A selection of my favorite sweaters and cardigans from this year's Indie Designer Gift-A-Long (= the GAL).
The one who started it all. Premier Flocon is the very first pattern I wrote and published. I think this gives him a special place in my heart. So, in this month of Socktober, I had to highlight it, especially as I'll be reworking it a little this month to bring you an updated version. Premier Flocon is the boss for October 2023. As such, you can benefit from a 15% discount on this pattern for the whole month of October 2023.
I recently discovered a passion for bird photography and realized that knitting is a hobby that can be endlessly combined with other activities, such as birdwatching. Knitting is a great way to have fun while doing something useful, creating your own bespoke wardrobe and staying warm. When I knit, I choose patterns that look complicated but are actually easy to memorize, and I take the opportunity to admire birds in their natural habitat, whether in a park or from my window. I've recently been able to observe many different species. Some of my knitted creations have even been inspired by these little birds over the years 🐤
One of the things I love most about my work as a designer is seeing YOU reinterpret my patterns. Here are a few examples to inspire you the next time you're looking for a two-tone brioche shawl pattern. -- PS: If you'd like to have your photos included in future Jolis Tricots, don't forget to share them on IG!
I'm always eager to see what a pattern knitted in a different wool and color will look like. With lace and twists all the more so this time. And I love them all! 😍 Which version is your favorite?
This is not a triangular shawl. It has no foam-stitch edging. But I love him with love. I've called it Falling Slowly and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
