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 …
Pattern Releases: Fireside Lace and Britomart Tam
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 …
Pattern Release—Downstream Tee
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 …
Pattern Release—Cluaran Cowl
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. …
Pattern Release—Quiet Bay MKAL
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 …
Pattern Releases—Bilbo’s Garden Doily and Cornice
That’s right, folks—I have not one, but two new patterns to share with you today! The first pattern isn’t technically new; release day was actually back in June, but between the craziness of Quiet Bay MKAL prep, a system glitch on LoveCrafts that held the pattern up for almost a month, and a general avalanche …
Pattern Release—Overland
This should have been last week’s post; but life happened, so today I get to introduce you to my Overland shawl! Overland is published by Quince & Co. This design should have come out almost 2 months ago, but ran late due to supply/shipping hiccups with their linen yarns. In the meantime, it’s been really, …
Pattern (Pre) Release—Quiet Bay Mystery Knit-Along
This is big—really, really big: I got to design the SweetGeorgia Yarns Mystery Knit-Along! SweetGeorgia has been holding an annual summer mystery knit-along for the past several years; this year they’ve assigned the pattern design to me as part of my Designer in Residence duties. Yes, this is one of the secret things I’ve been …
Pattern Release: Pyrifolia
Crocheters, I have a new pattern for you today! I’ve been teasing this design on Instagram over the last few weeks and I’m pretty stoked about releasing it. Please welcome Pyrifolia! Spring is usually a bit touch and go where I live—we’ll hit summer weather in February and then freeze hard in April. This year …
Pattern Release—Á Chloris
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; …
