on my second book to be published by Chronicle Books for next Fall. And I still had to add my contribution for Yahaira's second book out next year. It's really funny how long it takes for a book to be released, by then, I am already totally jaded and have moved my focus onto the next thing. So I can hardly match the excitement that other people are feeling for me when I show them my advance copy of it. A reminder that Hats, Mittens & Scarves will be available later this month! Makes a really lovely Christmas present, or to knit presents from!
Some even bigger endeavors coming in the new year, so I've been busy making plans for those. Meanwhile, pop over to Melissa's blog to see her latest pattern made with Fable Handknit Pure Baby Alpaca.

Congratulations on your books. Looking forward to reading about your other projects!
I can't wait to see your pattern in Yahaira's book! By the way, your Pure Baby Alpaca which I used for my contribution for the same book, was just luscious :)
I love that crystal yarn! I just can't believe they sell it by the foot! You've chosen the perfect project for it.
Thanks for the plug! I'm really happy with how the sweater turned out and the yarn is so nice, soft and warm. I wore it the other day to work for the first time and got all sorts of oohs, ahhs and pets.
that is so cool about all your book and design gigs. you're an inspiration. that hat is a jewel in and of itself. and i love the photo, too.
oooo..very big fan of the cocktail hat. This is quite lovely and I think it is going to be a huge trend!
fabulous cocktail hat!!! WOW, why don't they ever publish patterns like those online? did you make a tiny hat and stuff it? then attached it to your hair?
