Kaolin Tunic -- Newest Published in Knitscene Winter 2015

There are more and more different Ethnic Styles on runways these days. The inspiration of this design came from the Han Zu women’s clothes in Qing Dynasty, China. 

I always like linen stitch. The characteristic of it is the slip stitch. That made me think of the connection between linen stitch and mosaic knitting. So I changed the color every two rows to make this beautiful Baby Breath pattern. It works much easier than it looks.

The sweater is worked from the top down. It is seamless. The sleeves and hip have a trumpet shape. All the increases are worked in pattern.

Pi Tunisian Coat

The newly published project: Peter Pan Pi Coat  Interweave Crochet Winter 2013

I like the Tunisian Crochet because of the way it makes the fabric look thick and rich.  The one drawback is that TSS always curls up.  So, I invented this pattern that will always lay flat and never curl up.  The stitch looks so much like the math PI, I named it the "PI" stitch. 

YARN: Plymouth Yarn Worsted Merino Superwash Kettle Dyed

HOOK SIZE: I/9 (5.5 mm) 14” Tunisian hook, I/9 (5.5 mm) 30” Tunisian cabled hook, H/8 (5 mm) standard hook.
