Plucky Kit Exclusive: Saugerties Shrug
Show me more! →I have a Plucky Knitter kit exclusive pattern coming out this Sunday, December 20th 2015… Introducing my Saugerties Shrug! I'm beyond excited for this pattern.

Below is a pic of some of my Plucktember WIPs. I can't reveal too much because these are new designs I'm working on. I've very excited about them! However, not pictured above, I do have a new pattern on my needles that I can tell you about. My Color Swatch Cowl has gone over so well and...

NEW PATTERN: Color Swatch Cowl
Show me more! →I'm pleased to announce my newest pattern, Color Swatch Cowl! Picking colors is half the fun in this bold and graphic colorwork cowl worked in worsted weight yarn (knit in Plucky Scholar). In addition to options for either an infinity scarf or a standard cowl there are instructions for a second version in fingering weight yarn (knit in Plucky Oxford). This design is knit in the round, using a provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch grafting. The Color Swatch Cowl is an addicting knit and a great option for a knitter new to colorwork! This pattern was designed with The...
