e-book The Knit Season


The Book Project started in Spring 2013 when I attended class named "The Book" . We were to create a book as our long term assignment for this particular class. Somehow I managed to convince my professor to let me work on a book of knitting patterns rather than a book of fiction as everyone else in the class, and when the class ended I had over 100 pages f written material and many more ideas. I thought it would be waste of my time and work not to do anything with the material, and I  submitted the book proposal to several publishing houses. One of the publisher suggested to send the proposal to a yarn company, and I did. The Cascade Yarn Company saw potential in my submitted book proposal and offered to provide yarn support.
In March 2014 I have received this enormous box filled with wonderful yarn from Cascade Yarn Company.

The Book Project
I had to start all over again, and rewrite and reknit everything, using the yarn from this box. It was a long and interesting journey. In September 2014 I have posted about "The Book Project"  in my group on Ravelry and several people offered to help by being the test knitters.
Test knitter receive the pattern and follows the instructions expecting that the finished object will resemble the original sample in size, and appearance. In return for their work, they have an early access to new patterns, and receive the final pattern as well. In this case they have received the complete e-book filled with 31 knitting patterns.

The Knit Season
The Knit Season is filled with 31 knitting patterns divided into 5 sections inspired by seasons and the colors I have associated with that particular season.
You may purchase the entire e-book by clicking on this button or in my Ravelry store.



Each pattern is available individually as well, and some of the individual patterns are free.

Knittin Pattern for Petal, the Flying Pig


Petal, the Flying Pig was my January mystery toy KAL in my group on Ravelry.
I was inspired by pink colors and the words "when the pig will fly" and "pig in a blanket". While this Mystery KAL is over, I am working on the next Mystery KAL toy. Those who like Mystery KAL have a new one coming soon in my group, and those who like Petal, can purchase the pattern by clicking on this button



or in my store in Ravelry.

Knitting Pattern for Queen of Hearts


Every once in a while I get to work with new (to me) yarn. For this dishcloth pattern I have used KnitPicks Shine Worsted Yarn (60% Pima Cotton and 40% Modal, natural beech wood fiber).
I loved the way the yarn felt in my hands  and how easily I could work with it.

In time for the day when love is in the air my pattern is available to download for free on Knitpicks website:

Have fun knitting.
