Plicate (plus giveaway)
A while ago, I quietly took down all my earliest patterns. They were fine, but they just weren’t quite as polished as my current work, so down they came. I’ve been revamping them (new layouts, new charts, updated text, and often new pictures and more sizes) and rereleasing them as time allows. Louche is back out, as are lots of lovely cuffs. But it was about time for a hat pattern to get some love, so today I’m bringing Plicate back! Plicate is, if you'll forgive the shameful lack of modesty, awfully close to my idea of the perfect slouchy [...]
Complect (plus giveaway)
The pattern for Complect, the lovely twisty cabled socks, is now up on ravelry. I'm smitten with them, so I'm going to indulge in some pictures, then we'll do that useful information thing (complete with handy dandy yarn giveaway, so do read on). These hit that perfect knitter sweet spot for me...there is enough going on to keep your interest, but not so much that they're hard. They are appealing to both guys and girls. And they work in a bunch of yarns (the pattern is written for gauges of 7, 8, and 9 stitches per inch, so you've got [...]
Filemot & Spud & Chloë (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! Filemot in Fine by Spud & Chloë There is a place in this world for auto pilot knitting. The stuff you can knit in the dark at the movie theater, or over a beer in the dimly lit bar, or while watching some deeply engrossing tv show. Projects like that are lovely, and there are several of them in this [...]
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 [...]
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), [...]
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 [...]
