It’s finished… (It has 4 corners)
Thanks for all the comments on yesterday’s post, and apologies for the flaw in my system – I forgot that comments would go into a queue for moderation and not show up overnight….. The Knitcircus Collection has been sent out to the first ten. Here are some swatches of the pattern in different colours: The [...]

I have a new pattern in the Knitcircus Summer pattern collection, which is coming out tomorrow. It’s a striped rectangle called Mughal shawl, vaguely based on textile patterns from miniature paintings. If you’d like a copy of the Knitcircus pattern collection, please say so in the comments! – I will have 10 complimentary copies to [...]
Hit and Miss

Some patterns take off and some don’t. This one does not seem to have captured the public’s imagination, although it seemed to be quite an interesting idea, and potentially an interesting project. It started off with an unused swatch for Cold Mountain. Then I played around with chopped up sections of photos of CM in [...]

It was called Stranded Triangle – it’s quite an irregular triangle – the yarn is Rowan Pure Wool 4ply, on 3.25mm needles. It was too small, there were too many increases in the striped stranding at [...]
Echo Beach Variation

This is the variation of Echo Beach (with one dropped stitch instead of two), beautifully test knit by Teilzeitheldin with one skein of Wollmeise 100% Merino Superwash in the Uluru colourway. When I was in Munich I was tempted to jump on a train to Pfaffenhofen to visit the Wollmeise shop, but it seems to [...]
Thoughts on Blogging
Posted in design, knit, wip, yarn on March 12, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Thank you to everybody who commented on the last post! I’m beginning to get a feel for what readers of a knitlab blog might be looking for. The most clicked-on picture so far is the one of the little wool shop in Salzburg, which looks like a Chapel of colour or a brightly insulated train [...]
