Something Lacey...
Cute, huh?
I have a new project (as if I need another one!) that I just couldn't pass up. I'm going to be test knitting one of Stefanie's new patterns. I am so excited about this! Besides the getting in on something first (and who doesn't like that), I'm getting a little peak into the nitty gritties of design work. I know I mention this every once in a while and have not actually shown anything on this blog, but I have so very many ideas for knit designs floating around in my head. I want to get a little more mastery of knitting techniques before I start pawning my stuff off on other people, but the ideas are still there nonetheless. So getting to work on a Glampyre pattern and discuss the pattern with the designer before release is such a fun opportunity for me! I can't put up details but I will show my progress and the finished product. I think it's going to be a smash, it's a cute silhouette and a fast knit. I can't wait to share it with you!

Ooh, lucky girl! What a cool opportunity. I am sure you are going to rock it! Good luck!

Outstanding opportunity, Sarah! Pattern development is tough -- especially when you're trying to take what's in your head (or a sketch) and write it so that it is reproducible by others without your intervention.
All the best, and I look forward to seeing your designs once you're ready!

That will indeed be an interesting look into the design process. You couldn't ask for a better design, it's so cute and stylish enough for everyday (and almost looks like crochet).

I love her stuff. I just visited her blog and she has a picture of another new design up that will be in her book. I will definitely be buying the book.

ooh, fun! i love glampyre's designs. should be a fun experience to test out her new pattern!
and it's cool to hear that you have design ideas. i heard this interview with kaffe fassett - and he is a self-taught knitter! so, the ideas are the important part - techniques can come later! happy thanksgiving!

That is so cool! Both the test knitting and the designing. I say go for it. You'll learn the technical stuff along the way!
