What a lovely thing to knit during a weekend in autumn...a basic two-colored stranded mitten pattern like SACKETS HARBOR. And Sackets is this week's FREE BONUS pattern!⁠

⁠
During my summer sojourns, Sacket’s Harbor is the first signpost once I’ve left the interstate. It’s a quiet gem, the first leg of the Seaway Trail, and offers gorgeous, cool Lake Ontario vistas. It has a slightly retro vibe with roadside bars and cafes closed years ago by the building of I-81. I love it, and I often fantasize about how it must look in the off-season, foggy and damp with big fat snowflakes falling on icy waters. That’s my inspiration for the Sackets Harbor Hat and the matching Sackets Harbor Mittens.⁠
⁠
These mittens, suitable for men and women, are a simple stranded knitting project perfect for the first-time fair isle knitter.

Light & airy Lucca is in the Spotlight this week!⁠

⁠
Lucca is inspired by the cerebral, reasoned aspects of Florence that make the city sublime. Lucca’s form is subtle and authentic, yet panels of directional texture are measured and mathematical. The result is an airy, rather delicate fabric, clean, quiet and cultivated. ⁠
⁠
Classic herringbone is suggested in this rhythmic twisted stitch pattern; it is graceful in appearance and absolutely addictive to knit. Lucca is the simplest of shapes, a classic square, and uses drop shoulder shaping so as not to disrupt the flow of pattern. Deep 1 by 1 ribbing accents all edges. Oh! And Lucca’s length is easy to customize, too!⁠
⁠
I knitted this sample in the springtime and it was my constant companion. I took it EVERYWHERE with me. I knit most of it at JazzFest. A couple of weeks later, I took it to the beach! When I blocked it, I actually found white sand in the water! It was so much fun and so intuitive, I felt I knit half of it in my sleep.⁠

What a statement a big, bold cable can make! In the Olivia Sweater, a jumbo triple ribbed cable is deeply etched into a field of stockinette tracing a serpentine path from neck to hem. This week, take 25% off the OLIVIA pattern in my Ravelry shop, no code required.⁠

This strong central motif plays off against a completely clean backdrop of flat stitches where seamless yoke shaping is worked silently in.⁠
I’m very fond of the simple, stealthy look of shaping stitches and the motifs created by their almost accidental movement. I especially enjoy the pattern inherent in seamless yoke shaping. It’s amazing how the rhythm of shaping patterns can be manipulated simply by adjusting the type and position of increase/decrease stitches.⁠
As cables go, this deceptively simple large scale twist is a doozy. It was developed by Norah Gaughan in her book “Knitted Cable Sourcebook”. Though it appears to be a single, giant cable, it actually involves a combination of smaller crosses. I found it really exciting to knit and particularly like the very high relief with which the cabled stitches stand proud of the reverse stockinette backdrop.⁠

Today's Pick: EARLY CROCUS⁠
Click the link in bio for details!⁠
⁠
Lined with rows of delicate eyelet flowers, this simple triangular shawl is an easy spring accessory and a beautiful transitional knit. A border of drop stitch ribbing topped with a few rows of simple garter traces its way around the V-shaped edge, promising a delightfully meditative project. Early Crocus is a pleasant knit aimed at those who are new to shawl knitting. A combination of basic techniques along with classic shaping make a perfect first shawl project that invites interesting color and fiber choices.⁠
⁠
⁠
There is something so soothing and intuitive about knitting a triangular shawl. The cleverly placed increases and classic three-cornered shape are so rhythmic to knit. As you’ll see, I love juxtaposing casual and folksy stitch patterns with modern yarns, colors and shapes. An easy autumn wrap makes such a great canvas for this sort of sport!⁠
⁠
When I began to design this easy spring wrap, I went straight to the time-honored stitches of Barbara Walker. Within two of her several admirable stitch dictionaries, I found the delightfully quaint stitches I used to compose Early Crocus. Simple and easy to understand yet elegant, these traditional stitch patterns help to create an easy autumn wrap in a classic triangle shape.⁠
