Summer Free Range Knitting Guide
)
)
My philosophy is simple: beautiful yarn is meant to be explored, to
be played with the way we played with color for the very first time as
children. Remember those boxes of crayons? Opening every new box was
a delight, a promise. Is there any reason why as adults we think that’s
all over?
Unleash yourself. Paint with yarn. Color with yarn. Let lines guide you
rather than box you in. The free-range summer knitting offers a guiding
design, techniques, and plenty of options to explore knitting as creative
self-expression. The key is to experiment, explore, and play, creating
your own piece of wearable art rather than someone else’s concept.
)
Because free range knitting is a perfect refuge against rules, regulations,
and what-not-to-dos, no wrongs exist, only opportunities for discovery.
Some of the loveliest designs emerge from knitters who can’t tell
you what they did to create such wonder. Perhaps they allowed themselves
to knit intuitively, following little tangents at a level beyond the
rational brain? One knitter said she just ‘went for it’ and
let go of all preconceived notions of what not to do and in so doing
created one extraordinary piece after another.
This is your guide to free-range knitting, summer style. Consider the three designs as blank canvases for your own explorations though each is written in full detail so you can model the originals exactly. Each design is also open to any yarn, accommodates any size and is open to interpretation and all the samples shown favor easy, lacy, styles perfect for warmer weather.

Feather n Fan Club Guide
)
)
The feather and fan stitch, so named in Victorian times, was once relegated to restrained shawls and baby blankets. Like a dowager queen, she’d stodgily make her way across knitted rows in plodding, predictable, paths, always careful to do the proper thing in the name of laced-up propriety.
But that was then. Celebrate F&F’s release from captivity. Her true spirit emerges here as a nature sprite, born of field and glen, leaping from the ferny shadows to ripen colors on the vine in gleeful sprays of light and color. Give her lovely yarn to play with and she’s poetry: pure spirit netted in stitch.
Join her fan club with these three distinct designs. Her exuberant nature
is released in the popular Organic Wrap design (updated with a few extras),
is touched with a wee bit of Highland glory in the Ripenings Wrapped
Shrug, and slips into something richly evocative in the Roving Moss cardigan.
In every one, she challenges you to take risks, blend colors, experiment
with textures and learn how to turn knitting into magic. 54 lavishly-illustrated
pages.

Knit a Beach Booklet
)
)
The water's warm so let's knit a beach! If you can dream it, you can knit it. Learn how to knit with a guide rather than a pattern with this evocative knitting workshop/pattern that takes you to the beach of your dreams. Combined with a knitalong and online tips, you can have your own private virtual beach.
Experience combining simple stitches to create textures that evoke the blue sea frothed with ocean latte and sand hues of a summer beach.
Create a vest/tabard design so gorgeous you won't want to knit just one. Make yours either fitted or loose and easy or apply the techniques used to another pattern maybe even your own design.
Come on - dive in!
On June 18th, a beach-a-long starts both on my website here and on Ravelry Beach along. If you're late getting started, it's never too late to join in because the tips, extra photos and diagrams will remain on my Knitalong site as an additional resource.
The guide is 41 pages long and lavishly illustrated.
