Inspiration:

One of the joys of having indie designers as friends is you get to see incredible fashion creations, both in hand knits and in textiles. Jill Wolcott shared this photo of her shawl with the group and I knew that we’d found this collection’s inspiration.

Though a woven textile, my brain jumped to, “oh, how can I created this intricate attached and separate type of design with yarn and needles?”

After a few rounds of discussion and another inspiring photograph (that you’ll read about in Attached and Apart: main Course) we’d chosen the four stitch patterns to work with. Each of us must include at least one of the chosen patterns.

As these projects hit your knitting needles, we hope the same sense of adventure and creation accompanies your projects as it did ours.

Happy knitting!
