My second pattern officially graduated from the editing process today (huge thanks to my friend Trisha from TAAT Designs for editing)! It was a much simpler pattern than the first (which I hope to be able to share soon!), but I am still thrilled that it has come together.
I don't have any firm release details, but I can say that there is beauty in simplicity, in letting the yarn shine as the star. Especially when you are working with gorgeous yarn from Three Irish Girls.
So called 'mindless knits' have their place in many knitters' lives, I know they do in mine. As you knit something simple, your mind is freed up for mental multitasking or meditating or praying or listening. Or for a rest from everything and a chance to enjoy the peace.
I remember reading something from the Yarn Harlot once that has stuck with me - she wrote that a child wearing a handknit garment was like a message to all saying "This child is loved". There is love in every stitch and that makes it special.
