fortunate fisherman
Gansey and Aran elements in tams, full-length mitts, socks,
scarves, headbands, & cowls. Cabling and knit/purl textures in
otherwise simple projects. The look is nautical, Scottish, wind
and salty air and lonely beaches. Neutral palette with wellchosen brights.
show me your fists
mini mitts! Think about thumb gussets,
cuff treatment, ruching and draping and
creating snug fit, or loose fit if it works.
Lace, cables, colorwork, closures and
lacing anb buttons. How about a zipper?
What if the palm and back-of-hand fabric
were completely different? What kind of
mini mitt would you make for a guy?
don’t call it hipster
hats with stripes, twills, plaids, herringbone, checks,
houndstooth. Tweed. Slouchy or golfy. Skull caps
or brimmed. Hatbands and earflaps. The look...don’t
call it hipster. But you know it is. All techniques
welcomed. Hats for guys, too.
spotlight on:
The Twisted Knit Stitch
Use k1tbl and p1tbl to create raised textures. Traveling
stitches make for intricate allover surfaces, while twisted rib
or spare use of the stitch make for simple dynamic elements.
Explore the stitch in hats, mitts, & socks.

Socks for a heroine
Tough and beautiful. Unusual and inspiring. Simply stunning, but not
overly intricate. Design socks or stockings for an inquisitive spirit. Cables, textures, and elements of lace all
welcome. Perhaps an interesting use of stripe or monochromatic colorwork. Footlets, legwarmers, ankle socks,
knee-highs. All heel and toe methods, but remember to keep the instructions on the simpler side. The look is
modern Pre-Raphaelite, romantic and feminine, ornamented and layered, with a story-like quality.
What’s the story behind your heroine?
the infinite loop
explore infinity scarves, cowls, and Mobius’s. To fit the theme of “infinite”,
the look will be Space and Sci-fi inspired. Sequins, metallics, planet and star
motifs, colors inspired by galaxies. Streamlined, innovative, maybe a little
“out there”.
the triangle
Shawls, shawlettes, bandannas, kerchiefs. Lace, simple textures, garter stitch, plain bodies
with decorative edgings, stripes, slip-stitch colorwork. Fring, fringe, and tassels. Get big
or go small. All gauges. The look is prairie pretty and a little tough. Try interesting yarns
with texture and tone-on-tone variegation.
