Table of Contents

The Shadow Cable pattern from Barbara Walker’s, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Vol 1, page 273 is the newest addition to the Crazy Quilt swatch stack. The swatch is knit with Berroco Vintage Chunky color 61192, Marmalade. It is a nice, easy-to-work cable pattern that creates an interesting result. As Barbara Walker points out, it’s similar to a Basket Cable, but the cables are staggered and do not cross. It is subtle but draws the eye.

Enjoy!

I just wanted to take a second and say that I nor anyone associated with this website approves of or appreciates the destructive and bigoted transphobic messages coming from J.K Rowling recently. If you are not familiar with the issues, ContraPoints does a fantastic job describing the issues.

While I say that, I do want to say, I really love Harry Potter and the wonderful world the books create. Such a delight and wonderful addition to the world.

The Squared Check Pattern from Barbara Walker’s, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Vol 1, page 19 is a lovely geometric pattern of alternating knits and purls. The result is architectural but still has a nice drape, and the pattern looks good on the reverse. I knit this with Berroco Vintage Chunky, colorway 6100, Snow Day.

Enjoy!

Alice Steinbach manages to do the things we all want to do: She travels to different places to learn new things. She goes to cooking school in France, tours Jane Austin’s England, and learns a bit about being a geisha in Japan. She does many other things as well.

I loved reading this book; even when Alice learns something I have no interest in, she makes it interesting. The locations, the learning, and the lessons were wonderful to read about.
