Watchet & Claudia Hand Painted Yarns
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Watchet in F-55 from Claudia Hand Painted Yarn You all know I'm a fan of things being tidy and orderly. I keep my books in alphabetical order and line them up with a ruler. My yarn is carefully sorted, and so is my tea. I like things to be arranged just so. So it should be no surprise at all [...]
Ianthine & Space Cadet Creations (giveaway)
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Ianthine in Oriana 8-Ply from Space Cadet Creations I am, generally, fairly immune to the charms of what you might call girly things. I don't do pink and purple. I'm not all that susceptible to lace. I'm far more likely to wear jeans than a skirt. But every now and then, when I'm not expecting it, something undeniably girly will [...]
Infuscate & String Theory (giveaway)
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Infuscate in Selku from String Theory Most of the time, holes in your knitting are a bad thing, a cause for great alarm. But in this case, the holes in this piece are a very good thing indeed. I am hopelessly in love with the stitch pattern used for this Curl. I keep thinking it looks like kelp or seaweed [...]
Pavonated & Elemental Affects (giveaway)
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Pavonated in Civility Sport from Elemental Affects Do you ever find yourself feeling indecisive? It doesn't hit me often, but when it does, it hits hard. I found myself plagued with indecision when I swatched for this piece. I simply could not decide which side of the fabric should be the right side. They are both lovely (and quite distinct), [...]
Indie Gift-a-Long
I know, I know. Two posts in one day, what is the world coming to? But this is just a super quickie. I'm dashing in to mention that the Indie Gift-a-Long starts tonight on ravelry. What's the Gift-a-Long you ask? The short version is I, and hundreds of other designers, have picked some of our very favorite designs and put them all on sale. You can see the 20 patterns I have on sale right here, and you can get 25% off them with the code: giftalong2014 The slightly longer version (the one that explains all the games and prizes [...]
Argent & Anzula (giveaway)
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Argent in Cloud from Anzula If I'm being honest, I'll confess that my own personal difficulty wearing shawls was a significant motivating factor in making this book. I'm really not good with shawls. On a bad day, even scarves have been known to prove challenging. The whole goal of Curls was to make pieces even I could wear. But, even [...]
Gridelin & Baah (giveaway)
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Gridelin in Sonoma from Baah You know how sometimes a yarn and a pattern combine just right to produce a project that's more than the sum of its parts? That totally happened here. The yarn and the stitch seem more or less meant for each other. The pairing produces fabric that looks almost like it was carved in stone. The [...]
Cerise & The Fibre Company
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Cerise in Road to China Light from The Fibre Co. I'm going to make a confession. Despite more or less passing as an adult most of the time, I am occasionally far too easily amused. The wonderful, bouncy spiral on this piece entertains me far more than it has any right to. My only consolation is that I'm not alone. [...]
Caesious & Swans Island
I'm using the Curls preorder to introduce the patterns and yarns from the book. I'll be featuring a new pair each day. Most of the yarn companies have donated lovely prizes, so come back every day to see what's new! Caesious in Washable Wool from Swans Island I love this project. The stitch pattern is marvelously simple (really the chart is tiny, you'll have it memorized about the second time you work it). All the fun comes from a few cleverly placed extra wraps of yarn around the needle. You don't have to do anything hard, and the result is [...]
