Honors Geometry Cowl - A new Knitting Pattern with a Cyber Monday Deal!

Happy Cyber Monday! 

 

I'm celebrating with the (long-time-coming) release of my new pattern: Honors Geometry. 

You may recognize this as the cowl I made for Andi in October. I decided to make this pattern a bit fancier than my last three cowl patterns and enlist the skills of a graphic designer, otherwise known as Meghan Canavan, otherwise known as my sister. So I hope you enjoy the fancy new pattern template she designed!

Now on to the details:

Honors Geometry Cowl

"I love the combination of color blocking and geometric 
patterns all over the runway lately, and wanted to put it on something hand knit! This winter, wrap your neck and shoulders in a huge, double knit cowl. Honors Geometry is a slouchy, triangle-patterned cowl that doubles as a wrap. If you’re new to double knitting, there’s a great 
tutorial on Knit Picks."

Gauge: 17 stitches and 20 rows = 4” Stocking Stitch

Needles: Size 10.5 (6.5mm)

Yarn: Caron Vicky Howell Sheep(ish) one skein of each: Gun Metal(ish) (C1), Teal(ish) (C2), Turquoise(ish)(C3), Lime(ish)(C4)

Notions: Tapestry Needle, Stitch Marker

I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "Katie, that's a pretty pattern and all, but what makes this Cyber Monday-y?" 

In celebration of the release of Honors Geometry, and Cyber Monday, all cowl patterns in my Ravelry Store are 50% off. That means they are each a mere dollar for the next 24 hours. Just add the patterns to your cart and the discount will show up during checkout!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Now let's get on with the Holiday Knitting! 

Cowls on Knit Picks, Wheeee!

Gettin' chilly*? My cowl patterns are the perfect one-skein knit for fall! 

Chevron Sunshine Cowl, Tiny Cables Cowl, and Basketweave Neckerchief are all available on Knit Picks Independent Design Program! Each is knit with one skein of Knit Picks Gloss Fingering and size 6 needles. 

*Full disclosure: I'm not actually chilly. These photos of me in a jacket were taken in doors with the air conditioning on. It's still about 95 degrees in Southern California. :(

New W+S Pattern: Chevron Sunshine Cowl

The Chevron Sunshine Cowl is the third of three patterns designed especially for TEA+WOOL, the tea-dyed yarn I created for WORK+SHELTER. It’s knit flat with an eyelet chevron pattern, and then seamed to create a cowl shape. It can be worn loose, or doubled up for extra warmth.

A few months ago, Allyson Dykhuizen invited me to work on a new yarn-dying project for WORK+SHELTER, called TEA + WOOL. This 100% wool yarn was dyed with Indian teas, and is available in our Etsy shop, with all proceeds going to WORK+SHELTER.

I’ve designed a few accessories especially for TEA + WOOL. The Chevron Sunshine Cowl is one of those accessories! By purchasing this pattern you are helping this amazing cause. Read more about this project here, donate by emailing Theresa, and when someone compliments you on your beautiful new cowl, be sure to tell them about WORK+SHELTER.

WORK+SHELTER is a new foundation started by Allyson’s friend, Theresa VanderMeer. WORK+SHELTER offers women living in the slums of New Delhi a fresh start. Theresa is working to give these women decent living conditions and a chance to build a better future. WORK+SHELTER will be a safe place where women can come with their children to live and work. She will be providing training, materials, and a fair wage, and members of WORK+SHELTER will be producing products to be sold in boutiques around the world.
