Trails & Valleys comes out in less than a week! Over a year in the making and I can’t believe it’s almost ready to go out into the world!

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

So many beautiful projects in the #SkyKAL tag! Thank you all so much for embracing this project! I have a handful of prizes to handout at the end of February already!

Of course we welcome crocheters & other fibre craft to come & join us as well! Let’s keep it rolling!

I’m working on a new class this year all about side to side shawls with the #BennetSisterShawl, one of my most successful & popular patterns ever.

She’s getting a new sister shawl that is more textured with an alternative mohair placement & I can’t wait to share it!

Have you knit a Bennet Sister?

Oh absolutely! There are a lot of sewers and crocheters I have seen joining in as well. And I think that’s great. It would be difficult to sort and organize appropriate prizes for everyone. But I love seeing everyone’s projects.
