Welcome...
to issue 157 of Knit Now!
It’s currently 30°C in my house as I write this, there
isn’t a breeze around, the sky is clear blue and I’ve
never wished for the lapping of the sea on my feet
more. Thankfully though, this issue allows me to dream
of such escapes with our explore the ocean theme.
42
As you leisurely flick through this stitch-filled tome,
we hope to transport you to warmer climes, where
the sky and sea are hues of azure, the sand is golden
and delicious underfoot and the sun’s glimmer ripples
across the waves, or maybe you’ll be taken to a fond
memory of a family seaside escape. Either way, the
makes you’ll discover in this edition are perfect creations for yourself or loved
ones who love the ocean and all its inhabitants.
We’ve got stunning lacework in the guise of a beautiful Fishtail top on page 39;
a must-make shawl on page 20, and one of my favourites, the Cromer cushion,
starting on page 18, which gives me such fond memories of a birthday escape
with my parents.
30
As always, we have a couple of sit-back and relax reads as we explore cabling
for all skill levels, and we also sat down with Jennifer Parroccini, who discusses
size inclusivity in the knitting world, a subject we feel strongly about here at
Knit Now HQ.
Rounding off this issue is a dose of nostalgia with another Jane Burns creation,
an ADORABLE Snoopy jumper for your own Charlie Brown or Lucy van Pelt with
the ever-essential snack pocket!
Until next time, happy knitting!

Ask the
EXPERTS
It’s time for our team of kni ers to tackle your trickiest questions!
Mel asks…
I’m knitting a super-chunky vest and I can get the stitches
onto the cable needle with no problem, but knitting from them
is quite tricky. Is there anything I can do to make it easier?
We adore this
Oakley sweater
from Rowan
Miche lle sa ys:
Cables can certainly be effective, but tricky
on chunky yarn! If you’re finding it difficult to
knit directly from the cable needle, you can
carefully transfer the stitches from the cable
needle back onto the LH needle once you’re ready to knit
them. Just be extra careful not to twist them.
Rachael asks…
Do you have any suggestions for keeping track when knitting
cable patterns? I have a beautiful but complicated Gansey
pattern and I’m struggling to follow the chart as the symbols
all look quite similar.
Mik e sa ys:
Cable charts definitely need a bit of
concentration! I like to use highlighter pens
to mark up the chart, colouring the stitches
in the charts and matching them to the key.
It also makes it a bit easier to follow the flow
of the cables, which is very handy.

Debbie says…
From an elegant, single rope
or a complex honeycomb or
plait, to twisted and travelling
stitches, these are all great
ways to add texture and give
structure to a garment.
Cables are essentially
combinations of knit and
purl stitches worked out
of sequence. They can be
worked in an endless variety
of sizes and combinations.
Cables are frequently worked
in knit stitches on a reverse
stocking stitch background.
The contrast between the
smooth knit stitches and
the bumpy, dense purl side
of the reverse stocking stitch
allows the cable pattern to
stand out clearly. Of course,
colour and stitch patterns
can also be incorporated for
a little extra bling!
1 Purl to start of cable.
Hold cable needle in RH,
slightly above and parallel
to RH needle and slip next
3 stitches onto cable needle
as if to purl (purlwise).
2 Hold cable needle with
stitches on to front of work.
With a hooked cable needle,
simply allow needle to drop
to front of work. For straight
or cranked cable needles,
support cable needle in RH
or very carefully poke needle
into fabric, taking care not to
split yarn or snag fabric.
3 With working yarn at back,
knit next 3 stitches from LH
needle as normal. Avoid a
hole at crossover point by
drawing up yarn quite firmly
after first stitch. These
stitches may feel tight and
quite difficult to work. Don’t
worry, this is normal!
4 Leave LH needle at back
of work. With cable needle
in LH, knit 3 stitches from
cable needle. Be careful to
keep stitches in same order
and don’t twist stitches when
lifting cable needle.
5 When 3 stitches from cable
Head to pages 66-70 to use

needle have been worked,
this completes the left-twist
cable. This type of cable may
also be referred to in some
patterns as a left cross, LH
or front-cross cable.
6 For a cable that twists to
the right, work as above but
hold cable needle to back of
work. Knit next 3 sts, then
knit 3 sts from cable needle.
Note how cable twists in the
opposite direction.
Alicia asks….
My friend asked me to knit them some vegan socks, so I’m
making some with a lovely cotton yarn from my local yarn shop.
They look great, but the cuffs are either too tight or too loose!
Is there anything I could do?
Tricia says:
Cotton is lovely for cool, comfortable socks but
it doesn’t have much elasticity which can lead
to baggy or tight cuffs. One option is to work
toe-up, knit a longer rib cuff and use a loose cast
off. Fold over the cuff and the stretch of the rib
should keep the socks up. Alternatively, knit with
a strand of shirring elastic alongside the yarn
and this should give a bit more springiness.

