I'm rounding it out to $100, since DWB can use all the money they can get! Thanks to everyone for buying the pattern and supporting Haiti relief! http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=155 Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that until the end of January, 50% of all my pattern sales will go to Doctors Without Borders. We've got to help Haiti! So please take a look through my knit and crochet patterns and consider buying them (or make a ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=153 I have so much to blog about, but hardly any time to blog! I've come out of hibernation to announce a new pattern I've designed! This is the Ray of Light Shawl I designed for my friend Leslie. It's a pretty simple pattern with a couple twists. I love the sleek ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=150 So, here's a quick update on my pre-Thanksgiving knitting progress (I don't eat turkey, but that doesn't stop me from calling it Turkey Day!): First, the shawl I am making for my friend Leslie. It is coming along, slowly but surely (it's way bigger than my Ishbel though!) and I'm about ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=147 To be honest, I should have blogged earlier, but I've been busy.

But instead I bought some yarn) and then I came home for the craziest Halloween ever ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=144 My mom's at it again! She writes up crochet patterns faster than I can knit! Here's another one of her patterns, for sale on Ravelry: The Kitty Scarf If you love your cat, don't you want to commemorate it by crocheting a scarf so you can bring your cat wherever you go? ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=140 I can finally blog about the SuperSecret Project! It's a Girasole! I finished it on time for my parents' anniversary, blocked it in my dorm room on cork board and towels (with the help of a friend), and was able to present it to them as a gift when I got home ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=138 My supersecret project is growing and growing and growing. I wish I could show a picture of it, but suffice it to say that earlier this week my friend wore it as a hat. If she tried to do that now, she might drown in yarn. It frightens me daily, ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=134 I am going to attempt to blog at least once a week, since people from real life told me they want me to so they can keep tabs on what I'm working on...and who wants to disappoint them? Certainly not me! The problem is, for the next two weeks(ish), I'm working ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=131 Sorry I've been absent these last few months. Summer was crazy and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things! In case you didn't hear, my mom and I have a new crochet pattern for sale on Ravelry. It's called the Lake House Throw, and it's a really nice ... http://www.allisonwcohen.com/knitblog/?p=128
