slowly


Look, there's something new on the sidebar.

It has taken me one whole year to design, knit, write, edit and design a layout for my first pattern. Slowly the good things come, I hope. I loved every single phase in this process. The actual writing was unexpectedly hard for me - finding the right conventions, using the right words, making it clear and getting all the numbers right. But I loved it so much.

What's even better is seeing the finished test knitting pieces. From my pattern. My design. Oh, the feeling when I saw the first. It was hard to believe my eyes, the pullover was gorgeous! All the work really has been worth it.

Thank you dear test knitters for making this possible!

I hope you enjoy the pattern.

  7. Hii Veera,
    Congratulations ! I can imagine how tricky it can be to write an entire pattern, and how delightful it is to see it knitted !
    And this pull-over is really nice, by the way.

  21. Löysin blogisi juuri ja kylläpä sinulla onkin kauniita ja kivoja neuleita! Ja kauniisti kuvattuina. Kiitokset tästä ohjeesta ja odottelen kiinnostuneena myös Modern Gardenin ohjetta. Olisi paksua lankaa odottelemassa "vinkeää" neuletta ja mallisi näytti juuri sellaiselta.

    Thank you for a beautiful pattern that I am attempting to make! I do have a question. I am at the part right before "Buttonhole bands". Do I cast off before this step? Also, I cast off right before it said "Knit the left back similar to the right . . ." even though your pattern didn't say to. I hope this was right? (I am still pretty new to knitting.)
