Upcoming Workshops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I know the above was fairly heavy, so thanks for sticking with me. I’ve got a few events coming up and I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nNow, the part you’re probably wondering about most. It’s been a while since Extreme Double-knitting came out, and you haven’t seen any new patterns from me. Truth be told, I’ve had a lot of difficulty over the past year: injuries, a death in the family, changing responsibilities at work and more. I’ve gone in and out of creative modes and have done less than I hoped. However, I feel I owe you an update on the various things on (and off) my needles, so here you go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Rats Live on No Evil Scarf<\/strong>: If you follow me on IG, you may have seen some of this. This massive two-pattern palindrome scarf is finished and blocked; it just needs a model. I admit I set the bar high because I wanted a model with pet rats so we could have thematically appropriate photos. I have one, but she hasn’t been responding. We may have to downgrade to mice — we’ll see :><\/li>
- Agni Deus<\/strong>: This fire-themed beaded double-knit hat is waiting in the wings for me to have time for a more involved project. I have ironed out the details so it just needs to be knitted.<\/li>
- Honey Locust<\/strong>: This earth-themed double-knit tam is being tackled by four adventurous test knitters. Once they’re all done, I’ll do the final edits on the pattern — but it will be part of a larger collection, so I have to decide whether to wait for all of them to be done or release them piecemeal.<\/li>
- Falling Blocks Redux<\/strong>: I’ve selected yarn for a two-color two-pattern version of my signature three-color two-pattern double-knit hat. I expect the knitting to be fairly quick.<\/li>
- Severn Thicket<\/strong>: I never had my own version of this pattern, as the yarn company commissioned it and has the only knitted sample. I found the remaining yarn and decided to knit my own sample, making a couple of subtle changes too.<\/li>
- Super Secret project<\/strong>: I’m working on another cowl — a pretty quick knit, in the same “family” as Bipolar<\/a> — for a really fascinating and unique book that presents patterns in a completely new way I’ve never seen before. It’s definitely got me thinking, but this will likely eat whatever creative time I have through the end of August.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
