I am now retired from knit design due to progressive arthritis and I am offering my designs to Ravelry users for free. I will not be providing designer support any longer but my patterns are tech edited and almost all have been tested.

My blanket design is a blend of yarns and cultures from Montana, where I live and South Africa. My big, bold, original cables match the feel of Montana, reflected in Mountain Colors Mountain Goat from Corvalis, Montana. This is balanced with the delicate and whimsical bead and ribbon handmade South African yarns from Be Sweet, which supports local education there.

Shown in MOUNTAIN COLORS Mountain Goat Apple Green - 9 skeins and one skein each of BE SWEET Ribbon Ball #15bR Acid Green and African Bed Ball #13bB Green Potion.

Side edges grow from picked up stitches that include both accent yarns.

Enjoy! This is my most prized knitted piece! LOVE these yarns!
