What Knitters Are Saying...

"Devan is a well-written pattern, and it's a brilliant use of self-patterning sock yarn." ~ Ann, much a do about knitting

"Next time I make this sweater (and oh, yes, there will be a next time) I'll make the roll edges." ~ Theresa Vinson Stenersen, Bagatell: Knitting in Norway

"...this design is a clever use of the self-patterning sock yarns."
~ Melissa, Loose Ends Knits Blog

"I love how small it is, but how grown up it looks. Fabulous."
~ Rachael in the comments of much ado about knitting blog

"Yes, I did see the sweater sample at Gina Browns. You must do a whole slew of samples - most amazing service!" ~ Barb , Alberta

"Devan is an easy pattern to follow and very well written. I appreciate Holli Yeoh 's attention to detail. The two sides are mirror images of each other, down to the cast-on and the row where you start using the patterning yarn. Those little details make a big difference overall. Even if the recipient has no idea why the finished project is so nice, I know why it's so nice."
~ KeLee, Knitting Princess Warrior

"Cute pattern. Really a cute little sweater." ~ Karen, beatknits blog

"I wanted to let everyone know this pattern works really well and was easy to follow. I printed it out a couple of weeks and tried it with some regia from my stash and it looks so so so good. I can't begin to tell you how many comments I get everytime I go out with my little boy wearing it!"
~ Lisa on Angel Yarns Knitting Forums UK

"You are an awesome designer. Thanks so much for working so hard for us. I've knit a number of your sweaters and find they always turn out and look wonderful." ~ Barb, Alberta

~ Uli, Uli's Creative Corner

"All I can say to Holli is "Wow!!" Keep it up!" ~ Sue F.

"I should say, your pattern is one of the clearest, most well-considered and most error-free I have worked with yet." ~ Mandy Moore, yarnageddon.com, technical editor, Knitty.com magazine

"I have just recently finished "Devan" . and just had to write to tell you how happy I was with the finished project, and how much I enjoyed knitting your design. In fact today I made a special trip to Knitopia in White Rock to buy 2 more of your designs, "Chloe", and "JoJo"! "Devan" was a baby shower gift for a new little boy, and it was a huge hit at his shower this afternoon, I love projects like that, that are relatively simple to execute, but just have that "WOW" factor!  Thanks again for such a great design Holli!"
~ Audrey T, BC

"I do like the "drunken argyle" vest, I'm partial to cute Asian guys, but even trying to ignore the model, I still get a kick out of the twisted diamond pattern." ~ obscureknitty.blog-city.com

"I find Drunken argyle absolutely ingenious." ~ Der kleine Sockhaus, Der kleine Sockhaus

"I just finished knitting your Avery sweater, and I must tell you that not only did it turn out to wonderfully, but it was a joy to knit. Your instructions were so well written, they were a pleasure to follow. I always do a three needle bind off, but rarely is this written into the pattern. I can't wait to try your other patterns. Thank you for providing me with such a satisfying experience."
