I went into
Close Knit the other day and spotted
Boutique Knits. It's a wonderful book by
Laura Irwin, a Portlander who is a manager at
Seaplane.

Close Knit had samples of many of the projects from this book on display. These gloves are so cute. I really want to make these.

However, the gloves shown below are what really struck me. They are gorgeous.

I had to show this hood since I've been working on my hooded scarf this past week. I love the color and the thinckness of the whole peice. It looks so warm.

Isn't this hat beautiful? I've always been a huge fan of that braded look in knitting.

There are so many other items that I was blown away by. If you get the chance, do check out this book. The hand bags are amazing. They are mostly felted with some details knited. You can see photos of them on her flickr site here.
You can also read an interview with Laura from Oregon Live here.
