New pattern: Route 99!
Have you seen that there’s a brand new online knitting magazine? It’s called Stranded, and I have a pattern in the first issue! This is Route 99 (ravelry link), a fingering weight, modular, slip-stitch-colorwork, vintage turban style hat. These beautiful photos are from Stranded (copyright Andi Satterlund), which has 6 patterns, 2 tutorials (a knitting oneContinue reading “New pattern: Route 99!”
New pattern: Custom Triyang!
The final pattern in the Triyang collection is the Custom Triyang pdf, only included with the full collection, for obvious reasons. (On ravelry here.) Custom Triyang includes the original Triyang pattern rewritten in a way that allows the plain (garter stitch or stockinette stitch) sections to be combined with the sections from Twou, Vire, and Liy.Continue reading “New pattern: Custom Triyang!”
Knitlandia by Clara Parkes, blog tour: Paris (complete with giveaway!)

New pattern: Liy!
The final normal pattern in the Triyang collection (ravelry link) is Liy, a slip-stitch colorwork design. (The other patterns in the collection were blogged about: Triyang, Twou, Vire.) The colorwork in Liy is all made with stripes, slipped stitches, and twists; you’ll never need to carry the 2 colors at a time. It’s designed in worstedContinue reading “New pattern: Liy!”
New pattern: Vire!
The Triyang collection is now complete (see the whole collection on my site here or on ravelry here)! The cabled design is Vire, and it looks like this: It’s the most narrow of all the designs in the collection, more of a scarf than a shawl kind of, and it’s super squishy and cozy withContinue reading “New pattern: Vire!”
First VIP club 2016 hat pattern: Provocateur!
The first leethal VIP club hat mini-mystery-knit-a-long happened early this month, beginning on February 2nd and (the mystery) ending last Tuesday the 9th. The KAL continues a bit, as knitters can still post their projects to the forums, since a one-week KAL is so quick, but there’s no more mystery. The hat, Provocateur (ravelry link),Continue reading “First VIP club 2016 hat pattern: Provocateur!”
New pattern: Twou!
The first pattern in my Triyang collection (ravelry link) (besides the actual Triyang pattern) is out now! Thanks for your patience, as this collection has been taking me a bit longer to get out to you than I’d originally hoped/expected… But Twou is out now, Vire will be out by the end of this week, and LiyContinue reading “New pattern: Twou!”
Happy 2016! Now I can reveal the leethal VIP club!
I brainstormed this idea late last summer I think, got super excited, and then was bummed I couldn’t actually do anything about it because I wanted it to be a full calendar year thing, and now hey, it’s the start of the calendar year! The time is finally here!! Introducing my BIG 2016 THING: SoContinue reading “Happy 2016! Now I can reveal the leethal VIP club!”
