Owl obsession

Knitting
Ideas for feather motifs

Ideas for feather motifs

Well, this is bizarre. I had uploaded these images to the server on May 16 and forgot all about them. Not sure what happened, but during the night some trolls decided to mess with my server and publish a post that still didn’t exist. If it hadn’t been for Rosie’s comment, I never would have found out.

When I looked at the code that was generated without my intervention, there were a bunch of links to phishing websites. That’ll teach me to forget about the blog for months at a time. I’ll write a real post soon. Promise. Cross my heart.

Nebbia

Knitting

Nebbia is ready, both here and in my Ravelry store. As usual, an excerpt of the PDF (cover + overview page) is available on the pattern page so you can check requirements and so on.

Thank you to my friends and testers — Carolyn, Christine, Kirsi, Marielise, Simone — and to my technical editor for helping me make this pattern a much better product than it started out as.

Peggy asked if there are a lot of ends to weave in. I am happy to say that there aren’t; you carry the unused colors vertically at the beginning/end of round; see picture below.

OK, not the greatest picture, but you get the idea.

Have a great week everyone!
Ah, Kelvin thanks all his admirers. :)
