Geez. Be careful what you say on the internet!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not that\u00a0I want to limit you &#8211; you do lots of other pretty patterns in other techniques!<\/strong><br \/>\nI do love colourwork. My first knitting project ever was a classic colourwork Mary Maxim cardigan. I was lucky enough to have my roommate as my knitting teacher, so she was pretty much always available to hold my hand through the hard stuff, like casting on. The project used intarsia and flat stranded pieces and I didn\u2019t learn that those things were intimidating to others until much later.<br \/>\nI love colour. I find a colour that\u2019s beautiful on its own can be enhanced by introducing a few more hues, shades or tints to the mix.<br \/>\nI think I\u2019ve put together what makes colourwork enjoyable to produce: reasonable floats and repetitive rows. Of course, I like to keep it interesting and bend rules from time to time. Done right, it so addictive. Just. One. More. Row.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You mentioned that your geographic location is both inspiring and (can be) isolating as a designer. How does the GAL help out with community and inspiration?<\/strong><br \/>\nTotally. I live on the West Coast on Vancouver Island near the Pacific Rim National Park. We\u2019ve got the most amazing temperate rainforest and all the wildlife that one would associate with it. The air here is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have a local yarn shop or a very large population, so connecting to a local crafting community can be challenging. I\u2019m so grateful to have been involved with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/groups\/indie-design-gift-a-long\">The Indie Design Giftalong<\/a> since 2013. Over the years, I\u2019ve had a chance to work with many of the same Designers again and again and I feel like I\u2019ve forged some great friendships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you ever have difficulties between the you as a designer and you as a businesswoman? Who wins?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes! Typically, the Designer in me wins. I have a new pattern for a Pacific Northwest inspired pullover, Pinewave, coming out\u00a0in January\u00a0that is totally self-indulgent. Why? Because it requires flat stranded work and seaming. Both of these techniques are not popular, so I doubt I will recover my tech editing and yarn costs, however, I feel like the design is a real opus and I couldn\u2019t resist making it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3580 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pin Wave\" width=\"530\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pinwave.jpg 1429w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I hear a collective &#8220;Oo-Ah?&#8221;\u00a0 That is so pretty!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about the bear!<\/strong><br \/>\nWay back in 2011, I designed a Christmas stocking, Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking, for our (now closed) LYS, using colourwork motifs based on the Pacific Northwest. While the inspiration for the design endures, it was one of the first things I designed and I no longer love the pattern: the finished object is too big, there are too many long floats required and because I didn\u2019t have charting software, the actual charts, and pattern layout in general, are sloppy.<\/p>\n<p>When you keep doing something, you get better at it, and\/or your style evolves at the very least. I\u2019ve heard other creatives talk about it. The lyrics a singer might write as a love-sick teenager don\u2019t resound with them same way when they\u2019re 35, even if the anthem is a crowd-pleaser. The cupcake recipe perfected by an 8-year-old, which is really just a thinly-veiled opportunity to use all the sprinkles in the cupboard, isn\u2019t even that appealing to a 12-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>The same idea applies to knitting pattern writers. I\u2019m always proud of a pattern at the time I publish it, but over time, I get ideas as to how it could be done better. Sometimes I have the passion to go back and make it better, sometimes I don\u2019t.<br \/>\nAt some point, I quietly discontinued Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking. But people loved the concept and I kept getting queries as to how one could buy it. So, I re-designed the pattern and published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/the-pnw-stocking\">The PNW Stocking<\/a>: better size, shorter floats, and a more professional lay out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/the-pnw-stocking\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3586 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pnw-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pnw-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pnw-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pnw-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/pnw.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular charts from Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking was the bear motif, which required 16 stitch long floats. Elizabeth Zimmerman would have rolled her eyes, at the very least, I\u2019m sure. However, some people that bought Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking used the bear motif in non-stocking projects and kindly gave credit to the motif source. And people that love those projects have asked me how they can buy the pattern because they want to use the motif in their non-stocking project, too. I\u2019d love for you to make the chart available to your readers so they can access it without hunting for the discontinued pattern.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/old-chart.png\" alt=\"Bear from Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking\" width=\"647\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/old-chart.png 647w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/old-chart-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The bear motif in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/the-pnw-stocking\">The PNW Stocking<\/a> requires a 12 stitch float, so it\u2019s still unreasonable by some people\u2019s standards, but it is easier to knit than the original.<\/p>\n<p>Because I love bears, there is a chart for a bear that is even more similar to the one from Bret\u2019s West Coast Stocking Used in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/christmas-stockings-30\">Christmas Stockings pattern<\/a>. Probably most people won\u2019t notice the difference, but there are a few. This is probably the best source for knitter\u2019s bear chart needs because it also includes a photo tutorial for ladderback jacquard that can be used to better tame those floats than standard stockinette.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3582 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bear from Christmas Stockings by Faye Kennington\" width=\"530\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christineguestdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/newbearinsitu.jpg 1432w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><br \/>\nWhile we\u2019re at it, I recently designed a colourwork hat with leaves on it and thought it would be cute to hide a bear in the forest.
