Exciting news, plus some miscellaneous stuff
The thing most on my mind this morning is that my next Patreon goal was reached last night, and this means that I will be turning two words suggested by my Patreon supporters into knitting stitches each month! I am very excited and pleased about that.
My original blog post for today is below.
I’ve started practicing knitting brioche – the kind with the slipped stitches and the YOs; I had previously knit some of the kind with knit one below. I’m including my swatch because it’s got a goofy edge and some other mistakes (I need to look up some selvedge advice), and I’m happy with that. It’s part of the learning process and I’m having fun.
Finally here are two older posts of mine that I am fond of, having to do with making coordinating stitch patterns from an existing larger one:
The first of those is, in my opinion, an accessible method for any lace knitter, whether or not you think you can design things.
Congratulations!
I thought the flow and edges of Unicorn were lovely – is there some Hitomi Shida influence there?
Not conscious influence, but everything feeds my creativity in one way or another. Flow has always been something I’ve worked hard to make happen.
