woolly snowman knit-a-long

woolly snowman

To help celebrate Woolly Snowman 2013, the 10-year anniversary of my Woolly Snowman pattern, I am conducting a KAL (knit-a-long).

I have bought my yarn and am ready to begin knitting today. On my Ravelry group, that's woolly something, I will share the details and tips along the way. Come join my group to stay in touch!

First off, I will be knitting my Woolly Snowbaby pattern but changing it out slightly. That is, I am going to make a large snowbaby using two strands of worsted and one strand of Frog Tree sport weight all carried together. I will use size 13 dps, rather than size 8. We'll see what the end result will be.

I am experimenting on the snowbaby because I am curious how the felting will turn out. I want to try it on the tall snowman pattern to create a LARGE one, door stopper-size. I will post plenty of photos along the way.

Happy knitting!

pdf-style patterns!

I am now starting to offer pdf-style patterns available on my Etsy shoppe. Soon, all of my patterns, except for the nest ornament kit, will be available both in booklet and pdf formats. I personally love the booklet format and the feel of a printed pattern in my hands. But not everyone is like me, thank goodness!

Many customers have contacted me over this past year, putting in their requests for a pdf-style pattern. I have listened, believe it or not! and they are now available. I am still formatting a few others but soon all of my patterns will be available PDF-style.

I will have all them available for sale on Ravelry soon as well. Stay tuned!
