I love projects … that are relatively simple to execute, but just have that “WOW” factor!
Loved your clear instructions and the interesting design elements kept me engaged. I was so pleased with how it was turning out that I was driven to finish!!
All I can say to Holli is “Wow!!” Keep it up!
We just discovered Holli Yeoh and … we think that Holli is a brilliant designer.
What a fun and satisfying knit! … And the shoulder wrap made the sweater fit so well.

How to Swatch Smarter: A Knitting Tip from Experience
Recently, I invited my newsletter readers to tell me what they love to knit — and I was so moved by the thoughtful responses that came in. I expected to gather useful data for future patterns and classes, but what I didn’t expect was the conversations that followed.
Class
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
Bespoke Cardigan
I gave the gift of a bespoke cardigan pattern to my stepfather, Nigel. Featuring details of his choosing, I wrote a pattern for him to knit in exactly his size. Then I sized the pattern to fit 28-68″ inch/71-172.5 cm chests, and that is what is available here. Bespoke is a deliberately and thoughtfully gender- and size-inclusive design, featuring options for narrow and broad shoulders, and regular and tall lengths.

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.
