Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
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 …
You know those annoying film franchises where the producers didn’t know when to stop? Like when a single book turns into a trilogy, or a trilogy turns into a quartet, or every character gets a spin-off movie or tv series until all the plot holes are disguised by a thousand hours of backstory? Apparently I …
This week (it might even be this very day) marks the 3-year anniversary of my first design acceptance letter. It’s a big milestone. 3 years is time enough for a lot to happen; in the words of Bilbo Baggins, I’m not the same hobbit I once was. I’ve published 27 patterns to date, with more …
The contents of this post will reveal why my blogging schedule went sideways this week—I’ve been working on a lot of stuff. First up is the SweetGeorgia Mystery Knitalong, which has eaten largish bites of my waking hours over the last few weeks. There’s not actually anything to show for this one yet (mystery…), but …
Y’all remember my recently finished Seaglass Tee by Wool & Pine Designs. I won’t regale you again with how much fun it was, or all the attending philosophizing. But I bring it up because that tee brought me an extra-special opportunity… Wool & Pine is a design team of two talented women, Selena and Abbye. …
