It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.

My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.

Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!

Vivace sweeps full across the back, airy and feminine, bright and refreshing - like the notes that make your hips sway. Go ahead and twirl, too, as the natural scallops created by the cables bring spirit to this delicate shawl.
