A Designer Looks Back

A Designer Looks Back

Okay, I know I’ve been looking back a lot, but hey, it’s that time of year. Here’s my review of

2016 Knitting Designs

It was a busy year in design and my biggest thrill was seeing all the projects YOU guys made. I think I’ll do another post with a slide show of some of your amazing knitting.

You can find more details about every sweater on my Ravelry design page. This year saw a new love affair with drop stitch patterns, slip stitch, fair isle and a continuing love affair with cables.

Here’s a slide show of some of the designs that came out in 2016.

There’s a LOT coming in 2017 including my next Knit-along on my Ravelry group.

Here’s a sneak peek at Tortola! It’s going on sale in January and we cast on in Feb! Don’t miss out.
