One of the great things about Holli is her ability and willingness to use different techniques in her work. If you’re willing to learn, the result is a better finished item and an increase in knitter knowledge.
I’m always impressed with your talent of interpreting the act of knitting and in the translation making it so accessible to so many.
It really is a cute little kid’s knit and Erika is wearing it again today. That’s 3 times this week. That’s already more than some sweaters have ever been worn.
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.
You have an intuitive way of presenting the directions and I’m sure everyone who knits your patterns appreciates that a great deal.

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
Old Norwegian Cast On
Also called German Twisted Cast On, this method is based on the Long Tail Cast On and is a great stretchy cast on to have in your repertoire. This is my favourite cast on for cuff down socks.
