… keep up the great pattern designs! We’re fans of your work over here…

Holli is a designer who cares a lot about garment tailoring and structuring and altering and fit. That aspect of her focus comes through her work because of the details she includes and she tells people how to alter things and how to fix stuff.

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.

The lovely thing about knitting is you can always pull it out and do it again if you make a mistake. It’s very forgiving.

Thanks for taking the work out of knitting…now the fun will begin

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.
