One of the reasons I love working with Holli is because her patterns are beautiful.
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.
All I can say to Holli is “Wow!!” Keep it up!
You are an awesome designer. Thanks so much for working so hard for us. I’ve knit a number of your sweaters and find they always turn out and look wonderful.
You’re very humbling, because I thought I knew about all there was to know about knitting. But I’m enjoying the challenge.

Inspiration for Philodendron
Teen television dramas are one of my guilty pleasures. I also love watching period dramas, in part for the costumes and the knitwear designs they inspire. Reign, a show that focuses on Mary, Queen of Scots’ marriage to the Dauphin of France, offers the best of both of my TV watching passions.
Class
Knitting Under the Sea
Get ready to dive deep into the ocean without getting wet! This virtual weekend of “Knitting Under the Sea” will be a fun-filled voyage where you’ll master mermaid-worthy stitches, craft a tiny crab, learn about kelp forests from an emerging expert, and prepare blackened fish tacos.
My session is Go Fish Duplicate Stitch Party!
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.
