[summer-dust]

The fact that I don't have the money to make this right now when I think about it DAILY is CRIMINAL

losing my mind bc I can't afford enough yarn to make cute wearables anymore since my fiance lost their job and all I want to do is knit.....

what about winter makes me both poor and driven to craft 😭

One Tree Hill Cowl Knitting Pattern

One Tree Hill Cowl Knitting Pattern Introducing the One Tree Hill Cowl knitting pattern which was published today and is now available for sale. This knitting design is part of my ongoing series of cowls using Woven Floats Technique. In the foreground is a grove of pine trees that reach for the sky. In the background, a gentle slope leads up the hill to a sole tree which stretches out over the jagged cliff edge as if to challenge the winds.

What Was The Inspiration For The Cowl Knit Pattern Design?

Whilst working on the Woven Floats knitting pattern series, I loved how easily the technique creates wide, shallow diagonal lines. I thought it would suit the sloped branches of pine trees very well. Also noting, I haven’t yet designed anything in green, I was ready to start playing in this hue. Where is One Tree Hill?

One Tree Hill is a significant landmark in the city of Auckland, New Zealand, where I was born. As a child, I remember it having a smooth gentle, narrow road that winds up to the top. Then some steep, jagged areas down the other side filled with bush scrub which could not be traversed. The history we were taught about this area (and, indeed the whole world) leaves a lot of blanks which need to be filled in. We were told the hill was initially used as a fortress then later abandoned by the Maoris. The Maori tribes came from the Polynesian islands and allegedly landed in New Zealand only around 5-600 years ago. There have been archeological finds around One Tree Hill. They appear to be weapons, bones and other objects. As a fortress, the hill has carved layers which you can easily see in modern photos. These days you can drive up the road, park in the car park and walk around. The view looks out in all directions, 360 degrees. At this narrow point of New Zealand, you can see both the East and West coasts. At the apex stands a modern built obelisk as a memorial. There was a single tree up there through most of my life. If stood as an icon representing home to me. Whenever I flew back into Auckland during the day, I would look for the tree out the plane window, knowing I’d made it home. The Fall of the Tree Unfortunately, a political activist thought it would be a great protest to cut the tree down. I refuse to mention his name. Anyone who causes so much harm should never be made famous, in my eyes. The police stopped him part way through. However, a few years later, more activists added to the damage. Tragically, the tree had to be removed. Auckland fell into mourning for the tree which was most dear to us. It even had its own obituary in the newspaper. People shared so many personal stories. Marriage proposals and marked life events, all connected to the hill and the tree. That was in the 1990s. For at least 15 years after that, the bureaucrats fought over what tree should be planted as replacement. I think that, in the end, they decided to plant a grove of trees. It idea is to let them grow and just keep whichever one is the strongest. If they’d stopped arguing and just got the job done, 15 years would be ample time to grow a new tree already! A Walk Down Memory Lane Around the base of One Tree Hill is the truly beautiful Cornwall Park. This land was donated by the owner John Logan Campbell in 1901 to always be freely available to the public. The park is filled with paddocks of sheep and cows. There are deciduous trees which colourfully mark the seasons. There's a large flock of unwanted roosters, a small function centre and an archery range. I spent many hours in this park as a single, as a lover and as a young mum. I loved to sit about half way up the hill. There, I could watch the storms roll in from the West, across the land and out to sea in the East. Sometimes I was peaceful, sometimes introspective. I even went there to comfort myself when things weren’t going so well. It is a very special place. More about One Tree Hill or Maungakiekie. One Tree Hill is, I’m sure, still at the heart of many New Zealanders. I could have added the obelisk and the shape of the old tree in the knitting pattern design but prefer to look forward to a new tree growing at the summit.

