Cuddly Cables Sleep Sack pattern is now available!

I had a sweet customer recently who asked if I could do a sleep sack for her baby-to-be, and make it "like Twisty Trousers." She had some other specific requests, so I put everything together and worked up a "prototype":


After a few little tweaks, I knit the customer's yarn (lovely soft Malabrigo!) into this:


The cables on the back turn into the shoulder straps, and I just love how it looks:



As I worked on these, I wrote the pattern, and after some help from my test knitters, it's ready for purchase at Ravelry!



I will have the Seller's Version (an inexpensive unlimited lifetime license) available at Their Own Knitted World when we stock again.

The Braided Britches pattern is coming soon!

On Thursday, May 13 at 9pm EDT, the Braided Britches pattern will be available through Hyena Cart! This pattern was originally based on my Twisty Trousers pattern, although I have developed it further than simply replacing the cable pattern. The pattern is knit in alternating columns of stockinette and braided cables, producing pants that are less fitted (though less stretchy) than Twisty Trousers.

I will also have the pattern available at Ravelry within the next week or so. Licensing will be available for Braided Britches separate from but at the same cost as Twisty Trousers licensing.

This Thursday will also mark the first anniversary of Their Own Knitted World! We will be having a special all-scrappies stocking, and past and future featured fiber artists will be joining us to stock yarn. I am stocking a medium pair of boyish (or GN!) cargo shorties:


If these aren't the perfect pair for your little one, check out the amazing scrappies being offered by the rest of the knitters!

"Do you have a pattern?"

That (and variations of that) is by far the most common question I'm asked about Twisty Trousers: "Do you have a pattern?" "Where can I buy your pattern?" "Will you tell me how to make those?" "Can I be a test knitter for you?"

Until recently, no I didn't have a pattern. My "pattern" was sketches and scribbles and half-legible notes and calculations in a couple of notebooks. But lately I've been working hard at writing the patten. At this point it's in the hands of my test knitters for a first round of testing. Depending on how that goes (I do have revisions to make already) then the pattern will be available for sale in the near future. Eventually I'll be offering a few different cottage licensing options as well for anyone who would like to make Twisty Trousers for sale/customs.
