Of course, the patterns can be used for non-double-knitting colorwork too.<\/p>\n<p>Twist Collective approached me in mid-summer, after my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsapurlman.com\" target=\"_blank\">Guido<\/a> took my portfolio and some samples to TNNA, to write a pattern and an article for their Winter issue. I got the yarn and churned out two and a half hats in the space of a month, as well as a pattern, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twistcollective.com\/collection\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/35-features\/452-an-introduction-to-double-knitting-the-four-winds-hat\" target=\"_blank\">an article and three tutorial videos<\/a>. Thanks to my sample knitter Suzanne for her help, and Suzanne, there will be a free pattern in this for you as soon as I figure out how to get my hands on it without having to pay myself.<\/p>\n<p>I have a pattern ready for my Falling Blocks hat (go see my old <a href=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/antiblog\/knitting.htm\" target=\"_blank\">antiblog<\/a> around November of 07 for more info on that) and many test-knitters who have done a fantastic job with it. I need to finalize the pattern and get that one posted on Ravelry as well. To any of my test-knitters who are reading, thanks so much and I hope you can understand the delay. What with the Twist Collective pattern and the wedding, I just haven&#8217;t had time to review the input from that hat, but rest assured it is going to happen soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to Guido for his advocacy, and to my lovely wife <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amandamarcus.com\" target=\"_blank\">Amanda<\/a> for putting up with my pattern-work while I should have been helping more with wedding stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, Twist Collective published its Winter 2009 issue, which I have a pattern in!
