Double Deco Knit Along!

This is exciting! I'm leading a KAL for one of my favorite recent patterns, Double Deco. 

 

Starting Wednesday October 1st you can knit along with us, learning tips and tricks along the way... and in the end you'll have your very own gorgeous wrap.

Head over to the Ewe Ewe blog to find out how to join in. There's a coupon for 25% off the pattern price!

Once you've got your materials, join us on the Ewe Ewe blog and/or the Double Deco KAL forum on Ravelry!

Here are the colors of Ewe So Sporty I'll be using for the new version of the shawl. What do you think? If you're having trouble choosing colors, check out my color combinations blog post!

 

Double Deco Shawl knitting pattern!

I'm so excited to share this with you: My new knitting pattern Double Deco is now live on Ravelry!

It was designed with Ewe So Sporty which is just lovely to work with. A soft, springy merino sport weight and it's washable... can't beat that.

This shawl is looong, perfect for wrapping yourself up on these chilly afternoons. It's a simple knit (deceptively so) with a bold graphic style. The knitting is mostly very very easy garter stitch (knit stitch forevaaah!) -- If you can increase (kfb), pick up stitches, and knit, you're good to go on this. TV knitting at its finest.

Like wings!

There are so many ways to wear this. And think of all the 4-color combinations you could do! I want to make a more pastel version at some point. 

Thanks to Heather Walpole at Ewe Ewe Yarns for the yarn and inspiration.

I hope you enjoy this fun pattern!

New knitting pattern - Stegosaurus Cap!

hello!

This one developed naturally from my love of chevrons and clean decrease lines. And dinosaurs.

Using a self-striping yarn, like Noro Silk Garden or Trendsetter Tonalita (pictured) makes for really fun, slightly unexpected stripes and color combinations. The pattern uses 4 colors (including one self-striping) and is a fantastic stashbuster.

Using larger needles than is usually recommended for dk-weight yarn, this hat knits up fast and is lightweight, drapey, and great for spring/summer/fall.

And of course, there had to be a wee size of this one-- the baby size fits 6 months (but is fairly stretchy) and has a pointy crown which I think looks sort of elfin and adorable. Nicely unisex.

Thanks to Julia and her baby daughter Harper for modeling. Look at those cheeks, oh man.
