My latest design, All Sorts Vest in a variety of colors and sizes thanks to my wonderful testers who made such fabulous vests.

I also made a second sample, shown here in yellow and black. Yarn by @cascadeyarns sport, the ultimate wool for steeking and colorwork.

Happy Fall knitting everyone!

Sample 5 of my #revolvingcapelet pattern was completed quickly during the test to make sure size 1 had the correct marker placement at the end of the yoke section.

Made in sport weight #marisolyarn #paqupura alpaca in a self-striping colorway, this sample is another soft hug. Hoping the recipient loves it as much as I loved making it!

Revolving is coming very soon to #ravelry and has 9 sizes and 3 length options!

I don't typically knit the same pattern 3x, but I think this one is going to be a record breaker for me. #revolvingcapelet is probably my favorite design to date.

This one is made for me, and I'm wearing it twice this week already - once at work with a wool dress, and today with jeans and a waffle henley. I love how the deep teal of the Cashmere Lace "glimmers" with the lighter sock yarn. It's soft, warm, and I feel radiant and secure in it. It's like a hug.

Revolving has no sleeve island, uses yoke increases, and features a fun little dip stitch feature to break up the stockinette. It's adaptable to all sorts of yarns and yarn combos and has 3 available lengths × 9 available sizes (each represents 6 in/15 cm of chest circumference). Revolving is hands-free, warm coverage you can dress up or down, or gift to virtually anyone. Oh, and it's a DK/DK equivalent fabric that works up pretty fast - I did this one (size 3, length B) in 32 hours.

The testers are trying fair isle yarns, mohair/merino combos, cotton blends...We are testing the snot out of this right now and I'm thinking of one for the summer in cotton, linen, or a blend of them for that addition to my personal collection.

Pattern should post in a few weeks!

The little feature in the #revolvingcapelet that gives it pop is a humble dip stitch...when paired with the right yarns, and set on a swirly yoke increase...magic!

Calling #testknitters - I have my Revolving pattern ready for testing!

A top-down, in-the-round, one-piece project knit either with 1) fingering held together with mohair, 2) DK weight yarn, or 3) fingering yarn held together/marled, Revolving is straightforward, versatile, and cozy. There sample shown is a size 3, used about 600 each of fingering weight Merino and kid silk mohair, and knit to length A.

There are 9 sizes and 3 lengths available in the pattern, accommodating chest sizes 24-30 in/60-75 cm to 72-78 in/180-195 cm. Depending on the size and configuration, estimated yarn need ranges from 475 to 1200 yards (per yarn/of each if holding 2 together)

Head to #yarnpond and apply if interested- I'll run the entire test there and the (flexible) deadline for completion is 31 March. Please don't ask to be invited/included outside of yarnpond.
