Anyone ever seen a similar crochet pattern?

I’ve just received an advanced copy of @mairlynd upcoming pattern ‘My Cryptonite’ using our Merino Cashmere yarn. Time to start planning colour combinations for the release date, which is always fun. #skeinyarn #knitting #tricot #mairlynd #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingaddict
Well, the last picture I posted of this got randomly popular, so, update.
I think I hate knitting fingers right now. I can’t feel the yarn as well with these double point needles, so I have to actually look at what I’m doing and can’t read while knitting. Also, I need to buy like 60 proper stitch holders, since I can never find them when I want them and have to resort to things like using a cable needle with point protectors and hope they don’t fall off. (yeah, yarn works too, but it’s super annoying to get back onto a needle, so I don’t like using it as much)
Pattern used is Marywarmers, which I’m modifying to fully fingered gloves. Used the Phalangees technique for the base of the fingers. Yarn is Berroco Folio Luxe.
This pattern is so pretty and the yarn makes it look fantastic.
Oh oh oh that’s my pattern! I am excite. I have been waiting for this day. Hello! Also, ooh, fingers!
Knitted on Borders and How to Make Them
Who says you have to bind off? Add a knitted on border instead. Pick any edge pattern, cast on, and knit it right into your project.
Do you ever wonder how many patterns never see the light of day because designers just don’t want to go through the bother of writing them legibly?
It’s crossed my mind once or twice… 😁
*sighs* that’s a lot of charts I kinda need to get onto spreadsheets. Maybe 8 I have in notebooks around my room. All of which will be free whenever I get to them.
Guilty as charged…
With me, it’s because the more popular patterns spawn a never-ending stream of people wanting me to explain personally to them how to do the thing. I did not want to become a personal knitting tutor, and that scared me off publishing more patterns. Before publishing a pattern myself, it never would have occurred to me that people might write to the designer asking for personal coaching through said pattern.
Today’s featured designer is Lisa Hannes, Ravelry username maliha. She doesn’t have a whole lot of patterns up yet. But I find her colorwork and design exciting. I think you will too.
It’s been finished since early January (except for all the buttons I’d like to put on there), but only now I got a chance to get pictures! More to find here: http://ravel.me/KnittingPauls/ndsey
This is a fanwork in a double sense: Inspiration came from reading @bilboo‘s brilliant Hobbit fanfic Nothing Gold Can Stay (it’s on Ao3). Even though I originally envisioned a Bilbo-style cardigan, a bit boxy but with dwarv-, no, Ereborean patterns, a gift from Thorin perhaps, it changed character in my head – technically a unisex garment, this is now connected to Princess Dis. Whatever.
To be fair in the other direction, knitting inspiration came from the patterns and style of La Maison Rililie and Stephen West.
It’s called the Hurmulkezer Cardigan, for obvious reasons, and is for royal time off. The pattern write up will come soon. (no-seam, modular, stranded flat, i-cord, buttoned)
