This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.
What I like most … is the little designer details that go into them, the beautiful little touches that make them unique and a joy to knit.
This lovely pattern is awesome. The design is classic and this poncho will be a lovely addition to my wardrobe for years to come. Worth the time and fiber expenditure, …
Love all of these patterns, … you’re so good at deceptive (and really smart) simplicity!
… 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!

Teen television dramas are one of my guilty pleasures. I also love watching period dramas, in part for the costumes and the knitwear designs they inspire. Reign, a show that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots’ marriage to the Dauphin of France, offers the best of both of my TV watching passions.

The Shadow Wrap Short Row method, developed by Alice Yu of the Socktopus blog uses one of my favourite increases—the raised increase, sometimes called lifted increase. One of the reasons the raised increase is my favourite is because it’s the most invisible and that’s also why it lends itself so nicely to this short row technique.
