Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
This week’s post was supposed to be Indie Gift-A-Long Week 2. However, I’ve actually made next to no progress on my GAL projects, in part because I’ve been working on this: That’s right, there will be Cluaran Mittens and a Cluaran Hat! As soon as I finished knitting the Cluaran Cowl, I knew I wanted …
The 2021 Indie Gift-A-Long is already a week old, and I’ve got projects to share! Even though I’ve loved being a participating designer this year (thank you to everyone who bought a pattern—or patterns!), my absolute favorite part of the GAL are the giant searchable bundles of eligible patterns, and the KAL/CAL threads where we …
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m a participating designer in the 2021 Indie Gift-A-Long! The Indie Gift-A-Long (GAL) is a massive multi-designer make-along that takes place on Ravelry every holiday season. Hundreds of designers’ patterns are eligible for categorized KALs/CALs that are designed to encourage festive gift-making (for loved ones or for yourself…); there are …
Glimpses of Autumn is here at last! This is my most complex crochet design so far, and I must admit I’m quite proud of how it came out. (I tore my hair out designing it…see the things I do for y’all.) It’s a level up from something like Pyrifolia; the stitch patterns aren’t much more …
It’s time to start holiday gift knitting (already?!?) and I have not one, but two new patterns for your consideration. Without further ado… The first design is Fireside Lace, a hat and scarf set in DK weight. This set is part of SweetGeorgia Yarns’ annual holiday capsule collection, Holidays with SweetGeorgia Vol. 7, a collection …
A few months back, Selena from Wool & Pine Designs approached me about preview knitting for Wool & Pine’s new collection for children. In other words, they hit some of their bestselling designs for adults with a shrink ray. Needless to say, I jumped on that bandwagon faster than you could say knit. Now, towards …
After a long wait—Downstream Tee is finally here! As you’ll notice, Downstream Tee is my very first garment pattern; need I say more to explain why this release was emphatically not on time? I completed the sample more than two months ago, but between grading the design, going through multiple rounds of tech editing, and …
I’ve got a new pattern to share with you today—please welcome the Cluaran Cowl! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I’m pretty stoked about this pattern, to the point of annoyance—if anyone’s tired of hearing about this one, my apologies. Every pattern is my favorite when I’m working on it. …
Y’all may remember the Ramblewood shawl, which I had the pleasure of test knitting a couple of months ago. Today I have a special treat to share, because the designer of Ramblewood, Tamy Gore, has agreed to do an interview here on the blog! She’s a talented designer and all-around lovely person to work with, …
As they say in Dr. Seuss, the time has come; the time is now. That is, it’s time to reveal the Quiet Bay MKAL shawl… What do you think? Quiet Bay is a bottom-up asymmetrical triangle, beginning with a long cast-on and a scalloped lace border. After the lace, the main body of the shawl …
