New Knitty Pattern and a New online class to celebrate! « »
Woo Hoo! It’s REALLY new Knitty day!!
AND… I have a pattern in this issue!
I’m so proud to be part of Knitty’s 30th issue!
Thank you to Lorna’s Laces for contributing the yarn that made this design possible (GreenLine Worsted in “Devon”) and to Knitpicks for supplying the needles (Options Interchangables.)
Knitty has planned LOTS of giveaways to celebrate this momentous occasion, check out the Knitty site and knittydotcom on twitter for details.
I decided to celebrate by offering a new online class! (And by giving away free tuition to any one of my classes to one lucky Knitty reader!)
Design Your Own Shawl Class
This class will teach YOU to be the designer!
First, you’ll choose your own shawl shape. Either a four-sectioned shawl like “frost diamonds” (in this issue of Knitty) and “Mirth” OR a simpler, two-sectioned (half-square) triangle like many others you’ve seen online.
Next, you choose one, two, three, or more stitch patterns that work and flow together to create the body of your shawl.
Then, you’ll see how to choose a border stitch pattern to tie the whole thing together.
Finally, you’ll write your own pattern! (You’ll need to find your own testers / tech editors after the pattern is written.)
By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished shawl pattern (even if you haven’t finished your knitting) that you can share with friends, publish yourself, or even submit to a magazine!

Class will begin on January 18 and go through February 7, 2010.
