I'm a total pattern addict – there, I admitted it! – so I could barely contain myself when this first box of pattern books arrived. I found a quiet corner and took the time to look through each book, letting the inspiration flood over me. Even better than a fabulous yarn is a fabulous designer's patterns AND a pile of yarn – I always feel like I have a personal coach helping me create something that fits me well and expresses my own style.
I'm afraid my knitting queue just got a lot longer ...
I particularly love Elsebeth Lavold's Tilia, knit in Hempathy:
And Jane Ellison's Andean-inspired coat:
I'm a huge fan of small knitted creatures, especially strange ones, so I can't decide which I like better, Hugs or Larry the Llama:
These are just the first set of pattern books to join the shop. In the near future we'll have more patterns for knitting and sewing. Suggest a favorite in the comments!
