eden

I am licensed to knit Eden's Adam and Eden's Eve, by designer tiKKi (Georgie Hallam). I was lucky enough to be a tester for this wonderful pattern for Georgie and am very happy to be able to knit these for sale.

This is a fabulous top - it looks great on both boys and girls, and can be worn in summer knit in cotton as a singlet top on it's own. Knitted in wool, in the winter wear it as a bottom layer against the skin or over the top of a long sleeved top as a vest. You'll get plenty of wear all year round from a garment like this!

The Eden's Adam is pictured here as I am yet to knit the Eden's Eve, but if you are interested in seeing what the dress version looks like you can see that on tiKKi's blog here

The size ranges from newborn up to size 10

There are a number of options and ideas in the pattern to personalise it and make your garment different and special from others. Both my children's have garter stitch stripes at the top - but you may prefer to have it knit in a solid colour, or a variegated with a solid colour at the top. Have a look at more pictured on Coco Kids for just some ideas of how it can be made.

To enquire about or order an Eden's Adam or Eden's Eve email me. The other Coco Kids knitters, Ali and Kate, are also able to knit one for you.

I (along with Kate) am also currently licensed to knit Milo Vests, also designed by Georgie Hallam

eden's Been Released

You may have seen me blogging about test knitting 'Simplicity' for tikki recently here and here

Here's a couple of pics to refresh your memory

Well, the pattern was released yesterday with it's new name 'eden'. Eden comes as an e-book with 2 different patterns, eden's adam for the singlet/vest version, and eden's eve for a dress (watch out for an example of this one in the next couple of weeks hopefully)

From tikki's blog:
"Both share the same starting point in the pattern and are knit on 3.25mm needles and 4mm needles.

The pattern is primarily written for cotton or cotton blend yarns and the beauty of this pattern (I think) is that you can actually knit the garment in either 4ply, 5ply, 8ply or 10 ply yarn for the same sizing. It is also suitable for wool, but I would recommend the 4, 5 or 8ply for that for a suitable end fabric.

The pattern also comes with a palette of ideas at the end on how you can individualise your own eden, think stripe ideas, pockets, embellishment, hemlines"

Now for the exciting news - the lovely Georgie has gifted me a cottage license for the eden patterns as thanks for the test knitting which means I'll be knitting them for sale soon! Watch this space for more updates. Thanks Georgie!

Hey, and Georgie is also running yet another fabulous competition over on her blog for eden, pop over there and have a look
