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 have made several of your patterns, and love them!
The pattern is so well written and with so many lovely finishing details, it was a pleasure to make. I was stopped many times in the street to ask where I had bought the sweater.
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.
You’re very humbling, because I thought I knew about all there was to know about knitting. But I’m enjoying the challenge.

Pattern
Continuation Blanket
Just three colours yield seven distinct blended hues in this simple but effective gradient blanket. Working up fast with chunky needles, it makes a great baby gift; and in a cozy washable wool blend, it will last long enough to be passed down to the next baby.
The Continuation Blanket is a great canvas to display your LGBTQ+ pride. Included are 16 pride flag colourways with yarn suggestions and a colouring page to plan your own unique blanket.
Tutorial
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.
