Success!

The crowdfunding experiment for the 'Between the Dragon and His Wrap' pattern was a success - the campaign received 150% of its required funding! This is very thrilling and I'm so grateful to everyone who backed the project. It also means that I'm very likely to do this again with future design ideas!

Note: I've sent out thank you emails to all the backers of the campaign. If you are a backer, but haven't received an email, please check your spam folder!

What's next? Well, I'll now get to work writing up the pattern, getting it tech edited, buying the yarn, making the sample for photography, running a test knit, and finalizing the pattern. I estimate that the pattern will probably be able to go live in August, 2022, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Of course I'll be communicating with the campaign backers if there are any changes to the expected schedule. 

I am looking for two testers for this pattern, and would love to hear from interested knitters! Please contact me to indicate your interest. Be sure to include information about your experience (if any) with test knitting, and with stranded knitting projects.

New pattern: Minerva Shawl

Very pleased to announce the release of a new lace shawl pattern!

 

"Minerva" is worked all in one piece, border and body together, from the tip out. This was done on purpose to maximize yardage usage - there's information in the pattern about resizing if you want to use less or more yardage than the pattern calls for. But if you've got two 100g skeins of worsted weight in your stash right now, you should be good to go!

This pattern came about because I wanted to make a holiday gift for my middle daughter's grade seven teacher: an elegant woman who looks great in strong colours and who, I was told, loves owls. I had some worsted weight in my stashed in a colour that really suited her, so I designed this shawl to use up as much of its yardage as possible. 

It's $4.99US, but if you buy it on Ravelry in the first week (i.e. until the end of May 16, ET), you'll get an automatic 10% off!
