The collection has 13 Fair Isle (stranded) patterns including 6 stunning sweaters, 3 colorful hat sets, 3 fun pillows and even a set of sachets!  The collection is available in printed soft cover, as a downloadable eBook, or each pattern individually, all through the Knit Picks website.

I have found a new love in stranding.  Because you never use more than 2 different colors on any one row, it’s easier than it looks.  It keeps you wanting to knit just one more row.

Two different color charts are included with Fair Isle Earflap Hat & Cowl for variety.  Worked in worsted weight yarn, they knit up quickly.

Gabrielle Cloche — in Time for the Holidays

What is more personal than a handmade gift?!  Just in time for the holidays, Knit Picks has released my latest pattern, the Gabrielle Cloche.  It can also be purchase through my Etsy shop or my Craftsy shop.  This Art Deco-inspired design is worked in-the-round from the bottom up.  It begins with a simple, lace motif and finishes with a star pattern at the crown.  The pattern has both an easy-to-read chart and written instructions for the lace motif.  Three sizes are included:  S, M & L (head circumference of 19.5, 22 & 24.5 inches/ 49.5, 56 & 62 cm)

Knit Picks Galileo is their gorgeous, new sport yarn with 50% Merino Wool and 50% Viscose from Bamboo.  It is silky soft, has a lovely sheen and comes in such rich, lusterous colors.  Galileo is a delight to work with and has excellent stitch definition.  It produces a luxurious cloche that will be sure to become a favorite, stylish accessory.

Thanks to my beautiful model for making the cloche look so good!
