Sep 1 New Adventures in the Offing

We had a great crowd come out to August's Made and Found Market. The weather was perfect; warm, bright, and not too humid. I'm already looking forward to the next one. September's Made and found will be on September 22, the official first day of fall!

I've been working on a secret project, a new adventure! I've found a beautiful space to establish a brick and mortar home for A Knit Sheep. The shop will be a cozy play ground for fiber folk. I can't give an opening date yet, but it will be coming soon. Click the learn more button below, to subscribe to the list, for news and updates on the shop.

To all the Crocheters, Knitters, and Spinners: Let me know in the comments what yarns/fiber you'd like to see in a new LYS.

Knit Fold Pleat Repeat

Simple shapes are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the experienced crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the design possibilities--and new combinations that come to light once you begin--are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple rectangle, square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold, drape, or twist the shape into a garment or accessory, and to introduce pleats, welts, and slices along the way. Every pattern has a gorgeous high-fashion style, and the projects are so addictive to knit--you may find yourself making the same garment in new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each season. The book includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with variations.
