Pattern Release: Summer Cherries Shawl

It’s been longer than I planned, but now the Summer Cherries Shawl is up for public sale! This shawl commemorates one of my favorite things about summer—cherries!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes….

Yikes have I been busy! I’ve been working on a bunch of stuff I’m really excited about and it’s about time I told you. As you know, before Twist & Knit, I was releasing patterns one at a time, as they happened to fall out of my head, or as soon as they were done […]

Jiggity Jig

Thanks everyone for the love about Knitscene 🙂 It was a lot of fun to write and hopefully it won’t be the last article I write. I got home Wednesday from attending Cat Bordhi’s visionary retreat, which is a juried retreat for self-publishing authors where we can learn skills that we’ll need to write our […]
