Designs & Roses: June 2015
http://katherinerollins.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Jackson Soaring Hat plus five designer years. I can't let June pass without reflecting on my designer anniversary of sorts. Five Junes ago, I was hit by an idea, knit, wrote up my first pattern and launched it on Ravelry. I had no idea what I was getting into but it was fun. Since then, I've come a long way, learned a whole lot, and happily it's still fun! Yes, it is a fuzzier version of Soaring.

Designs & Roses: Ruffled Ascot on Knit Picks
http://katherinerollins.blogspot.com/2011/04/ruffled-ascot-on-knit-picks.html
Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Friday, April 1, 2011. Ruffled Ascot on Knit Picks. When the Chroma yarn came out on Knit Picks, I had to buy skein to try it out. With all those colors, my first thought was to make something for kids. But then I looked at my mostly, navy blue, black, beige/khaki, gray wardrobe and thought grown ups need some color too. I wanted to make a witty, sophisticated, colorful one-skein accessory for busy knitters. Here is a card I...

It's a great day to talk about my new hat pattern, Soaring. I would say talk about my new hat, but the sample I made has already been gifted to my sweet mother-in-law. (Happy Mother's Day! I always wanted a hat with a little lace, but not too much, and a little slouch, but not too much. I felt like the Soaring Cowl. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Thursday, July 23, 2015. A Moment In Sock. I didn't want to let July completely pass without a hello to the blog. It has been super hot around here. Hard to knit in the heat, much less think about knits. I have been working on a new sock design though. Here is a teaser of the first sock off the needles, unblocked in fuzzy glory:. That's worked in Knit Picks Stroll, cork and pumpkin colors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Designs & Roses: Tips for working the Evening Tide Mitts

Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Monday, April 6, 2015. Tips for working the Evening Tide Mitts. I promised in the last post I would show you some of my gory working shots of making the Evening Tide Mitts. Hopefully this will help with the tricky bits. Tip 1: Thumb Placement. Tip 2: Picking Up Stitches for Thumb. With this technique I get one more stitch on the top needle than the bottom which is all good. I'm not even going to show those results! That's al...

Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Knitting Local with an Alpaca Named Jackson. Most people who know me know I love some internet-mail-order-drop-ship-the-yarny-goodness-on-my-front-doorstep businesses. Really love them. But at least once a year my family lets me out of the house to drive miles to our closest fiber fair, the Carolina Fiber Fest. This is where I can get local (within the state!

Designs & Roses: March 2015
http://katherinerollins.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Where knit designs, children's media and web pages are always works in progress. Monday, March 30, 2015. Evening Tide Mitts Pattern. My first pattern release for this year is a light pair of fingerless mitts that match the Evening Tide Scarf. My inspiration came rather accidentally. I was idly twirling my scarf around my hand and suddenly stopped to look. Oh my, I said, that would look good as a fingerless mitt! Fast forward a few months and here they are. I love to use up yarn.
