How can a month fly by so quickly? I’ve been sewing and knitting a lot, but somehow haven’t had a chance to take any pictures to show you. (I think that the fact that I can’t find my camera’s charger anywhere might have something to do with that. Anyway, back to business.

Speaking of businesses, I am very excited that “Roses on Toast” is now officially a business. I have registered with the Dutch chamber of commerce, so I can start selling knitting (and later sewing) patterns. Right now I have at least three patterns in the works, all in differing stages of completion. The first one to be release will be the Marjorie Shawl, which you might have seen my last post. It has been tested and tech-edited; all it needs is photography, which I hope to get done this week.

I’d also like to give you a little peek at the design that is still very much a work in progress. It is a simple, fingering weight cardigan that is mainly unique because of the top-down shaping. This version is knit in Cascade Heritage Sock in colour 5645, which is a beautiful golden yellow.

Don’t yet start holding your breath for this one to come out, because as you can see I have an awful lot of knitting left to do on this one!

On a different note, a few weeks ago I started my classes towards becoming a seamstress, so expect more sewing related posts in the near future as well. So far it has been challenging (we’re going very fast and the amount of pattern drafting we have to be able to do by heart is quite daunting), but so much fun.
