ELK Studio Round Up

This week I am very pleased to share patterns from ELK Studio ~ handcrafted crochet designs with you. ELK Studio is owned and run by Kathy Lashley, a very talented and wonderful woman. Kathy is a southern girl in the best of ways! Her designs often show her country roots, making them feel very warm and comforting. She uses wonderful stitch patterns to bring interest to her designs. It’s no surprise that her designs are very popular.

Kathy is currently hosting a Christmas CAL, and it’s awesome! You can find the info about the CAL on her blog, here. You can also join her Facebook group to share your photos and chat with others about the CAL. There are 2 patterns in the CAL, a cowl and matching hat, and both patterns are written for worsted weight and bulky yarn, so you can choose!

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something about each one.

Kim Guzman Round Up

Many of you know of Kim Guzman as the Tunisian Crochet Queen. She certainly is one of the top Tunisian crochet designers out there, but did you know she has more “regular” crochet patterns then Tunisian? AND she designs knit patterns as well. Really, there aren’t many designers out there as skilled as Kim.

On top of that, Kim is a very kind and helpful individual. She is often answering questions from crocheters and designers. Kim has helped me along in my career more times than I could count. She is an amazing woman, and I am so happy to share some of her beautiful designs with you here.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something about each one.

Kira Dulaney is the designer behind K Designs, a line of original knitting and crochet patterns with a streamlined and eminently wearable aesthetic. Kira’s designs include garments and accessories in a wide size range, featuring clean lines and intriguing details that are both interesting to make and easy to wear. Kira has been teaching knitting and crochet classes in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond since 2003.

Ann Kingstone

Tonight’s round up is all knit! Our featured designer is Ann Kingstone, and her designs are beautiful. Ann has a way of bringing vintage to modern. Does that make sense? Well, however you want to describe her style, it’s lovely. She has a wonderful way with colors and textures, creating some stunning fair isle patterns and cable patterns.

Most of her patterns are for sale, but she does have a few free patterns as well if you like to test out her writing style before buying some of her patterns.

Ann also has some great books available at Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon CA, and Amazon DE.

I have put together a collection of some of her patterns for you. Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something Ann has to say about them.

Auryn ~ Twisted and Twirled MKAL #2

Auryn

Twisted and Twirled Knit Necklace #2
Free Knit Pattern
Easy Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot

The second necklace in the Twisted and Twirled Knit necklace series is made with stockinette stitch in the round, this means only knit stitches!. It has 3 twists in it, and rolls in on itself for lots of twisty, twirly fun! This swirly necklace can be worked up in no time with less than 35 yards of DK weight yarn. Auryn is named after the medallion in The Neverending Story ~ because Dragonfly fibers made me think of dragons which made me think of Falkor, the Luckdragon from The Neverending Story, but I wanted a name that sounded more female, so I went with Auryn (OR~in). Aren’t you glad you asked?

The yarn used in this sample was donated by Dragonfly Fibers for the Marly Bird Designer Dinner at the summer 2015 TNNA Needlearts Trade Show.

This necklace is part of the Twisted and Twirled MKAL (Mystery Knit ALong).

Linen Stitch Mobius Cowl

Linen Stitch Mobius Cowl
Crochet Pattern
Intermediate Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot

This fashionable cowl works up quickly with just 1 ball of Willow Yarns Dappled. It is crocheted using the linen stitch in the round with a mobius join; this puts the starting chain through the center of the cowl, and makes each round add stitches to both the top and the bottom of the cowl. It is fun to make, and the stitch and yarn work wonderfully together to create beautiful texture and color changes. The cowl also works up quickly because it is made holding 2 strands of yarn together as one, so the gauge is a bit larger.

So get yourself ready for the cooler weather with this beautiful cowl or scarf.

Lindsey Stephens ~ Poetry in Yarn Round Up

I recently met an amazing woman and wonderful designer: Lindsey Stephens of Poetry In Yarn. She is super fun, and her designs are delightful! She has both crochet and knit patterns, many for sale, and some free as well.

I made the flower from her Flower Necklace pattern. I made it a bit bigger and with a looser gauge than in the pattern because I want to hand stitch it onto a piece of felt and attach it to a headband for one of my daughters. It will be adorable! The pattern was very well written and easy to follow.

Here is a little of what Lindsey has to say about herself:

“Lindsey Stephens is a crochet designer and Professional Member of the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) as well as a member of The National Needlearts Association (TNNA). She has had her designs published in a national magazine as well as by yarn companies, and has taught needle arts and crafting classes in a variety of venues. Lindsey learned to crochet while on a three day road trip when her family relocated from her home state of Texas to Connecticut. When she first arrived in Connecticut, Lindsey owned 2 skeins of yarn. She has been steadily adding to her stash ever since.

Poetry in Yarn is the result of Lindsey’s love of expression and experimentation in fiber arts and her desire to share her discoveries with others.”

Here are a selection of her patterns, both knit and crochet, some free and some for sale. Below are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that the designer has to say about them.
