Truth. Goodness. Beauty. Yarn
Yesterday, a designer friend asked me on Instagram to talk about the design inspiration for Silence Tee. I got excited, since that’s something I love talking about but didn’t necessarily think others would be interested in. This info will be dispensed in smaller chunks on Instagram later, but I thought it would be fun to …
I’m trying something new today—Silence Tee is available for preorder! Silence is a boxy, top-down tee with lace saddle shoulders and a square neckline. It’s graded for an inclusive range, with 12 sizes to fit 32″-74″ bust, and there are lots of ways to customize the fit. If I do say so myself, it’s one …
The last few weeks have been pretty scatter-brained, even for me! My needles and hooks are going like mad but there are only a few things I can actually show you. So today I bring you a bubble-and-squeak of the things I can. First off, I’ve currently got a testing call running for the Silence …
Yep, I’m making a lot of them. I’m onto the body of my Prismatic! The colorwork actually stretched me a bit more than I expected; there are a few rounds of 3-color stranding, and quite a few long floats. But I’m quite satisfied with how it came out and can’t wait to block it. This …
Today’s release is a special one. My supervisor at SweetGeorgia Yarns, Tabetha Hedrick, suggested that I create a capstone design to close out my time as a Designer in Residence at SweetGeorgia. She wanted me to push myself, try out some skills I hadn’t used before. Thaw is the result. Thaw is an a-line pullover …
I’m starting to get quite nervous, because this design is working up exactly the way it’s supposed to. I shouldn’t be getting nervous. I should just be really, really excited that for once I’m not having to make any unplanned panic decisions because my gauge is off or I got my lefts and rights confused …
Crocheters, I’ve got a new one for you today! After releasing Glimpses of Autumn last year, I knew I wanted to revisit the same bias triangle shape, but with mini-skeins instead of a gradient. Minis give the design more flexibility, since crocheters can make personalized choices regarding how many colors to use, where to change …
Most release days I know exactly what to say. I’ve been practicing the bubbly chatter and the rattling off of all the pattern details for a while now. A lot of times it’s all rehearsed and planned out weeks in advance. This time I haven’t planned anything, and the bubbles aren’t working today. Of course, …
I’m back from a brief hiatus with something exciting to show you! After Glimpses of Autumn came out last fall (Ravelry and Payhip links for interested parties), several people asked for a winter version with snowflakes. Originally, Glimpses of Autumn was supposed to be a one-off, but designing it was so much fun that I …
It’s time to wrap up 2021—with one final release! Today’s release is actually two separate patterns, the Cluaran Hat and the Cluaran Mittens. After the Cluaran Cowl came out in October, I realized I wanted to put the same thistle motif on all kinds of other things. My first concept was a shawl (which may …
