A new pattern coming soon called Donnie at the Duck Pond, inspired by Donnie’s plunges and the shadows, ripples and color combinations of the pond:
The pattern uses clustered increases and stacked decreases, and is knit with Zauberball Crazy, in five botanical colorways created by Schoppel Wolle inspired by my color suggestions.

It’s called Botanical Alchemy to celebrate the magic and mystery of the natural dyeing tradition.
There’s a variation in Crazy Zauberball:
I’ve been to Greece:
And on a few trips in Ireland:
