Wonder and joy, Dan’s nieces\u00a0are old enough to want and appreciate woolen hand knits!<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0I picked two patterns from\u00a0GAL designers<\/a> for their Christmas presents, it was easy to search on what I needed from the GAL bundle.<\/p>\n

For my younger niece, I made a pair of William’s Socks<\/a>. \u00a0She has discovered how warm\u00a0wool socks are – smart girl! \u00a0My older niece likes infinity scarves so I set out to make a cobblestone Intersections cowl.<\/a>\u00a0(Shown here on my daughter) \u00a0The yarn was Cestari in Blue Pansy.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cobblestone
Cobblestone Intersections Cowl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I recognized the designer, Sarah Schira, from when I used to get homeschooling ideas from her homeschool blog<\/a>, before her kids got older and she moved to her knitting design one primarily.<\/a><\/p>\n

See how the slipped stitch selvage on the end of the garter is echoed\u00a0by the border between the garter and the cobblestone section? \u00a0It’s the\u00a0tiniest bit\u00a0of ribbing. \u00a0Both sides look like they have a puffy knit stitch separating them from each section, but the purl ditch fades away into shadow. \u00a0Balanced asymmetry\u00a0is so cool. \u00a0I was in awe of this pattern, so many elegant solutions, thoughtful, simple, in a clear, tidy, pattern. \u00a0Knit it, it’s wonderful.<\/a><\/p>\n

Addendum: I had this post all set to auto post when I saw that Sarah was interviewed on how to become a Professional Knitter<\/a>. \u00a0So I made sure to link to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