Jessie says…
“I live over 800km away
from the nearest ocean,
so I’m very rarely there.
This doesn’t stop me from
being fascinated with sea
creatures. I have always
loved reading books or
watching shows about them,
and especially visiting them
at the Vancouver Aquarium.
I was excited to try my hand
at knitting up some sea
creatures for this project,
and I hope you’ll enjoy it
as much as I did!”

has been allowed for this.

lengthwise, join row end edges
at one end, then join cast-on
to cast-off, stuffing as you go.
Sew tops of Legs side by side
to make a ring (with MC sides
towards top) and place around
Features: Using picture as a
guide, mark position of eyes
with two pins and embroider
eyes in black making a
vertical chain stitch for each
eye, then a second chain
stitch on top of first.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the
RH piece, then back to the left,
then the right again for a few
stitches, leaving the working
yarn loose.
Step 4: Pull the working yarn
tight. This will ‘zip’ the two
sides together, leaving an
almost invisible seam. Continue
working in this manner until
seam is complete.

Step 1: Lay your two pieces
down side to side, RS facing
you. Anchor your yarn in the LH
piece and then in the RH piece.
Step 2: Look for the bar that
runs between the edge stitch
and the second stitch from the
edge. Run your darning needle
behind this bar, from bottom
to top.

Just some of the patterns from
Ravelry’s ‘Hot Right Now’ section
KNITTING FOR
EVERY BODY?
This month, we’re
speaking to Jennifer
Parroccini about how
far we’ve come – and
how far we still have to
go – in creating an
inclusive community
which honours and
celebrates knitters of
all shapes and sizes
32
www.craftworld.com
What is size inclusion?
As knitters, editors and wearers
of wool, plus all of us here at
Knit Now, we are passionate about
size inclusion – but what does that
mean? In simple terms, we believe
that everyone deserves to enjoy
beautiful knitting patterns that look
and feel good to knit and wear. Size
inclusivity is the practice of equally
representing a wide variety of body
shapes and sizes, and it’s been gaining
a lot of traction in the knitting world
over recent years – but is there still
more we could be doing?
JenNifer ParRocCinI
A note on language
Talking about our bodies can
sometimes be a tricky thing,
particularly for those of us who
have grown up with negative
thoughts about our weight and
appearance. In this piece, Jen uses
the word “fat” as a description, the
same way we might use “tall” or
“brunette”. This can be jarring to
those of us who have been called
fat as an insult and you may prefer
words like curvy or plus-size. The
aim of using the word “fat” in this
way is to strip it of its power to
FEATURE
hurt and re-frame it as a neutral
description – it simply means “having
some fatty tissue on the body”, which
is neither negative nor positive.
Reading the research
“Every now and then,” Jen explains,
“I start thinking ‘whew, good thing
we’ve got size inclusivity mostly
solved except for a few jerks.’ But I
like a good reality check, so I do an
exercise every year. I pull the top
patterns from Ravelry’s 'Hot Right
Now', and see how inclusive the day’s
‘hottest’ patterns really are.”
Ravelry is a social networking site
for knitters and its 'Hot Right Now'
page is like Top of the Pops for
knitting patterns, showing which
designs are most popular around
the world. This year, Jen’s research
showed that in the top 44 patterns,
only 12% are for a size-inclusive
range. That’s just five patterns.
Which sizes are missing?
Much of the work that has already
been done to improve size inclusivity
in knitting has been focused on sizes
48” and above, which has sometimes
left those at the smaller end feeling
left out of the conversation. As a
designer, Jen says she usually aims
for a size range of at least 30-60”,
and ideally 28-66”. When she looked
in detail at this research, she found
that the sizes most likely to be
missing are actually at the smaller
end of the range.
“Prioritizing fat inclusion is a social
imperative,” says Jen. “Fat knitters
experience more marginalisation in
all parts of life and experience more
difficulty finding clothes that fit well
and are appropriate.” However, she
points out that they aren’t the only
people affected by a narrow size
range. “If you’re an adult professional
woman and you can only find clothes
that fit you in the teen section, you’re
going to face even more stigma and
marginalization in the workplace than
you already do. We all need access to
the ability to make our own clothes
if we’re going to truly be able to
turn our backs on fast fashion. Every
knitter deserves to participate in
the social aspects and joy of this art
form. So, while fat inclusion is supercritical, my definition of size inclusion
includes those knitters at the bottom
of the size chart too.”
So… who’s responsible?
“Every single one of us,” says Jen.
“I’ll be honest, I get frustrated when
I see beloved dyers consistently
creating samples that use patterns
from designers who don’t create sizeinclusive designs. It can make it feel
like all of the responsibility is on the
designer and on fat knitters. Social
change requires critical thinking and
responsibility from EVERYONE – in
this case, from knitters, yarn stores,
dyers, magazines, and designers.”
What we’re doing at
Knit Now
Jen’s research took just a small
snapshot of patterns which were
popular on one day in May 2023.
It’s our job here at Knit Now to make
sure we bring you inclusive patterns
every month of the year. Since issue
90, all of our original patterns have
been graded following the Craft Yarn
Council’s sizing standards, which
span a 28-62” bust. These patterns
are checked by expert technical
editors to make sure the grading
is up to the standard you should
expect. At the end of the day, all we
want is for you, as the reader, to feel
comfortable, happy and welcome
within the pages of Knit Now, and
including a decent range of sizes
is the least we can do for you, our
amazing readers. Now, go forth and
knit some beautiful jumpers!
JEN’S TIPS
FOR SPOTTING
AN INCLUSIVE
PATTERN
1 The sizes are graded evenly
This shocks me every time I see it, but
sometimes we’ll see the small end of the
scale graded on a 2” grade (so, to fit 30”,
32”, 34”, etc) but the largest sizes on a 4”
grade (so, to fit 40”, 44”, 48”). Nothing says
“I don’t care about the fit for fat bodies”
quite like offering them fewer choices and
assuming they won’t care or notice.
2 Shaping over fit
Ever seen a raglan where every size works
the same exact increase round at the same
exact rate? That will yield a dramatically
different fit for different sizes. While this
shaping often will fit sizes 32”-38”, the
smallest sizes will be too shallow in the
armhole and too narrow in the neck. The
largest sizes will be far too deep in the
armhole, and far too wide in the neck. No
matter what construction, a pattern that’s
designed to fit well will need variety in the
shaping instructions to achieve a good fit.
3 Testing, testing…
Many designers run a “test knit” before
the pattern is published to see how it
works out for different sizes – but watch
out for tests that have excluded fat
knitters. My peeviest pet peeve? Telling
plus-size knitters they only need to knit
the yoke or one sleeve. If a rule is good for
one kind of knitter, it’s good for all kinds of
knitters. Important things could be missed.
4 Fudging it with ease
If the pattern says it can fit with 2-10”
of ease, with an 8” difference between
each size, knitters aren’t all going to be
able to find a size that fits well. I find that
large ranges of ease are usually dishonest.
Sweaters depend on an underarm that is
reasonably close to the body to get a good
fit. A range of 2-10” is an 8” swing, about
three sizes (if I have a 44” bust, that means
I could choose finished measurements 46”,
50”, or 54”). If all three of those sweaters
will genuinely have a deep enough armhole
for me, that usually means there’s too much
play in the underarm and that bad boy is
going to slip down the back immediately.

