Here in New England, the weather is getting noticeably cooler, and we&#8217;re starting to see hints of the coming foliage color in the trees (Actually, in the cemetery I ride through every day, the leaves have been falling since mid-August. Go figure). Before we know it, we&#8217;re going to be bundling up and watching our breath escape in clouds of steam &#8212; and wishing we had some warm winterwear. If you&#8217;re not in a climate that gets cold (or a hemisphere where the oncoming season is Winter) you&#8217;ll have to excuse my Northeast-centrism, and make your own excuses for double-knitting.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage folks to get double-knitting, I&#8217;ve done some recent legwork (ok, mostly mousework &#8212; my legs don&#8217;t do much when I&#8217;m on the computer for hours on end) to take many of the patterns available only in my book and create standalone patterns as well. So if you&#8217;ve been itching to make something from my book but didn&#8217;t want to spend the money on the whole thing, maybe it&#8217;s available now as a standalone pattern! Also, I&#8217;m having a pattern sale to show you my appreciation for your love of my designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.double-knitting.com\/patterns.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"607\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?attachment_id=607\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?fit=728%2C90&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"728,90\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FBD-FallSale-Banner\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?fit=660%2C82&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-607\" alt=\"FBD-FallSale-Banner\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?resize=510%2C63&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"510\" height=\"63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?w=728&amp;ssl=1 728w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?resize=300%2C37&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/FBD-FallSale-Banner.jpg?resize=150%2C18&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>First, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.double-knitting.com\/patterns.html\" target=\"_blank\">check out my new patterns page<\/a> &#8212; I&#8217;ll add more to it as I get more photos and design more patterns, but for now it&#8217;s looking really good and working really well on most browsers I&#8217;ve tested. If it&#8217;s not working for you, you can just visit my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/designers\/alasdair-post-quinn\" target=\"_blank\">Ravelry designer page<\/a> for most of the patterns. Also, please do email me if you have problems with the page so I can make sure it works for as many people as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Second, remember the phrase &#8220;One if by hand, two if by tree&#8221;. What does it mean? I have no idea. But remember it.<\/p>\n<p>Third, go buy some patterns! <strong>Every pattern I have available on Ravelry is $2.00 off<\/strong> (except Corvus, which remains free), and even my 52 Pickup pattern book and kit are discounted. I&#8217;ve even discounted my kit&#8217;s base price $10.00 before the sale, so you&#8217;ll get a total of $12.00 off if you use the code. What&#8217;s the code? Oh right &#8212; &#8220;<strong>twoifbytree<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of notes and caveats. The &#8220;View Cart&#8221; button is only for 52 Pickup (the physical patterns I&#8217;m selling) right now. Eventually it&#8217;ll be for paper copies of my patterns and other hardcopy stuff I might print but for now it&#8217;s just a convenient thing for 52 Pickup. Any other pattern eligible for the sale is sold directly through Ravelry. Which brings me to my other note: Any pattern not sold through Ravelry is not eligible for this promotion, nor is Extreme Double-Knitting. This sale is going on through Sunday, Nov 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and I&#8217;ll be in touch again soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s officially Fall now, and a young man&#8217;s fancy turns to &#8230; well, knitting, in this case.
