Finishing up the Yachats pattern (and a stealth project before that) freed up some time to get back to a long-neglected project: Camille.
Camille
Actually, I finished Camille some time ago… let’s see, must’ve been fall of 2007, as the pattern was initially published in the Spring 2008 issue of Twists and Turns. It includes some of my favorite design features: seamless construction; set-in sleeves worked from the top down with short-rowed sleeve caps; subtle waist shaping; and cables that blend in with the bottom ribbing.

But today I finally got around to making Camille available via Patternfish… like I had hoped to do months ago.
You see, back in January I decided to go through my collection of patterns, figure out for which ones I still held the copyright, and post one a week to Patternfish. I was surprised by how many patterns I’d written up over the years: hats, mittens, shawls, sweaters, and more. The “gotcha!” was that they had all been written up in different styles, for different publications. Getting a cohesive “look” to my patterns on Patternfish would entail reformatting the patterns and, in some cases, taking new sample photos. Not too taxing, really. It seemed reasonable enough to assume I could reformat a pattern each week, in my spare time.
Then February hit. I was on the road over half the month. And one excuse led to another, and here we are practically in June.
At any rate, Camille is now available. (Or should be, very shortly, once the folks at Patternfish complete some behind-the-scenes fiddling.) Will I manage to revive my Patternfish efforts, and post another pattern each week? Maybe. But don’t hold me to it, okay?