CONQUERING
CABLES
To celebrate the release of the brilliant
new book 100 Essential Knitting Stitches
by Susie Johns, we’re sharing seven
simple steps to perfect cables
1
The Nicest
Needles
Metal cable needles can be
handy for quick knits, but if
you’re using a slippery yarn, use a
bamboo needle to avoid dropping
stitches. Experiment with different
shapes of cable needles to find out what
works best for you – they can be straight
or with a kink in the middle, maybe even
curved like a shepherd’s crook.
Magic Markers
3
Stitch markers really are a knitter’s
best friend when it comes to cable
patterns! Place a marker between
each pattern repeat to help you
keep your place. If you have some lockable
markers, pop one at the end of every 10th
row to help you keep count of rows too.
64
www.craftworld.com
2
Yummy Yarn
As with any knitting project, finding the right yarn
for a cable knit is crucial. The key property you’re
looking for is stitch definition – you want to be able
to see those lovely cable stitches you’ve created!
A lovely smooth, round, bouncy wool yarn is often the go-to for
cable knits, but you can experiment with adding a lovely light
mohair yarn such as Rowan Kidsilk Haze to add some fluffiness
without losing definition.
4
Keeping
Count
Keeping count of which
row you’re on when
knitting cables can be
tricky, but here’s a little tip – place
the tip of your needle at the hole in
your cable (where it twists). That is
your cable row. From there, you can
count rows up or down.
EXPERT GUIDE
QUICK CABLES
TO TRY
5
Chain Cable
This cable, worked over nine
stitches, twists to the right and
resembles a length of chain.
Cast on nine stitches, plus an even
number of extra stitches for the reverse
stocking stitch background.
Row 1 (RS): P2, T5R, p2.
Row 2: K2, p2, k1, p2, k2.
Row 3: P1, T3B, p1, T3F, p1.
Row 4: K1, p2, k3, p2, k1.
Row 5: T3B, p3, T3F.
Row 6: P2, k5, p2.
Row 7: K2, p5, k2.
Row 8: As row 6.
Row 9: T3F, p3, T3B.
Row 10: As row 4.
Row 11: P1, T3F, p1, T3B, p1.
Row 12: As row 2.
Rows 1–12 form the pattern;
repeat these rows until the work
is the desired length.
6
Here are three simple stitch patterns
by Susie Johns to help you warm up
your cable muscles:
Wave Ribbing
This quirky stitch produces a
wavy ribbing with the lateral
stretch of a conventional ribbed
fabric. It would look good as an all-over
pattern on a skinny jumper or could be used
to make a pair of legwarmers, wrist warmers
or a beanie hat. The cable twist does not
require a cable needle.
Cast on a multiple of three stitches, plus
an even number of extra stitches if you
are adding a reverse stocking stitch
background. (Instructions are given for the
wave ribbing only.)
Row 1 (RS): *P1, CR2R; rep from * to end.
Row 2: *K1, p1, k1; rep from * to end.
Row 3: *CR2R, p1; rep from * to end.
Row 4: *K2, p1; rep from * to end.
Row 5: *K1, p2; rep from * to end.
Row 6: As row 4.
Row 7: *CR2L, p1; rep from * to end.
Row 8: As row 2.
Row 9: *P1, CR2L; rep from * to end.
Row 10: *P1, k2; rep from * to end.
Row 11: *P2, k1; rep from * to end.
Row 12: As row 10.
Rows 1–12 form the pattern; repeat these
rows until the work is the desired length.
7
Woven Cable
This basketweave fabric is
relatively easy to achieve
and has a simple all-over
cable pattern. You will need
a cable needle for this. The fabric
is very thick and spongy and has
very little stretch. The back is neat,
making it perfect for scarves.
Cast on a multiple of four stitches.
Row 1 (RS): *C4F; rep to end of row.
Row 2: Purl.
Row 3: K2, *C4B; rep from * to last
2 sts, k2.
Row 4: Purl.
Rows 1–4 form the pattern; repeat
these rows until the work is the
desired length.
Abbreviations
T5R (twist 5 right): Sl 3 sts onto CN

