My summer cardigan pattern, Flaming June, just came out in the Spring/Summer issue of Knitty. It's made of lightweight hemp with a flattering, swingy A-line fit. I made my version last summer and it took a couple of months of knitting to finish, including figuring out all the math and going back to re-do the front collar sections a couple of times til I got it the way I wanted. Little did I know that Pantone would be celebrating "Tangerine Tango" as the "it" colour of 2012.

You can get Allhemp 3 online from Kpixie.com. They are offering yarn bundles in the colour combinations I suggested in the pattern, and have a 15-20% off sale right now. Get the yarn here and the discount codes here.

I'm very excited that my first collection of patterns is now available! Covet (small warm things to knit and wear) includes six original patterns for knitted accessories: a stunning, super-chunky cowl, a set of basketweave scarves, a super-quick cute pointy hat, striped mittens with extra-long cuffs, a one-of-a-kind welted neckwarmer, and elegant baby-cabled fingerless gloves. 

This collection is available for purchase from Ravelry (PDF download $15) and from MagCloud (PDF $15; perfect-bound hard copy $20+postage--includes free digital copy)
