My first double-knitting workshop of Spring 2010 is scheduled for February 13, from 1-4, at Mind’s Eye Yarns in Cambridge, MA. If you haven’t been to this store before, it’s the place to go in Cambridge nowadays for great yarn, roving and spinning supplies. Lucy has been very good to me, always among the first to schedule when I run my workshops, and at a reasonable price. Sign up for my workshop — there’s not much time. I have info out at the various other shops I teach at, and will be posting here as soon as dates for my other workshops are nailed down.
Day: January 30, 2010
Falling Blocks hat pattern now up for sale!
I’ve been working on my signature hat pattern for some time — the first draft went out to the guys at the Men’s Spring Knitting Retreat last May. I had some test-knitters working on it last Fall, but with the wedding and all the other stuff surrounding that, I didn’t get to processing and finalizing the pattern until last weekend. I incorporated as many of my test-knitters’ ideas into the pattern as I possibly could — there was one other good one I may incorporate later but I will have to test it first. So, many thanks to the worldwide group of test knitters who helped me get this out, and now I hope people will try out the pattern for themselves.
One of the great strengths of this pattern is that I have developed a way of notating my technique that will allow anyone — even people who have never double-knit before — to succeed with this hat.
