July greetings! Hollywood and Vine is ready for testing! Hollywood and Vine is created through cables, twisted stitches, leaves, and a lifted yarnover knot stitch. It is elegant, light, and warm, and it is large enough to use as a wrap or even as a lap blanket. I would say that it is likely my most advanced pattern to date. The knitted-on border is what bumps it up to advanced, and it definitely can be made without that border.
Ha! If you are still interested in testing it, please go to the Hollywood and Vine test on Yarnpond to learn more or to sign up. Thank you!!
Hollywood and Vine will be available as part of the Technicolor: Main Event indie designer collection later this year. As with our other collaborations, individual patterns will be available sometime after the entire collection has been published.
Shearwater Sweater will be finished with test knitting soon. I can’t wait to announce its publishing!
This hem makes me very happy.
While I have been struggling with the 2023 pumpkin design, although I think I’m gaining on it, I found this gorgeous yarn yesterday at our local yarn shop, Wild Knits Salem. I believe it wants to become a cowl that can be made in either of these weights of yarn – using some of the stitches from Hollywood and Vine.
The super bulky is Malabrigo Noventa in Flor de Jade and the DK/Sport is their Susurro in Cian. I’m very tempted to cast on even though I know I should be working on the pumpkin that is eluding me!!
If you are interested in test knitting Hollywood and Vine, please do let me know or please sign up for the Hollywood and Vine Test on Yarnpond. Thank you for reading, for encouraging me on my designing journey, and for spending part of your day with me here.
