Everyone already knows about Twist Collective, right? It’s going live tomorrow and I’m very excited as I’ve got a pattern (well, two in one) in it.

It was a great experience working with Julia and Kate and everyone else, and I’m thrilled with how the pattern came out. If my finished pattern is any indication of the rest of the magazine, which I’m sure it is, we can expect a lushly photographed magazine full of gorgeous creations with very thorough and clear instructions.

My pattern is pretty much what you can always expect from me: something that’s got a traditional inspiration with a decidedly modern *something*. And it’s colorwork. :)

You can Ravel them, already, though there won’t be photos until the magazine is unveiled:

Faux Bois Mittens
Faux Bois Scarf

They’ll be available tomorrow at Twist Collective.

The pattern is now available as a PDF for $5.95 through Ravelry. Here’s all the pattern info and a purchase link. I accept PayPal and credit cards through my usual PayPal. The pattern isn’t for sale through the Hello Yarn shopping cart because that charges shipping and we don’t want that!

Thanks, everyone! Let me know if you have any questions that aren’t addressed on the info page.

ETA: I’ll still be doing kits for these. I’ve been worrying on re-dyeing the green colorway from the great disaster, when the cart sold way more kits than I had. Those will ship this week, along with the fiber club, and then it will be back to business as usual, with actual yarn for sale, and hand-dyed fiber, and more mitten kits. Thanks!

ETA 2: I’m all set up on Ravelry. Ravellers and non-Ravellers alike can purchase through Ravelry. This service is still in the testing phase, so let me know if it gives you any guff (it shouldn’t). Thanks!

I’ll be at SPA in Freeport, Maine this weekend. If you’re going, I’ll see you there! I won’t be vending, just playing, but I’ll be hanging around with Amy Boogie. She’s vending. I’m the one in overalls and lime green and orange glasses. She’s the “tattooed goober”, to quote her. Say hi! :)

The Fiddlehead Mittens pattern testing has been going well.

Test knit in Rowan Scottish (Harris) Tweed DK by Stacie. Lining is Blue Sky Alpacas Brushed Suri (hubba hubba).

Made by Julia from Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light with a Rowan Kidsilk Haze lining.

Stacie caught a mistake. On page 2, in the LINING section, it should read:

Begin decreasing for top of mitten.
*K4, K2TOG* around, K3, K2TOG.
Knit 3 rounds plain.

I’ll put this on the mitten kit shop page and on the patterns page.

See more photos here.

The pattern is coming very soon!