Yarns Used In The Design Sample

As a rule for this series, the challenge was that I was not allowed to buy any more yarn. I didn’t have any pine tree green so, I appealed to the local Knitters Guild. One of the darling members, gave me two balls of KnitPicks (USA) Swish which is a light worsted weight yarn. Thanks, Kate! I used this for my Main Colour (MC). The shade is “Lost Lake Heather” and has a gorgeous, earthy deep blue green hue with a subtle fleck to make the heather effect. https://www.knitpicks.com/lost-lake-heather/p/25146

The weight of the Swish yarn beautifully matched Morris and Sons (an Australian company) Estate 8ply wool which was chosen for the Contrast Colour (CC). The heather effect in the colour “Building” has a wonderful soft handle. I could easily see myself making a thick cabled sweater from this yarn! https://morrisandsons.com.au/collections/8-ply-yarn/products/morris-estate-8ply The two worked very beautifully together. I enjoyed every minute of making this cowl.

Knitting Yarn Options

Choose yarns that have some stability. Avoid yarns that have a lot of drape or elasticity. I saw one knitter used a very silky super wash yarn as the floats and it just didn’t have the bulk to fill out the design. - You can use solid colour yarns for a strong look. - Heather colour yarns make for a more gentle, subdued look. - Splashed, dotted or printed yarns paired with a solid can make the cowl look more impressive and more complicated than it actually is. - Colour tip: If you are unsure about what to pair with a hand dyed or printed yarn, opt for one of the alternate colours already featured in a small way. - A slow variegated yarn that gradually works its way through several colours can be fun too. Match it to a solid colour that stands out and compliments, but does not match, any of the variegated colours. - If you choose a cake yarn that graduates from dark to light, you can change the opposite colour using two solids from light to dark so the picture remains visible. Use dark contrast for the light end of the cake and light contrast for the dark end of the cake. This design is the second in the series using heavier yarns. The Peru Double Cowl uses fingering weight yarn which is a little more difficult to work. It was meant to be released later in the series but I couldn’t wait to make it! I have numbered them based on their level of difficulty so the Woven Illusion Cowl is number one, One Tree Hill is number two and the Peru Double Cowl is number 5 coming after all the heavier weight cowls.

Size options

The chart in the One Tree Hill knit pattern is approximately 30cm (12 inches) wide and is repeated around the circumference. The Small size cowl (2 repeats) is slim fit and quick to make, compared to the others. It’s quite efficient and just fits over the head.  It's an ideal size for a man or woman of small to medium body build. Regular size is as you see in the sample. It’s a bit bigger so reaches further down the chest and makes a more luxurious, cosy look. You can fold it at the front for extra coverage on a windy day. Large size is the length of the Peru Double Cowl which means you can wrap it twice around the neck or once around the neck and once up over the head to keep your ears warm. When wrapped only once it will lie down the front of the chest (or down your back = very dramatic) and is bound to turn heads like a work of art.

Buy the pattern

The design is simple enough to start learning Woven Floats Technique if you’ve not use it before and makes a lush, warm garment, ideal for mid-season through to mid-Winter. Feel free to message me with your colour choices if you want a second opinion. Buy this knitting pattern

Sweater pattern!

I knit this sweater top down with raglan increases in the round. There are increases on the top of the sleeves to give it the volume with a ribbed cuff to give it a balloon shape. The neckband is added at the end by picking up the neckband stitches. I did knit this to be slightly cropped, so finish the hem where you feel comfortable. This pattern was made for my size. My chest is 35”, and the sweater measures 39” around the chest. It’s my first time making a pattern, so I’m not confident enough to suggest how to alter this for different sizes! I’ll update this as I learn more.

Gauge 10 stitches x 13 rows = 4x4” swatch (POST BLOCKING)

Needles 10mm circular 9mm circular

Materials (Used in the finished pictures) Miss Babs K2 yarn 2 skeins Naked (480 yd) 1 skeins Lacewing (240 yd) 1 skeins Moss (240 yd) 960 yd total Any 3 color way in a bulky yarn should serve you well. I loved working with Miss Babs because of its color and strand consistency.

