This is a very clearly written pattern and it was a pleasure to knit!
… when I heard that Felicia Lo (yarn mastermind at SweetGeorgia) and Holli Yeoh (designer of deliciously modern knitting patterns) were teaming up to create a book of patterns for SweetGeorgia yarns, I expected grand things. And, now that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Tempest in person, I can happily say it’s even more delightful than I expected!
Great pattern … that is fun and easy to make. Have already purchased yarn for 2 more and have inspired others in my knitting group to make it, too.
… the patterns are very clear and spell out specific techniques for things like decreasing etc. when they are important for the appearance of the project. Gotta love that!
I’m always impressed with your talent of interpreting the act of knitting and in the translation making it so accessible to so many.

Guess Who?
Wild fingers, bright colours, long life – who wouldn’t want to wear these great gloves? They have a unique construction that creates a very long life line as part of the thumb gusset.
Make a pair for your kids, your grandkids or yourself. Knit every finger a different colour if you want. Self-patterning or hand-painted yarns paired with a contrasting solid or semi-solid look great. How can you resist?

Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing
This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.
And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
