What a fun and satisfying knit! … And the shoulder wrap made the sweater fit so well.
Holli Yeoh (is) an inclusive and thoughtful knitting designer and instructor with over 20 years in the trenches.
One of the great things about Holli is her ability and willingness to use different techniques in her work. If you’re willing to learn, the result is a better finished item and an increase in knitter knowledge.
I’m always impressed with your talent of interpreting the act of knitting and in the translation making it so accessible to so many.
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.

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.

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.

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.
