Late Friday afternoon was pretty exciting day for me...my latest pattern was published on Knotions!
My most ambitious charting/designing project yet, The Root of One drew its inspiration from two sources; the notebooks that early naturalists would carry with them while exploring the world with their hand written notes and hastily, yet incredibly detailed, drawings of plants and animals and old fashioned traditional knitted doilies.
I love knitting doilies, but don't actually use them for anything. They just sit in a box, hopefully not, collecting dust. But a shawl that hugs my shoulders and doesn't need a shawl pin to stay put is something that I will always reach for!
Before you click the "buy now" button on either Ravelry or Knotions, I would like to suggest the subscription button (only on Knotions). Not only do you get that pattern, but all the patterns in the issue and a ton of tutorials! (Some of which I might have suggested to the editor as things that I think that knitters would be interested in learning or having a tutorial on.)
As always, working with Knotions and their team (tech editor, photographer and model) is a joy!
Photo credit for all but the first picture goes to Kellie Nuss Photography, modeled by the fabulous Maureen Nicholl, doesn't she look happy in that final picture?)
Until next time....Knit Happy!