Stitches to Know K - knit K4B - knit 4 below K2tog - knit 2 together P - purl P2tog - purl 2 together KFB - knit front and back M1R - make 1 right M1L - make 1 left M1P- make 1 purl wise PM - place marker

Raglan Increases are worked on the right side of the work, at each side of a raglan-st. The raglan-st is a normal stitch and is worked as k1 on the RS and p1 on the WS. I placed stitch markers to either side of the raglan stitches to keep track. The increases are worked as: M1R: Using the left needle, pick up the loop between two stitches from the back, k1. M1L: Using the left needle, pick up the loop between two stitches from the front, k1 tbl. In the first row of the pattern I indicate this at raglan-st(M1L, PM, k, PM, M1R) for the left side and raglan-st(M1R, PM, K, PM, M1L) for the right side. Afterwards I refer to it as (M1L, K, M1R) or (M1R, K, M1L). Always ensure the markers are directly on either side of the knit stitch, not the increase.

Bubble stitch calls for multiples of 4+3, so I cast on 39 stitches on the 10mm needles. Do not join to knit in the round yet, because we first work a few rows flat to create the back.

Cast-On/Yoke CAST ON: 39 stitches with Color 1 (for me its Naked) WORKING FLAT (WS) Row 1: P across (RS) Row 2: k1, raglan-st(M1L, pm, k, pm, M1R), k8, M1L, raglan-st(M1L, pm, k, pm, M1R), k17, raglan-st(M1R, pm, k, pm, M1L), k8, raglan-st(M1R, pm, k, pm, M1L), k1 Row 3: P across Row 4: k1, M1L, k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to last st, M1R, k1. Row 5: P across Row 6: k1, M1L, k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to last st, M1R, k1. Row 7: P across Row 8: k1, M1L, k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to last st, M1R, k1. Row 9: P across Row 10: k1, M1L, k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to last st, M1R, k1. Row 11: P across Row 12: k1, M1L, k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to last st, M1R, k1. Row 13: P across There should be 97 stitches on your needles Join the work into a round on the next row Row 14: k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to end of row. cast on 6 new stitches at the end of the row. Join to continue knitting in the round, making sure that your work is not twisted. Row 15: K to the first raglan-st. The beginning of the round is now moved to this point. There should be 111 stitches on your needles.

The work should be divided as: 1 raglan-st, 22 stitches (left sleeve), 1 raglan-st, 31 stitches (back), 1 raglan-st, 22 stitches (right sleeve), 1 raglan-st, 32 stitches (front).

Work in stockinette stitch in the round, while at the same time working raglan increases on every other round: *(M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1L, K, M1R), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to marker, (M1R, K, M1L), k to end of row* On the next round, k across all sts.* Repeat from * to * a total of 6 times for 159 stitches.

Body Place the 34 sleeve stitches on either side on hold while you knit the body. I placed mine slipped through leftover yarn to secure them while I worked the body.

Cast on 4 sts at each underarm (total 99 stitches), with your preferred in-row cast on method. The beginning of the round in now under the left arm. Place a marker in the middle of the new sts at the left underarm to indicate the new beginning of round. This is the beginning of the bubble stitch pattern. This is the basic bubble stitch pattern: ** Row 1: Knit across Row 2: Knit across Row 3: Knit across Row 4: Knit across Row 5: Knit across NOTE: when changing yarn color, do so after this row, before starting Row 6 Row 6: Knit 3, * Knit 4 Below, Knit 3 * ** Work 3 repetitions in Color 1 (Naked) Change to Color 2 (Lacewing) on the third repetition for row 6 Work 2 repetitions in Color 2 (Lacewing) Change to Color 3 (Moss) on the second repetition for row six Work 3 repetitions in Color 3 (Moss)

This gave me a slightly cropped look, which I was going for. If you want a longer sweater, I think adding a pattern repetition in Color 2 (for a total of 3 repetitions) will give the desired length. Try on the sweater to determine if the length is right for you, before beginning to work the bottom rib. Change to the 9 mm circular needles and work 5 rows in rib (k1, p1). Bind off in established rib pattern.

