Why
Choose our Patterns?
Our Designer Series Knitting Patterns are special!
They integrate classic style with innovative stitches and up-to-date
detailing to produce high-quality, well-written knit & crochet
patterns that you will enjoy creating and wearing.
Fit
Our knitting patterns are body conscious - designed to give you supple
movement with slimming lines instead of a boxy, one-size-fits-all
style...for example, the integration of bust darts in “Dawn”
“Kassandra” and “April”, give you a better bust fit,
while a subtle underarm insert in “Lily”
gives you more freedom of movement.
Detail
It’s the little differences that make our sweaters so unique - like the special
necklines in “Kassandra” and “Joshua”,
the picot edging in “Lily”, the stylish cap
sleeves and shawl-like cardigan in the “April”
sweater set or the fun rolled hems on “Joshua,”
“Shannon,” and "Dakota".
Stitches
The combination of stitches in our knitting instructions are well-illustrated and easy
to do, and bring out the best qualities in our yarns. Combos like the sculptured
stitches in “Brayden”, the smashing cables
in “Joshua” and "Candace", the
delicate sleeves/collar in “Kassandra” and
the color/stitch combos in "Driftwood" will intrigue
you.
About
Shawls...
Shawls,
the stuff dreams are made of! Dainty, elegant, stunning, shawls add a dash
of pizzazz to any wardrobe. But shawls are practical too, they add warmth
and interest to any outfit and are a great conversation piece too.
Shawls
have been around for hundreds of years and the quality of the shawl, the
size and the quantity one possessed often marked the social status of the
wearer. Empress Josephine of France is said to own several hundred of
these luxurious lacy items.
You
probably love shawls, but are not sure what to do with them. After all it
may have been a while since you last saw someone wearing a shawl at the
grocery store.
True,
but then, a grocery store is not exactly shawl territory. Then what
is?
Think
versatile. True, any special occasion, a dinner on the town, a wedding or
an evening out can be dressed up with a shawl. But a shawl can do much
more!
Use
it as a fun cover up on the beach, shield yourself from overzealous air
conditioning vents in the office or use a shawl as a christening blanket
in a baptismal. Knitting a heavier shawl? Use it to jazz up your couch or
hide those ugly stains. Keep one in your car for those long road trips. A
shawl can go anywhere. So what about the grocery store? Sure take it.
Sling it over your shoulder and think pizzazz!
