Sinopia & Blue Sky Alpacas (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! Sinopia in Alpaca Silk from Blue Sky Alpacas One of my goals for this book was to make patterns that would work with whatever amount of yarn you happened to have. It's easy to feel like you can make something marvelous with 500 yards of yarn. It can be a bit trickier if you're working with half that. But because [...]
Nacarat & Briar Rose Fibers (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! Nacarat in Fourth of July from Briar Rose I've often confessed that I rely on several marvelous sample knitters to help me produce all the pieces you see in my books. There is just no way I could knit everything myself and still put out books at the rate I like to publish them. But every now and then, a [...]
Eversion is live!
The eversion of Curls is live! If you bought the book, you should have the full eversion in your ravelry library right now (if you don't take a look at the bottom of the post for some more info). Download it and let the knitting begin! And, if you're feeling chatty, I'd love to see you in my ravelry group to talk about what you're making. I promise, we're a super friendly bunch (and there will totally be a knit along come January). And, when you do download the eversion, you'll notice something special. JC Briar, genius behind Stitch Maps, [...]
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 [...]
