Well, actually, it was one of Laura’s shawls, not us ;-)
One of the TNNA special interest groups always hosts a fashion show on the first night of the trade shows. Laura’s Evening Shawl was in the January fashion show and it got great response from the audience.
What you can’t really tell from the video is […]
Hello all. This is Dave, Laura’s husband and support group.
I was glancing through the newly arrived Yarn Barn of Kansas catalog and was really jazzed to find two of Laura’s patterns prominently displayed on page 30.
The pattern at the upper-right is Diamanten and the pattern at the bottom is Capistrano.
Pretty cool, what?
I just counted them up. I released 23 new knitting patterns in 2010. It’s no wonder it feels like I’ve done nothing but knit all year.
The last two new patterns of the year are these very different cowls: Boreas, reversible cables knit with aran weight yarn and size 11 needles, and Windflower, a field […]
I did it. Even taking off a whole week of knitting, plus two days, and redesigning the sweater from the armholes up, I finished knitting it my NaKniSweMo project in the month of November. Here it is.
Okay, okay, I do have to weave in a few ends, but I’ll do that as soon as I’m […]
I released two patterns this morning: Alpenhorn fingerless mitts, and Edelweiss socks. Yup. You’ve seen these designs before. Numerous times. As I’m sure you recall, they were designed to be kits for Posh Yarn, but when the kit thing didn’t work out, Dee and I agreed that I should release them on my own. So, […]
The submissions are done. For now. They’re done in that they’ve been submitted. Both of them. Now we wait and see what happens. In the meantime, there’s been knitting afoot…
False Start
There are false starts, and then there are false starts. Don’t get me wrong, I love, love, ♥ both this yarn and stitch pattern, but […]
It’s official. Cuberos, sized for both scarf and shawl, is available for download at Patternfish. The printed patterns will be going out to yarn shops after I get it printed up.
Huge thank yous once again to everyone who participated in the naming event, with special thanks to Heidi (sadly blogless) who came up with the […]
When the folks at elann.com wanted to borrow my finished Gloriosa sweater for some modeled shots, I naturally said yes. They’d donated the yarn for the project, after all. They just got in a shipment of the lovely Peruvian Sierra Aran yarn, are doing a special, and have the photo of my sweater featured on […]
Over the last day I received more wonderful suggestions for the name for this scarf pattern, including:
tesseracts (from Madeleine L’Engle)
Tessalated Diamonds
My favorite came in last night. Heidi (sadly blogless) suggested Cuberos. This is what Heidi said:
I would suggest “Cuberos” or “Cuberus” from the words:
“cube” (based from the cubes/squares on the scarf)
“eros” (the primordial god […]
I’m having trouble naming my latest scarf design. You’ve seen un-blocked pictures of it before, but now it’s been blocked, and the gently scalloped edges show up to soften the angular regularity of the stitch pattern.
I asked my Facebook followers for some ideas, and these are the things they suggested:
Diamonds are a girl’s best […]
