The Rise Up 2021 Collection

Happy New Year!!

I’m super-excited to be part of a wonderful collaboration of seven designers. The Rise Up 2021 Collection is a collection of seven patterns, with release dates of January 5, 12, 19, 26, and February 2, 2021. We started with a concept, a set of colors, and a group of stitch patterns. It was great fun to see how we each interpreted the same inspiration.

My pattern, Garden Cowl, is a big, bold, bright and colorful colorwork cowl, worked in the round in worsted weight yarn. It very easily can be a stash buster, or mostly a stash buster, as 4 of the 6 colors require only about 75 yards of yarn. The picture below is a sneak peek of the cowl worn doubled. I’m so very happy with this design. It’s fun to make and fun to wear. I will be able to show you the whole design in a few weeks…
