🧶 I have been having fun playing with both sides of mosaic knitting. Keep you why on this because it's going to be a pattern soon and it's going to need test knitting. 🧶

Blue and white mosaic knitting pattern fills the frame. The right side is the "right" side and the left side is the "wrong" side.

🧶 Working up another sample of my Both Sides Now Cowl, coming out next Friday. Will I finish it by Friday? I don't know. Will I have enough yarn? It's stash leftovers, so we will see how long this cowl ends up.
More photos and details coming soon, but you can mark your calendars for next Friday!

I've been busy playing with mosaic knitting. Next Friday, November 7th, I'll release the Both Sides Now Cowl pattern. It's a fun and quick pattern knit flat and grafted. Easy to memorize and my test knitters have given it high marks.

Shown here with Spincycle Dream State and Woolfolk TovDK.

A quiet hour at Portal Tea for some design work. My youngest is working on a final paper across the table from me. The feelings are good and the knitting is flowing.

NAME CHANGE! The name I gave this shawl design just didn't sit right. I wanted it to work, but it refused. This is now the Civitas Spiralis Shawl/Scarf - that translates as Community Spirals and I love it. Pattern release next month for the opening of @stringfieldyarn.bsky.social

It’s here! The Both Sides Now Cowl is up on both Ravelry & Payhip and ready for you to cast on. Designed to use one skein of Spincycle Dream State and one skein of Woolfolk TovDK, it’s a knit that has a lot of personality and interest, but easy enough for social knitting.

I shared my Stitchin’ Vermont vid but I neglected to share the sweater details about what I was wearing. Shameful! 🤣
The pattern is called Cardi Vest and it is a super satisfying quick-knit, totally adorable. Here are a few versions. And yes, instructions are included for a hood or shawl collar!
Blonde woman in a light denim top with dark denim jeans. She’s got a grey vest style sweater opened in the front (it has button closures.

A beautiful dog is facing but looking to the side. The woman on left is wearing mustard colored leggings, a denim skirt , white long sleeve top with a grey hooded vest and brown boots. The woman on right is wearing mustard colored pants a white shirt and the same vest, but in red with a shawl collar instead of a hood. They are standing outdoors in an open space with leaves on the ground and a few trees in the distance. A young woman is facing the camera but looking to the left. She’s stranding on green grass with a tree behind her. She’s wearing a white long sleeve tee and a turquoise, buttoned hand knit sweater vest. The buttons are orange, and coordinate with the colorwork on the sweater which is mostly hidden by the woman’s long, dark hair. She’s also touching her hood with her hands as it sits on her head. A red headed woman is standing sideways wearing a white shirt and a red knit vest, showing the textured, twisted rib shawl collar. She is outdoors in an open space with leaves on the ground and a few trees in the distance.
