Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Last week I mentioned that I’m going through the process of creating my first garment design. There are several other announcements in that post (and pretty yarn pictures!); you can read that here. Surprisingly, I haven’t experienced any major disasters yet. Okay, a thing or two may need to be reworked. But overall, I think …
Yes, my third blog post of this week cometh. I promise not to do this too often. But I have something so big to share right now that it just couldn’t wait—I’m honored and thrilled to announce that I’ve been chosen as a Designer in Residence at SweetGeorgia Yarns for the 2021-2022 season! SweetGeorgia is …
Is it really time to do this? I almost can’t believe it; but here we are. It’s time to release the last pattern from Mélodies: please welcome Á Chloris! Pattern and giveaway information are towards the bottom of the post, as are more details regarding the Mélodies KAL which starts in just a few weeks; …
The last couple of weeks have been an epic speed-knitting marathon for me, which should mean that I have lots to show today; problem is, I can’t actually show it to you yet. One of the wacky things about working in the knitting industry is that everything is done 9-12 months ahead of time, which …
I’ve got something extra special to share with you today—an interview with Jennifer Weissman of ShadyStroll Knits! Jen has been one of my favorite indie designers for some time now; after mentioning one of her pieces in last week’s post on creativity, I got to thinking “Wouldn’t it be great to hear from the designer …
I freely admit to being grateful for the opportunity to do two yarn reviews in a row over the last few weeks (and to show off other people’s projects!). Between two birthdays in the family, some tricksy design decisions, and lots of ripping and re-knitting, I haven’t had much to share in the way of …
Goodness, that’s an absurdly long post title; but I have lots of exciting things to share with you today. First of all, please welcome the Helenental Cowl! I’ll be totally honest; this release is a bit last minute. I don’t even have progress photos to show you because I was too busy knitting maniacally to …
Six weeks just shot by like a bullet train—it’s time to release Clair de Lune! We’re following the usual drill today—pattern & ebook info and giveaway instructions are down at the bottom, so if you want to skip the customary ramble, do so with my blessing. (Though rambles are known for their lovely scenery…) The …
Okay, okay. I know I said to expect a yarn review this week, and it hasn’t happened; and here I am talking about a new pattern. I’m sorry; but this is just too exciting. This is Fox Grapes, published by Quince & Co. as part of their new 5-pattern colorwork collection, Waterline. It’s a squishy …
I know favoritism is a bad thing; but I have to say that this might be my favorite design for this year. Okay, okay. I have quite a few favorite designs this year—some already published, some close to publication, and some that are scheduled far into the mysterious mists of 2021. But this just might …
