So many patterns!

Lots of news on the pattern front!

Just released yesterday is Kelvingrove Sweater: a cute, nautical Summer knit in a cotton/linen blend. Kelvingrove is knit from the top down, in the round with set-in sleeves. It comes in 10 sizes to fit bust 32" - 56" and has guidance on how to customize the pattern for a perfect fit. And the best part? It's free on Ravelry for the next week (after that it will be the princely sum of $7).

 Bellahouston is a gorgeous fairisle sweater dress to keep you cosy this winter. It's just up for testing at the moment, so if you want to volunteer as a test knitter head over to the Ravelry Free Pattern Testers group.

It's also available in 10 sizes, to fit bust 32 - 56, with extensive guidance on customization.

And finally, a wee teaser. Testing of Queen's Park Cardigan is well underway and I hope to release the pattern in the next month or two. Here's some pictures!

What else is in the pipeline? A cute fingering weight, slightly lacy shrug and a worsted weight mens cabled pullover, both of which will hopefully be available in time for Christmas!

  1. Hi there! Not sure if this will reach you, but since i couldn't find an email address, i'm trying it this way.

    i'm trying to knit the lomond hat, but i had to add a couple stitches (16 to be precise) and no i am stuck as to where to add those stitches when counting for the marker placement. do i add them to the first/last 17 sts? or right to the middle of the round? i'm just not sure and was wondering if you could help me.

    thank you so much,
    katrin

  2. Hey, thanks for your question! I would place M1 after stitch 23, M2 after stitch 27, M3 after stitch 45 and M4 after stitch 49. This way your increases are evenly spread around the hat.
