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.
It is my first knitting project and I have to thank Holli for making the pattern easy to follow and such fun to complete …
I just want to say what a GREAT teacher you are. You really are fabulous.
Holli is a great teacher and has a very friendly personality. I’ll look for her classes again next year. Thank you Holli ~ I so enjoyed meeting you.
This was such a fun pattern to knit Holli, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed knitting one of your well written patterns.

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.
Tutorial
Old Norwegian Cast On
Also called German Twisted Cast On, this method is based on the Long Tail Cast On and is a great stretchy cast on to have in your repertoire. This is my favourite cast on for cuff down socks.
