May 25th, 2011 · No Comments · Uncategorized
A new pattern I designed is up on knit picks: These are gusseted fingerless mitts with columns of lace that reminded me of art deco patterns, hence the name. If anyone actually happens to be reading this, I’m also announcing my hiatus from knitting and writing knitting patterns. I will still be around for pattern [...]
Sweet Potato Pi
March 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
My new pattern is up on KnitPicks! I’ve been wanting to incorporate more math into my knitting, so I decided to use the math constant pi as a design element. The first ten digits were plotted out and used to switch between knit and purl stitches on a standard slouchy style hat. To make things [...]

Also want to honor my mother-in-law, as she is a breast cancer survivor as well. Number 3 is knitted from my new obsession, Malabrigo Rasta. Knitters have been in love with [...]

Here is number two, the Bubble Gum Hat (free pattern follows): I’ve been seeing these chunky knit cabled beanies everywhere.
