I had a wonderful holiday (crazy busy, but that is the nature of the beast!), and topped it off with an authentic Korean dinner at my eldest daughter’s apartment. We enjoyed homemade mondu and bulgogi, Kimchi soup, and a bunch of other things whose names I couldn’t hope to spell! I remember the first time I entertained at my first apartment — served salad out of empty margarine (or whatever!) containers because I had no dishes. Laura has no silverware…we ate cake with spoons. Her birthday is this week so you know what I will be getting for her!! 😉
I wanted to let our loyal readers know about a brief promotion I am doing on Ravelry for my It’s Not About the Hat and Surrounded Afghan patterns. They are both discounted 25% through January 8, in honor of the new year. No code is needed.
It’s Not About the Hat
Invisible Stranding is for 2-color stranded knitting, and allows you to carry yarn across any number of stitches without catching the floats. There are no puckers and the other color does not show through. It is ideal for Norwegian sweaters and other stranded projects. The pattern includes complete instructions, as well as youtube videos demonstrating each step of the technique.
Surrounded Afghan
This design forms a continuous edging on all sides as you go: when you’re done, it’s done. Surrounded can easily be resized for any width or length.
So, if you haven’t bought these already and are interested, now is a good time to dive in. It’s back to work on Monday. Holiday time is over. Is that the good news or the bad news??
January 8, midnight — the promotion is now over. Thanks, everyone!
Thank you Susan! I already have your surrounded pattern, and love it. I just bought the hat pattern, off to learn a new technique… 🙂

Happy New Year! I have admired Surrounded and just purchased it. Thank you! With a friend’s grandbaby due next month this is perfect.

Thank you for the It’s Not About The Hat pattern! It’s more than a pattern, it’s an exposition about Invisible Stranding that it detailed and clearly explained and demonstrated. The You Tube videos are the icing on the cake. Happy New Year and many thanks.
