Indie Designer Gift-A-Long 2023

It’s the sparkliest time of the year: the Indie Design Gift-A-Long on Ravelry started yesterday evening and I’m one of 262 participating indie designers this year! 🎉

Little details

For this first cardigan pattern, I chose a very simple base. As with all my favorite sweaters and cardigans, here it’s all about the little details: the folded collar for a snug fit, the tubular bind-off to keep the ribbing edge clean and elastic … and the little extra pocket(s) that can be embroidered.

Ball Winder Apology

When I’m asked which is more useful, I usually reply: the ball winder. I know it’s often advisable to buy a swift before you have a ball winder. But for me, the opposite is more practical.

One stitch at a time: October 2023

My life as a designer, one stitch at a time 🧶🐑🐤
The most-read posts of the month, my reading of the moment, and a behind-the-scenes look at what’s coming soon.

Surprise knitting

I promise, knitting is not a criterion when I choose books for my little chick! However, we did get some nice surprises when we opened some of the books, with a bit of knitting hidden here and there. Always gentle and full of kindness, no cliché of the bitter old grandmother knitting a scarf full of holes, thankfully!

All-in-ones

I don’t have many baking tin in my cupboards because I like all-in-one ones. A bit like the interchangeable circular needles that can be used for knitting in the round, flat knitting, putting on hold, provisionnal cast-on, can be disassembled and reassembled as needed, and some have little holes for threading a life-line through. Handy all-in-ones, aren’t they?

Revelations

It doesn’t sound like it because I’ve been talking about it for a long time now, but I’ve been upset with brioche for a long time. I had resigned myself to the fact that brioche was just something I ate. But everything changed the day I realized these two things.
