Holli’s knitters love her patterns because they’re used to seeing that kind of information and that level of detail in the patterns that she writes.
We just discovered Holli Yeoh and … we think that Holli is a brilliant designer.
The garments all manage that magical casually elegant vibe. They are the sort of pieces you can imagine wearing just about anywhere, which means you’ll wear them everywhere.
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.
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.

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.

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
Beaconsfield Shawl
Diamonds peppered with lace give the effect of cut crystal. This is the perfect shawl for an elegant evening out, yet will still make you feel glamorous paired with a summery sundress, or a casual pair of jeans and your favorite t-shirt.

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.
