That’s what I like about your sweaters. They are interesting both from the front and the back.
I love your patterns! They are so much fun and unique. I learn a new technic every time I knit one of your patterns.
Holli, I absolutely loved testing your pattern and knitting this sample for Knit Picks. This pullover and your Five Point Bomber are two of my all-time favorite adventures in test knitting. Loved working with you!
Holli is a wonderful designer, and her design sensibility reflects a remarkable balance: her pieces are beautiful but entirely wearable, interesting in construction and technique, but entirely knittable. It’s not easy to do, and Holli is a master of this.
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.

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.
