pattern designing is hard!

i know it’s obvious but… pattern designing is hard!

since january of this year, i have been working on a collaborative knitting pattern with one of my favourite indie yarn dyers EVER. i have loved every moment of it! but….. it’s been a challenge! i’ve never knit something like this before so i have no instinct for how to make it. let me tell you, it’s been a lot of trial and error!

when i started designing a few years ago, i was designing only sock patterns. by that point i had knit so many socks i could do it in my sleep! this pattern however, is different. the biggest thing i’ve learned for it so far is how to trust myself and my knitting instincts. it’s been a wonderful journey so far.

i’m so excited for it to be released into the world. in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek!
