Created for the memory crafters who wish to memorialize and preserve outdoor family activities in a simple, modern and masculine style, Outdoor Man is Provo Craft’s newest addition to their Image Library. Outdoor Man’s layered images allow you to personalize adventures and recreate the story just as you remember it – rugged, modern and perfect. Beyond camouflage and neon orange, Outdoor Man provides realistic resources for creators to:

* Craft for the activities in their lives that are outdoors
* Scrapbook, create cards, home decor and wearables with rustic elements
* Memorialize the simple activities that their family loves
* Fast, simple and easy images with a one-cut feature
* Layer images for unlimited color options and personalized memories

Outdoor Man is sure to capture hundreds of past and to come memories of being one with the wilderness. The feel of the images is modern with just enough rugged and contains a new serif font in both upper and lower case. The images also include 50 phrases that match Outdoor Man modern and masculine style.

Knit a Sweet Hood Covered with Flowers

I happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere, but I know we have a lot of Southern Hemisphere friends, too, who are heading into the cooler months as we are warming up. Whichever one of the seasons you’re in, you might want to  stitch up this sweet little hood.

This pattern by saskie&co is called snug hood and it uses two colors of yarn to make a close-fitting pixie style hood (almost a balaclava but it doesn’t cover your face, though there is a neck covering portion to keep you a little warmer). You can use the fingering weight wool and mohair held together that are called for in the pattern, or use a single strand of DK weight yarn.

The neck portion and the edging around the face are worked in ribbing in a single color, while the body of the hat includes an allover colorwork flower pattern. The project is worked both flat and in the round and there is colorwork that is knit flat, which means you’ll have to purl in colorwork (which some people don’t like; also, you can’t see what you’re doing as well on the back of the work).

The pattern comes in one size and the colorwork is charted. Testers noted this is a quick and easy project and a great way to learn some new skills (chart reading, working stranded colorwork flat) if you’ve never tried those things before. They noted the hood is cute, comfortable and warm, and a few said it didn’t take as much yarn as the pattern suggests, so bear that in mind if you’re trying to use stash.

Speaking of the pattern notes, check out all the cute color variations in the projects on Ravelry. From pink and red to blue and white to gray and cream, there are lots of great options to think about.

You can buy this pattern on Ravelry.
