MIA.. No More

Hello!

Yes, I’ve definitely been MIA for a while… my apologies.  I’ve been dancing and singing on stage as part of the chorus for Burnaby Lyric Opera’s production of “Le Nozze di Figaro” by W. A. Mozart!  It’s been my first time in an operatic performance & it’s so exhilarating!  I love the cast and chorus members I get to perform with.

Anyway.. the thing is… while I’ve been neglecting to post on here, I’ve also been busy designing and writing up patterns for you all to try out.  I just uploaded my first free pattern, Gartered Baby Bibs, on Ravelry!  You won’t miss it.  My little nephew, Elli, is the cover photo for my pattern! =)

Also available for sale in my HbyS Etsy Store are:

Stargaze Cowl v.1

Interchangeable Ribbed Toque (with a free handwarmer pattern included)

If you’ve forgotten which knits these are.. here are some photos!

I hope you enjoy these!  I am currenly working on designing a slouchy beret-style hat for Urban Yarns as a beginner knitting kit.  I’ll keep you posted, I promise!

Instawhat?? Insta-knit.

Hello!

I have now joined the world of Android.  What does that mean?  I’m still not exactly sure.. as the transition from BlackBerry to such an overwhelming app world (ahem, excuse me.. play store) is beyond me.  Better late than never, right?

However! I have managed to figure out Instagram & photos/filters.  =)

Beware, Insta-knit is upon us at HbyS.  You can also follow my personal account here: @sylvabelle
