This is my final set of Eye Pillows. There are two options: one plain and one with a simple cable. They are made out of La Luz (100% silk, 220 yards/2 oz) and knit on 5s (3.75mm) either straight or circular needles. What is awesome is that you can get 3 eye pillows out of one skein of La Luz. It is so luxurious that I know it would make a great gift for a variety of people. Mine even have lavender from my garden so they smell extra nice and really relaxing.


My second free pattern is for a holiday gift bag. It is made from Ivy (50% alpaca 45% merino 5% estellina, 137 yards/50g). It is such a luxurious yarn to knit with. I really love working with it. It also has a slight sparkle that is very delicate and perfect for holiday things. I think I might have to make a sweater out of this yarn at some point. It would also work well for a hat or a scarf. This bag took less than a ball on size 8 (5 mm) needles.
So, go and check them out and let me know what you think. I had a lot of fun designing them.
