A few people have asked me about my process for designing yoked sweaters. Basically there's a lot of trying things out on paper and checking how it comes together. 🧶🐉 #showmeyourknits #knitting #knittingdesign #art

Me in a pink beanie with a simple cable.

All of a sudden I made one more and took notes while doing it! I even think I could handle a small and informal testknitting 😇 Send me a message if you’re interested. 🧶 is DK or light worsted weight, techniques are twisted rib, simple cable and grafting. #knitsky #knittingdesign

I published a pattern today! The Golden rope shawl 💛 🧶
First publish since November due to pattern production exhaustion 😓 It’s hard work making a pattern come to life and after my next one (almost finished) I will take a break. #ravelry #knitsky #knittingdesign

My 8 released patterns from 2025

Last year’s pattern haul from Colorway Knits 🧶 My ambition at was 10 but I slowed down significantly after summer since it began to feel more like a chore than a joy to release patterns. So I have started testknitting for others and just winging designs without writing anything 😌

A mosaic knit colorwork cowl hangs loosely down a person's chest, showing a dark teal pattern set against a luminous background shifting from orange to yellow to light blue. Alternate sections of a diagonally repeated motif and dotted stripes break up the right side of the fabric, while the reverse side shows short floats in a more blended fabric. Stripey i-cord edges keep the edges tidy and satisfyingly round.

#ShowMeYourKnits whites and brights - here's one on the bright end. The weather has been a bit sharper here, and I keep reaching for my Dust Jacket Cowl to keep my neck comfortable. It's a really fun knit, too.

A white cowl featuring a lattice of twisted stitches and garter ridges. The triangular shapes are filled with garter stitch on occasion. On the left, a narrow column of garter stitch hides the jog and provides a built-in row counter.

A man models the cowl, demonstrating how it sits low on his chest. A small triangle of fabric from his shirt is visible at the base of his neck.

A white cowl sample rests atop a grey cowl in the same pattern. Light cuts across the surface to reveal the textures in the fabric. White yarn is Bluesky Fibers Extra, a lofty aran-weight alpaca-wool blend. Grey is Briar Rose Fibers Abundance.

Oh, but there's also this sample of a cowl I designed. It's quite loose-fitting to add bulk across the chest, ideal for when the weather is cool but not bitterly cold or windy.

🧶 Notes from my desk

As I encountered this twice now:
Judy's Magic Cast On is a double-sided cast on NOT a provisional cast on. Obviously you can put one side of that cast on on hold while working the other side but it's still not a provisional cast on.
