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 [...]
Dance
You are all amazing. You are, in fact, so amazing that I am having a hard time finding the words to talk about it. So instead, I'm going to tell you what happened on Friday. On Friday, I put Curls up for preorder. I've done this before. I know what it's like. It's like planning a party. You work for a long time (putting in far more time and energy than folks who don't throw parties would believe). You invite people. You get very excited but also more than a little nervous. What if no one comes? What if only [...]
Curls
Wow! You guys are awesome. Enough of you showed up that you crashed the server. The Boy has done some frantic typing (and I have done some helpful swearing) and thing seem to be back on track (slow, but working). If you're still having problems, get in touch and we'll get it sorted out. Thanks guys, I'm totally blown away by your excitement! The presale starts today! You can get the book right here, or just click on the giant picture of the book's cover below to be taken directly to the right spot. Just a few tiny bits [...]
Q&A
You've got questions, I've got answers. Let's see if I can be all cool and answer them in advance! What's in the book? Patterns for 14 lovely, asymmetrical, wearable wraps that you can knit at any gauge and with any weight of yarn. You can see pictures of them over here or in the picture below. And, just to make sure your knitting goes smoothly, there are sections exploring the relationship between gauge and needle choice, detailing how to read a chart, and outlining the best way to block your Curl. There's also a discussion of how Curls work, just [...]
