Secret Project Details

Posted on | May 31, 2006 | 11 Comments

It’s been all “hush hush” around neoknits recently and it can be so very very hard to keep a secret. I’m not able to tell you what I’m working on, but to keep things interesting, I’ll be posting some progress pics along the way!

Now, to give you a little bit of a background on all the secret knitting going on around here. I was contacted a few months ago by a very wonderful woman who just started her own hand dyed yarn shop online. She wanted me to design a few sweaters with her yarn so she can then sell the patterns on her site. This would go back to secret 1 and 2. What is the mysterious yarn shop? That would be Sundara Yarn! If you aren’t familiar with her site, take a look. Her variegated yarns are to dye…I mean to die for!

What about secrets 3 and 4 you ask?

Well, shortly after submitting my secret magknits project for June. (Which will be up any day now!) And it’s up now! Check it out here! I was asked by the lovely Kerrie of Hipknits to design 2 sweaters with her sock weight and aran weight cashmere. How could I say no to cashmere!

Speaking of cashmere and secret 4, here’s my progress so far:

I love the sock weight cashmere! It’s interesting to be knitting a sweater out of sock yarn. The great thing is: sock yarn = good yardage! I’m hoping to make the sweater out of no more than 2 balls.

So that’s the skinny! I look forward to sharing little details here and there about all 4 secret projects. The first two designs for both shops should be ready by late summer/early fall. And on that note, I better get back to my knitting!