Neckband RS facing, with the 8mm circular needles pick up and knit 69 stitches, starting at the transition between back and sleeve. The number of stitches to be picked up corresponds to approximately picking up 1 stitch per stitch along the neckline. In the sloped part of the neckline, you pick up 1 stitch for every row, corresponding to 10 stitches at either side.

Work 6 rounds in k1, p2 rib (k1, p2) (69 stitches) Work 1 round with *k1, p2tog* decreases until the end of the round (46 stitches) Work 6 rounds in k1, p1 rib Work 1 round with * K1, p1, M1P* increases until the end of the round (69 stitches) Work 5 rounds in k1, p2 rib. Bind off loosely in established rib pattern.

Fold the neckband down so the seam and bound off edge line up together. I crocheted the two seams together using a single crochet, but you could also mattress seam or sew these two together.

Sleeves Note that the sleeves are extra-long to give that voluminous look. They are knit using the Magic Loop technique.

Back to Color 1! Place the 34 sleeve stitches on hold for one of the sleeves back onto a 10mm circular needle. Pick up and knit the 4 stitches cast on at the underarm (total 38 stitches). The beginning of the round is in the middle of these 4 new stitches. The first 27 rows should be worked in stockinette, adding a one stitch increase every other row *Row 1: knit across Row 2: k1, kfb, k across* . . . Row 27: knit across There should be 47 stitches on your needles.

Refer to the body section for the bubble stitch pattern. Work 3 bubble pattern repetitions in Color 1 (Naked) Change to Color 2 (Lacewing) on the third repetition before row 6 Work 4 bubble pattern repetitions in Color 2 (Lacewing) Change to Color 3 (Moss) on the second repetition before row six Work 4 bubble pattern repetitions in Color 3 (Moss)

Change to 8 mm (magic loop or dpns). Next round: * k2tog, p2tog *, repeat from * to * until the end of the round (24 stitches). Work 5 rounds in a k1, p1 rib. Bind off in established rib pattern.

Work the other sleeve identically.

Finishing Weave in the ends and block. I use Soak Wash for my knitted items because it’s no rinse.

Congrats on your new sweater!

KNITTING MATH

How I'm taking back control of my yarn stash...

So, two weekends ago, I cleaned up my yarn stash and realized that I had a lot more yarn than I thought I did. A good spring cleaning can make you review the things that you've been keeping over the winter and, in some cases, make you question why you've been keeping them in the first place. This is where the knitting math comes in. As I was sitting on the floor, with my three year old son, cursing all the balls of yarn piled around me, I watched his eyes go wide and heard him reiterate out loud what I, myself, had been thinking by proclaiming very loudly, "Mommy there's so many balls!" I decided, then and there, that I would create a challenge for myself for over the summer to eliminate my yarn by finally knitting it into the garments I had intended it for. I would de-stash my yarn stash by only allowing myself to purchase a new skein of yarn after I'd fully knitted two. It seemed easy enough when I plotted it out in my head, but at the time, I didn't take into account that all the projects that I'm working on lately use fingering weight yarn. Do you know how long it takes to knit a ball of that!?! And I'm an English style knitter, and we aren't known for being the fastest even though I'd like to think I am. At this rate, I may never buy new yarn again!

So, starting today, June 1st, 2025, I am going to keep track of how many balls of yarn I knit up. I can buy one ball for every two that I turn into something, and at the end of August, I will have a grand total of all the skeins I've knit. Yes, most of my yarn is still a full skein, so that in itself presents a challenge. I have very little to no scrap yarn laying around. I guess that prevents me from cheating because I do, in fact, have to knit a whole ball and not just a leftover ball. Oh, the things I get myself into... Stay tuned... yarn elimination updates will be on the way!
