Apparently it’s all cables all the time around here. What can I say, they’re just nifty. I can’t really help myself. Let’s do a little run down of cabled things due out over the next year or so (let’s also pretend there’s a giant, flashing, obnoxiously insistent asterisk right here pointing you to a big disclaimer about how none of these dates are at all set in stone, and you should absolutely expect them to wiggle about a bit).
The zig zag mitts (which written and off with testers right now, probably coming out this summer).
The slippers (I’m working on writing them now, and should have them with testers in a week or two, probably coming out this fall).
The teeny twisty cabled socks (which just need pictures to be ready to release and should be out this summer).
The lovely snuggly cowl (freshly written and ready to start testing).
And of course the hat with the biggest cables ever (getting written after the slippers).
And no, that’s not all the patterns I’ll be putting out this year, that’s jut all of the cabled ones I already have planned (cough, and can show you now, cough). Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go try and not knit a cable for a few minutes, just to make sure I can.
I am in love with the hat. I don’t normally think of myself as a cable girl but this may have sold me.
That’s normally how I feel about fuzzy yarn, but somehow this hat totally sold me on the fuzzy. Apparently it’s good at changing people’s minds!
Never been a slipper girl, but if those * should * make it out by fall, I can see a lot of those wrapped up under trees in late December. And certainly would have to start with a test knit that might stay next to my own bed. ;o)
Yummy, yummy line-up; I’ll resist trying to figure out which are my favorites, but the mitts are also right up there.
Never been a slipper girl, but I can see a lot of those wrapped up under holiday trees come December. And surely a test version by the side of my bed – wouldn’t want to gift something I hadn’t practiced! ;o)
And hard as I would find it to decide which of those are my favorites, the mitts would be right up there…
ADORE the slippers! I’ve been stalking them since you first blogged about them.
And would LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to test them! Please!!!!
All the tests are announced over here. That’s totally the place to keep an eye of if you’re ever interested in testing!
So excited! Mitts, slippers, socks, in that order….
Starting the yarn search now.
I am so excited about those zigzag mitts! I missed the testing request, but I am certainly stoked to buy that pattern!
Yay! Thank you, btw, for answering my question about the yarn in the slippers. Caper Aran by String Theory may be discontinued, but it gives me a starting point for yarn weight and coloration that I can use to browse my favorite vendors. 🙂
I am going to have to resist the call for test knitters, and instead wait for the pattern release, as I’m not so good with deadline knitting right now. (Though better this week than most weeks, lol.)
I LOVE the pictures you take of knits. sigh. : ) (I’m SO glad you joined IG!!!! : ) )
I’m entranced by the zigzag mitts. I’m going to have to knit them just to see how that pattern works.
