Testing is complete and "In a Twist" is ready for release! Simple, top-down construction and lightweight cotton/linen blend yarn give this tunic amazing drape while keeping you cool--making this the ideal, late-summer project. Loose construction and strategically placed spiral details draw the eye away from “trouble areas”. Ready to Cast On?  Grab your PDF here: 

At long last, Nerida comes to light!   "Nerida" (Greek for mermaid) is a richly textured triangle shawl knit in a beautiful new hand-dyed yarn by Alexandra's Crafts.   Variegated color-shifts and complex texture combine to create this lovely top-down shawl which features a subtle,beaded edge that not only gives weight to the body, but brings the pattern to life! This pattern is worked in one piece from the top-down and was developed for use in classes/workshops. Step-by-step instructions are provided with charts for backup.
