Manos del Uruguay Illustrations

I had the opportunity to do illustrations for Fairmount Fibers last fall. They included some of the drawings in their new Manos del Uruguay pattern book. The new book includes patterns for seven blankets that highlight their Cotton Stria yarn. You can pick up a copy at Rosie's Yarn Cellar.

There is a lovely blanket that features Concentric Squares. It would be an adorable baby blanket.



My favorite one to draw would have to be this colorful Log Cabin type blanket. It must be the rainbow colors!



There is a cozy double blanket in a sophisticated color palette of dark brown and a subtle blue.



If people want to challenge themselves with new patterns, there are three color variations of a blanket that features twelve different stitch patterns.



There is a lovely Hexagon blanet, that I've heard are completely addicting to knit.



The last two blankets include one that features a Quilted Lattice stitch with a unique edging, and a sweet blanket with a hood that will swaddle a wee one. Pom poms or tassels may be added, and you know that I sure hope they are!



This was such a wonderful commission, and I loved drawing and painting one of my favorite hobbies. Thank you for the opportunity, ladies!
