My Rasta Neckwarmer design, featured in Malabrigo Book 3, has received a lot of attention from hungry knitters. This fact excites me greatly :)
Thought I'd share one that I whipped up for my friend Kasi to give as a Christmas present this year. These really do make such great gifts.

Kristen Rengren of Retroknit, and author of Vintage Baby Knits (Ravelry Designer Page)
The prolificly published Mercedes T. Clark (Ravelry Designer Page) of piebird design

and Me, Breean E. Miller! I'm so excited to be included in a book with such fantastic designers :)
The folks at Malabrigo recently updated their website that the book will be available in December!
Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 12:20PM | Breean Elyse In my last post I showed the ad featuring my Rasta Neckwarmer, which is one of the patterns in the upcoming Malabrigo Book 3. In response to some feedback to commenters on the Malabrigo blog, Hannah posted a preview featuring a few of the book's designs. My Twisted Cowl was featured in this post!
Up to this point, I had only seen my own designs, and I was extremely excited to see the patterns from the other contributors. They are beautiful! The styling, done by Hannah Thiessen, is super gorgeous - apparently a lot of the clothes came straight from her closet! Wow :) Here are the other previewed designs:
Aren't they beautiful? This looks like a great book and I'm extremely honored and thrilled to be a part of it. I can't wait to have a copy of this baby in my hands!
