🧶I'm so excited to be a designer in the Fasten Off Yarn Along. There are lots of designers involved, lots of pattern options, and it is going to be a lot of fun. More information over at @fastenoffyal.bsky.social for all your questions and sign up needs. 🧶

If you are at Sacred Sheep tomorrow (Saturday) come find me and get a card with a discount code for the Both Sides Now Cowl! I've got a pocket full of codes and I want to share!

Even better, both recommended yarns are available at Sacred Sheep.

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.

Links in comments.

The Both Sides Now Cowl comes out tomorrow! I'm so excited to share this one and tell you more about it... But I have to go clean the kitchen now. So check back tomorrow and see what's up with this design.

🧶 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.

🧶 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. 🧶

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.

Let the @knitforfood.bsky.social knitathon begin!!!
I’m all swatched and mathed and charted for a new design (one of my retreat patterns this fall)! Registration for Stitchin’ Vermont ends 4.18 and TODAY is your last chance to hop in Bingo with me & @knotbadbritt.com

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

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!
