Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
Well, today is the day! I have some fun stuff in store for all of you so be sure to read all the way to the end! The new patterns are out for preview and will be available for purchase from your local yarn shops and online in January 2010! Here is a quick look and link session for you.
Have you ever seen two cuter pixies than these? Rachel Russ is our resident expert on fair isle and she designed this playful pattern for Spud & Chloë. The photo above is of our new Pixie Poncho pattern knitted up in Spud & Chloë Sweater.
Here is the link for more information on the Pixie Poncho pattern.

The Three Brrr Bears is my latest toy pattern for Spud & Chloë. The cool (get it?) thing about this pattern is that the size difference in the three bears is due to yarn changes. The largest bear is knit in Outer, the medium bear is knit in Sweater and the small bear is knit in Fine. With a few minor length modifications to get proportions right, it is the exact same pattern for all three sizes. It is way cool and way fun to knit these playful, squishy, lovable polar bears!
Here is the link for more information on the Three Brrr Bears pattern.

I love the Lil’ Man Vest by Alana Dakos. What a treat this one is knit up in Spud & Chloë Outer. You’ll have this one whipped up in a matter of hours. Simple and wearable and sweet all rolled into one fast knit!

These are about the best Sassy Stockings ever! The stockings are a joint effort by Rachel Russ and Colleen Powley. The stockings are knit up in Spud & Chloë Fine. I am thinking about all of the color combinations you could come up. What fun!
Here is the link for more information on the Sassy Stockings pattern.

Who doesn’t love a Tea Party Cardi? This sweet and breezy cardigan works up in a flash in a broken rib pattern and knit in Spud & Chloë Sweater. Bobbi Intveld designed this pattern just for you! What a versatile little knit, love the 3/4 length sleeves on this one.

If you want to add some bright and sunny fun to your wardrobe this one is for you! I love the fun spirit behind Kim Hamlins’ Tiptoe Cardigan. The flowers are fabric applique and the cardigan is knit up in Spud & Chloë Sweater.

Okay, and last but not least, I have some news on this adorable canvas Spud & Chloë pencil bag. After I talked about this bag on the blog I had lots and lots of requests to purchase this pencil bag featuring our friends, Spud and Miss Chloë! I am happy to announce that the bag will be available for purchase in January 2010 and will be retail priced at under $10! If you are interested in purchasing a Spud & Chloë pencil bag please request one at your local yarn shops! Shops carrying Spud & Chloë can easily order these bags to have in their shop as well.

Hi Susan,
I love the pencil bag and patterns! You always do a wonderful job on your patterns, they are so much fun to knit.
Although I never win a thing, I am compelled to respond nonetheless! I wish a new boy baby would join our family so I could do the Lil Man Vest…how adorable is that!
Happy Holidays to all! I love your toy patterns!
I am absolutely in love with the Pixie Ponchos and the three bears! I think my little one needs me to knit her both.
Susan, I love your patterns. I enjoy reading your blogs so much. I am like your Mom and don’t see how in the world that you can come up with the patterns but I am so glad that you do. I have all three of your books. Keeping on knitting.

Oh, what fun! The tea party cardi and pixie poncho are tops on my list of 2010 projects.
LOVE all the new patterns!
I so thoroughly enjoy your blogs. I am always inspired to begin a new project – those polar bears would be a big hit at my house!
Difficult to chose only one favorite pattern, but love the Lil’ Man Vest by Alana Dakos is in the lead. Have a Lil’ Man who would look darling in this little vest.
I love the new patterns! I have a little boy who would look quite handsome in the vest… or love playing with any of the toys.
Everything’s adorable!
Love, love, LOVE all the patterns!!! Your designs are fantastically creative & always bring a smile to face! Happy Holidays!

Great to see new patterns—hoping i’m a winner:)
I love Spud and Chloe and would LOVE a free pattern too! Merry Christmas!
I wish I had a proper Spud and Chloe bulky yarn and appropriate pattern right now–we got 18+ inches of snow today in Arlington, Va., and knitting by the fire sounds perfect!
I’m a sucker for a good pencil bag – thanks for the contest!
I love the newest patterns! Happy holidays!
New patterns! So cute! Loved knitting Alana Doakes’ Chloe pattern out of Sweater. Time to start thinking of a new Spud & Chloe project.
The pixie poncho and the Lil’ man vest are gorgeous! The pencil bag would make a great notions holder for knitting on the go!
Happy holidays to everyone at Spud `n Chloe

I love those patterns and would love to win! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the bears, they’re so adorable! All the patterns are lovely
love the new patterns! can’t decide which I like more: the bears or the 3/4 sleeve cardi…really cute!
Hi Susan–what fun new patterns! I would love to try the Tea Party Cardi.
Hello
Love the patterns, especially the Tea Party Cardigan. Keep up the good work!
I have just discovered Spud & Chole through Ravelry. The patterns and designs are adorable and beautiful. They invite you in and make you want to knit them up as soon as possible. Keep these wonderful designs and patterns comming. Thank you!
Ooh, new lovlies! I can’t wait!
Just dropping in to say hi, and hope I can see some of the new yarn soon – it looks yummy!
Wow, amazing blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look effortless. The overall appear of your internet website is wonderful, let alone the content material!
Gotta say, for a team that year in and year out brings in a shit-ton of that nation’s highest-rated recruits, UT is showing me next to nothing. Either these highly-touted recruits are vastly overrated(partially true, as I think is the case with many TX players), or the coaching flat out stinks (again, maybe partially true). UT should be dominating nationally every year, based on the alleged quality of its recruiting classes, but against Baylor and even Aggy they looked like a mid-level BCS underdog.
I am sure everyone love loose review. I’m wondering if I’m in your review ?
Yeah! Why should kids have all the color fun? That’s what I thought anyway!-kim
Big ole NEVERMIND! I just noticed they won’t be available til January. That’s fine – I won’t have time to knit it til then anyway – so it’s all good!
