TWO new patterns.

This week, I published THREE patterns. Go, me. On Tuesday it was The Nord Mittens of Dwindling Frost, then Wednesday, the Fenwick Island Pullover, and today: the Rehoboth Beach Tank Top. Both tops are named after places in Delaware, because, well... I suck at choosing names for patterns, and we live in Delaware, so I literally just looked at Wikipedia for a list of places in Delaware, then picked two I liked. Highly scientific.




Rehoboth Beach Tank Top on top, Fenwick Island Pullover on the bottom. I hope you knew that from looking.

These are both things I started, ahem, years ago, and only in the last couple months pulled out again. They are both cotton, ironically, because these two things are literally the only two things I've ever made with a cotton or cotton blend yarn. I've actually been wearing the tank top quite a bit, now that we've entirely skipped spring and have gone straight into summer. Today it's 80 degrees outside. What the hell, Delaware.
