I love so many of the patterns that are featured on your website.
First of all let me say how much I love your … patterns! I have always enjoyed the self-patterning yarn and knitted various small sweaters and hats, but your little sweaters are so well suited to the self-patterning yarn. They are delightful patterns.
Your patterns are always written well and easy to understand and to follow — not an easy task in an industry with little or no standards to follow.
I can tell its gonna be an amazing fit. I have contacted the designer twice with questions and she has been so helpful!
I just want to say what a GREAT teacher you are. You really are fabulous.

Inspiration for Philodendron
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.

Knitting Under the Sea
Get ready to dive deep into the ocean without getting wet! This virtual weekend of “Knitting Under the Sea” will be a fun-filled voyage where you’ll master mermaid-worthy stitches, craft a tiny crab, learn about kelp forests from an emerging expert, and prepare blackened fish tacos.
My session is Go Fish Duplicate Stitch Party!
Pattern
5 Point Bomber
The 5 Point Bomber features bold colour blocking and narrow stripes, which are inspired by Canada’s iconic Hudson Bay Company blankets. The wide contrast waist slides perfectly into a kangaroo pouch pocket, adding a flattering visual effect.

Shadow Wrap Short Rows
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.
