Suite for Short Rows
I am thrilled to introduce my new collection for Spring and Summer 2012: Suite for Short Rows.

There will be 6 patterns in all, each one exploring that most fascinating of knitting techniques: short rows. They will be released one per month.

You can pre-order all 6 patterns for $35.00 CAD here and receive them as soon as they are released.
This is a saving of 40% over the full retail price of these patterns. There will also be special offers and discounts for those who pre-order the collection.

The first pattern, released in January is the gracefully flowing shawl, Arpeggio.
The February pattern is Crescendo.
