It’s been a productive summer this year – I’ve finished lots of projects and started many more. Two companies have given my yarn support, which makes a huge difference to what I can design and make, so my thanks to King Cole Yarn and Cascade Yarns. I rarely design ‘in advance’ of a season or theme – don’t look to me for creating anything in July for a Christmas gift, for example. However, this year, I have been working with aran yarn to create some really warm projects – nothing quite like working with a large wool aran draped over your knees on the hottest day of the year so far. It does mean that, for the first time, I can release a ‘winter’ project in September. Introducing the Ivelisse Ruana, a Tunisian crochet pattern, now available in Etsy, LoveCrafts and in Ravelry
