In the running

By | November 8, 2011

You’ve heard of Patternfish, right? It’s a top-notch source of patterns, nearly 10,000 of them.

Which pattern gets the honor of being the 10,000th? You get to decide! The folks at Patternfish have narrowed the field to 11 contenders, and you get to vote for one of them.

I’m thrilled to say one of my designs is in the running – whoo hoo! Check out Sidewinder:

ya gotta love all the energy and movement in this stitch pattern

You can see more photos on Sidewinder’s page at Patternfish.

Designing and knitting these socks was a lot of fun. As so often happens for me, it all started with stitch pattern exploration: I saw an interesting little lace pattern, expanded it, added purl bumps for interest, replaced yo with M1, and turned it into a rib… yeah, doesn’t much look like the original lace pattern anymore, but I do like the socks!

If you like ’em too, you can take a moment to vote for them at Patternfish… or not, as you like. Really, I am just thrilled to be in the running.
