Going for Gold

So tomorrow marks the end of the Olympics and I can hear your needles busy clicking away to meet your goal for the Ravelympics/Knitting Olympics. I had entered myself in the WIP event, but never knit more than 4 rows ceremoniously during the opening ceremony. Instead, I’m going for gold in the Super Secret Deadline [...]

neoknits volume one: Cohansie

After a little bit of a delay, I’d like to introduce the fourth pattern in neoknits volume one: Cohansie. The Cohansie cardigan is constructed all in one piece with a fake drop stitch pattern on the body. Clean lines are achieved with a snap closure placket with a grosgrain ribbon backing for extra support.  The [...]

Interweave Knits Spring 2010 Preview

The Interweave Knits Spring 2010 preview is up! I designed the Double V Cardigan for this issue. The cardigan features a lace rib pattern in a somewhat chunkier weight yarn than is usually paired with lace. The cotton/linen/viscose blend yarn gives the garment a nice crisp feeling, but still drapes beautifully thanks to the viscose. [...]

The Latest Sweater Saga

For the past three months or so, I’ve been working on a new sweater in Fleece Artist Woolie Silk 3ply (which will be apart of the collection) and I am very happy with the way it has turned out, but there’s certainly been a few bumps along the way.  It’s always easy to shy away [...]

Collection Update

I know I mentioned that new patterns would be released once every 1 or 2 weeks, but I feel a little guilty that there won’t be one for this week. My photographer, aka neoknit’s husband came down with Mono about 2 weeks ago and I’ve been unable to photograph patterns 4 and 5. He should [...]

Thank You!

I really don’t know how to thank you all for your generous response this month as I collected money for the Haiti relief effort! I managed to hit the $250 mark for Doctors Without Borders, but all of the credit goes to you! I only supplied the vehicle, you did all the work. It’s amazing [...]
