In July of 2022, I took down all my patterns. A tiny handful are destined to return, most are not.
I’m still releasing new patterns (along with other fun projects). I just want to focus my time and energy on making new things rather than on maintaining a back catalog of hundreds of older patterns. But there are lots of new things planned, and I’m excited to share them with you!
If you want to follow along with what comes next or read a little more about why I made this change (and the nifty things that happened along the way), you can do that here.
And don’t worry, if you had the pattern in your ravelry library before it went away, it will still be there. It’s always a good idea to keep backups on your own computer (websites don’t last forever), but nothing I can do can take anything out of your library (and I wouldn’t even if I could). Taking the patterns down just means no on else can buy them.
Curls are marvelously flexible, wearable wraps that work with any weight of yarn, can be knit at any gauge, and look beautiful at any size.
Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you’ve got a shawl. They form a wonderfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders and can be worn in lots of different ways.
Use your favorite yarn, and knit at whatever gauge gives you the fabric you like best. You’re in charge, you can’t mess it up, and you’re going to love the result!
One small note, the structure of these pieces lends itself much better to charted instructions than to written out instructions. So please be aware that all the patterns use charts. If you’re new to charts, never fear. There is a lovely introduction to using charts at the front of the book. Read through it, and you’ll be ready to go in no time!
