{I Have A Designer Crush}

Have you ever just been browsing Ravelry or the intra-blog-webs lazily, only half reading or seeing what you're clicking, when all of a sudden you see something new that makes you perk up?  I was on the blog Hoxton Handmade (which I adore) when I came across this design, and sat up a little taller, for sure!  So I clicked on over to the blog linked (babycocktails.blogspot.com) and could not believe my eyes! Gorgeous, practical, wonderful design after another! I thought to myself "I want to knit this, and this, and oh THIS!"







And before I knew it, I was deep in a designer crush with Thea Colman, aka Baby Cocktails on Ravelry.  I pretty much want to knit every sweater she has ever designed ever.  Isn't she gorgeous?  She also seems so super sweet and cool on her blog, which I spent a good amount of time reading from beginning and going back.  And just as a side note... maybe the nail that sealed the coffin of this crush... almost all these sweaters are top down. *SWOON*!

I commented on one of her patterns and she's going consider giving me a bulk discount on these patterns.  That's not weird or creepy of me to ask, right? hehe

    I get it! Those sweaters are gorgeous. Maybe some day I'll be good enough to even consider them!

    In the meantime, I've been dealing with a handful of disasters, including the loss of my domain name. Please come visit me at my new home: www.caffeinegirlknits.com

    Thea's patterns are extremely addicting. I bought Dark & Stormy last year and recently (like yesterday) bought Cassis and Irish Coffee. As soon as my Plucky yarn comes, I plan on casting on either Dark & Stormy or Cassis.

    So which one are you going to cast on first?!?!?

    Lovely designs! You have to check out White Russian. That's been on my faves list for quite a while!
