Patterns I Like:
This stranded colourwork infinity scarf was inspired by old-fashioned woven gingham. Knit in the round, and then grafted to form a loop, the scarf showcases a simple gridded check that is most often used as a background or filler to more complex colourwork designs, but which I think looks lovely on its own.
Ronnie Hazelhurst — meister of 1970s British light entertainment — gave his name to this design. I found designing and knitting this scarf strangely like a Hazelhurst tune – I just couldn’t get it out of my head. Thanks, Ronnie.

The Vogue Knitting Crochet 2012 Collector's Issue
The designs in Vogue Knitting have really gone downhill over the past few years and I see that this is also the case with the crochet magazine. When I first starting buying Vogue Knitting (late 80’s) it had in it the most stylish patterns that you could find anywhere, now you have to go to Rowan for that or buy a book containing 50 patterns when you only like a handful of them. I think that they need new designers. No…I know that they need new designers.
