Patterns &
Samples
Writing patterns is fun but a little intense - sometimes
my eyes start spiraling and
I start singing in Russian for
no reason - and I don't
even speak Russian.
And sometimes I make
mistakes in the pattern.
If there are errors in a
pattern, I apologize...
deeply
profusely
fervently!
I try not to waste your
time or raise your blood
pressure, so if you find a
mistake, let me know and I'll
post a correction.
In our quest to provide simple and beautiful projects for 1 or 2 skeins of our yarn, we've assembled quite a selection of patterns. Many of the samples are available to view in person at Yarns Unlimited in Bloomington, Indiana and you can find most of them in our booth at a show.
We have listed the yarn used for the pattern next to the photo, but any similar yarn can be substituted. Contact us if you have questions. Newest patterns are listed first. Most patterns have both PDF and .doc versions.
