The post titles have been so original this week, haven’t they? I guess I just don’t have any clever and witty titles to go with these finished knits. Nevertheless, we complete the Hannah Trifecta today by showing her modeling the Flared Lace Smoke Ring.
I’ve had this pattern in my queue for years but just never got around to knitting it. Then one day a few weeks ago I was in Saftler’s and I spied some Plymouth Earth Ecco Cashmere. It was super soft (Hello, Cashmere) and reasonably priced and this pattern instantly popped into my head. I knew it would be a perfect combination and I was right.
I love the natural color.
I love that it can be worn softly around the neck or pulled up over the head for extra warmth.
I love the girl modeling it for me, too, but you already know that. She’s cute and charming and smart and funny. She’s a good friend and a great daughter. And despite her complaints about the cold, well, she loves to act and model. In fact, here she is channeling her inner 50s movie star.
The drama overfloweth.
Laurie Said,
Beautiful knit, and perfect for cashmere. Yes, the glasses make Hannah into….Audrey? Greta?
margene Said,
She looks fabulous in that look. The cowl looks warm and cozy, too!
Judy Said,
complaining about the cold was part of the fun, and the drama, no?
another beauty!
LittleWit Said,
I am definitely digging the 50s film star look. Perhaps I will make one for myself.
Karen Said,
Beautiful, both the smoke ring and Hannah.
Wool Winder Said,
Pretty! The lace stitch shows up well in the natural-colored yarn.
Leslie Said,
Yes, a movie star in the making. The glasses are the perfect finishing touch.

Very pretty! I bet the cashmere feel fabulous around your neck.
Hillary Said,
I love that smoke ring. The stitch pattern is very pretty and looks great in the natural color.
deb Said,
Oh – I didnd’t know you could wear it like that?? Now – now I’m interested!! Hannah reminds me so much of how I’m dreaming Kathryn will be in a few years. *hoping*
Marcia Said,
You’ve still got that poor kid out in the cold modeling handknits?! (Kidding….beautiful smoke ring, beautiful girl, even with that blue tinge to her skin.)
Carol Said,
Adorable! Both of them! I love the smoke ring pattern too. There must be something appropriate in the stash for that…
HB Said,
The cowl is beautiful and Hannah looks like she is posing for an 8×10 glossy for her portfolio! Thanks for sharing!
Chris Said,
Dang, you really have been knitting up a storm!
Sara Said,
Beautiful cowl. I’ll just bet it is warm and soft. Hannah looks beautiful as usual!

I can almost feel that cashmere… another winning project!

Beautiful smoke ring. Is it a little warmer out for the model?

I love the FO’s, especialy that gorgeous cowl. And your model is lovely!
Robin in VA Said,
The “Smoke Ring” is perfect above that “Blaze Red” shawl!
claudia Said,
Wow, its an amazing number of finished projects over here.
Cookie Said,
How long was that child outside without a coat? No wonder she got whiny. *L*
Another beautiful project! That pattern is on my list, too. Maybe it’s time to go hunting for yarn now that I’ve seen how lovely yours is.
Susan Said,
Beautiful! Wait, oh..the project was nifty, too! lol
Beth Said,
Hannah has the perfect glasses! Your cowl is beautiful!

Oh thing of beauty! *swoons*

You do have the BEST model! (and she’s modeling some wicked lovely knits too)
Jackie E-S Said,
Lovely and lovely! Thank you for choosing HeartStrings.
Manise Said,
Beautifully light and airy. Bet it’s nice and warm. I like the natural too. It’ll go with everything. As Erin said you have been a busy little knitter-bee!
Sarah Said,
That is so beautiful. I love the lace pattern. I think I need to knit one of these.
Wanda Said,
Hannah is a fabulous model. She is looking so grown up. You have really finished up a lot of great projects!

You HAVE been prolific!! Hannah looks like she is enjoying herself in these pictures
Vicki Said,
Ooh, that’s pretty. I have a Flared Smoke Ring and it’s one of my favorite things this time of year.
Birdsong Said,
Absolutely gorgeous… I gotta feel for Hannah though, her nose looks red in one of those. I know it’s much colder there at your house than at mine.
Teyani Said,
wow. Love it! great pattern, and such a divine use for cashmere. I’ll bet that it is divine around your neck.
love that last photo of Hannah – and I bet that you could totally pull off the 50′s glam too!
grumperina Said,
Happy New Year to you and your family! The last three featured knits (red, white, and blue, incidentally) are all gorgeous, as is your model daughter
