This weekend has been one of the most exciting in my short career as a knitting designer. Why? Because the latest issue of Yarnwise is out and I have a pattern in it!
Back in November, I saw a post on Ravelry by the editor of Yarnwise looking for last minute submissions for their Winter/Spring issues. I usually ignore submission calls because the deadlines rarely work well with my day-job and studying and, well, the rest of my life. However, I realised that for this one I had a pattern already mostly designed that fitted one of the themes really well and I had a few days booked off work that I’d be able to spend tweaking the design and actually writing the pattern. So, I knitted up a swatch/sample, put a submission together, sent it in and the rest is history.
Here are the sample socks before they were posted off to have their “proper” photographs taken:
I’ll do a full “Story of a design” post at some point but for now I’m too busy grinning at seeing my pattern in print!
Congrats, those are great looking socks, and all shiny in a magazine!
Thank you!
I love it!!! and my socks!!! I have then use it for a lot of other yarn, without your special pattern, because finally I have a basic patterns that fit all of my mothers thin weavingyarn. A pattern that you do the heal afterwards. You can see them all on Ravelry, I testing with thin sockyarns now
