Overflowing with Excitement!

I’m so excited this morning! My first pattern, Flying Without Wings, has just gone live on Ravelry. Officially my pattern test doesn’t finish till Friday, but six out of eight of my testers are done, and I just can’t wait any more! I’m really loving the process of designing and making my own patterns – although I really wish I had more time and hands to knit with! I’m working on my second design, but my third is already planned and I just need the time to finish number two before I can get with it and do all the maths and swatching. I really want to thank everyone who has made such helpful and supportive comments while I’ve been working on this! It means a lot to me.

  1. Oh congrats Liz! All of that hard work has really paid off! That is such a beautiful shawl (I’m not really a lace knitter but you have seriously made me want to give it a try)! I’m so excited for this new chapter in your crafting life! Congrats again!

  2. Congrats! The shawl is beautiful and has gone straight in my library 🙂 I think the new name you’ve chosen is lovely.

Yeldrin have a really fun, easy to learn lace pattern that is mirrored on either side of the sock.  You can get 25% off Yeldrin with the code YellowSale until

Sea Monster Scales

It seems I have a love for lace patterns that repeat and can be increased in size through a cowl, but that’s ok, I’m happy to own it! Stoor Worm is the third cowl pattern I’ve done in this style, joining Cashie and Lozent. Where Cashie is leaves and Lozent has a diamond pattern, Stoor Worm

Storm Bird

I have been dreaming about a pair of fingerless mitts with a feather pattern for ages. It’s taken me a little while to figure it out. I didn’t want to use cables unless it was really necessary (spoiler, Assilag uses cables) because lots of little cables can be fiddly and tedious. I tried out some

The extra long length of a striped and stranded colourwork infinity scarf wrapped three times around the neck of a mannequin.

Rings of Colour

I have had this idea for ages, for a striped cowl with a colourwork pattern at the join between the stripes. So long in fact that I picked up this yarn as a “spare” advent calendar at the end of the year. The yarn came as a gradient from white, through pink, to purple, to
