THE PATTERNS
Original hand knitting patterns for beginners, intermediate and experienced knitters, with very detailed step-by-step instructions, photos, charts, and schematics tracking sheets and finishing techniques.
★ The designs are special:
-
a mix of classic style with an avant-garde edge
-
a number of designs are inspired from high fashion runway shows
-
unusual details
-
interesting techniques
-
written in multiple sizes
-
special attention to finishing and embellishment
★ As a former shop owner:
-
I had the luxury of immediate feedback, which is why I understand the need for clarity in written patterns.
-
I understand that you want to substitute a different yarn than was used in a particular pattern. A link to a list of other yarns that can substitute for the yarn used to knit the sample, when available.
-
I realize knitters want different types of projects for many different reasons.
- a quick non-thinking project
- easy but still high style
- long term labor intensive project
★ As a knitwear designer:
-
I have been published in Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple
-
I am always aware of the latest knitwear trends.
-
I know what is flattering to different body types.
-
In addition to classic styles, I combine closet sweater design (fun to knit and way out there, but never to be worn in public) with a design that you will be excited to knit, wear and show off.
