Woodins Pattern in Knitty!

I am so excited to announce that I now have a pattern published in the Fall 07 issue of Knitty! It’s for the mysterious forest creatures known as Woodins, who live in fallen trees in the thickets of Central Park. It features a knitted hollow log with spooky eyes for the Woodins to hide in. I hope you enjoy the pattern!

A big thank you to Amy for encouraging me to submit a pattern to her fabulous Knitty. And big thank yous to my mother-in-law Bonney for testing and my good friend Makiko for taking the gorgeous photo above. And one more thank you to Amy for sneaking the Woodins into the banner of the issue (take a good look at the right side)!

As a summertime knit, Bob is made of cool nylon yarn, but you can make him out of almost any yarn you like. The pattern is knitted in the round on double-pointed needles. Continue reading “Free Pattern: Bob”