“Dolman upper sleeves
wing out from the hem,
creating couture lines
with casual comfort.
Straight lower sleeves
delightfully counterbalance
the roomy ease of this
crew neck pullover.
Cleo is designed with an
elaborate central cable
that sits on an Irish Moss
st background, combined
with columns of two smaller
cables on the sides. The
sleeves have the two smaller
cables at the centre. ”

Worked flat in pieces from
the bottom up, this sweater
features Snoopy worked from
an intarsia chart. Use separate
ends of yarn for each section
and cross yarns at colour
changes to prevent holes. Add
the black outline afterwards
using duplicate stitch to keep
the intarsia simple. The lower
part of the kennel is worked as
a separate piece and sewn on
afterwards. Add Snoopy’s nose,
ear and speech bubble for the
final finishing touches!

Jane’s tips
I recommend that you work
the black details using
Swiss darning to keep the
intarsia nice and simple.
Have fun and turn the
kennel into a pocket. Leave
the sides open and attach
top and bottom only. Note:
The pocket will not be very
deep on the smallest size.
Block your pieces before
you add any of the applique
pieces or embroidery, it
makes it so much easier!
This sweater has a nice
close-fitting neck, be
careful not to cast off
too tightly. I highly
recommend using
Elizabeth Zimmermann’s
sewn bind-off.

Your guide to… sewn cast-off
This cast-off method is good
for garter-stitch fabrics, will curl
less when used on stocking
stitch and has good elasticity.
If it does need undoing,
however, each stitch has to be
‘unsewn’, not simply pulled
back like other cast-offs.
Step 1: Cut the working
yarn, leaving a tail three or
four times the length of the
knitting. Thread the cut end
onto a blunt bodkin (knitters
or tapestry needle).
Step 2: With the work in LH,
insert the bodkin into the first
2 sts on LH needle, as if to
purl. Pull the yarn through,
drawing up snugly but not
too tight.
Step 3: Take the bodkin back
into the first stitch, going from
left to right, front to back. Pull
the yarn through.
74

KNITTING SKILLS
If you’re a new knitter or returning after a break, here’s our guide to some
of the most common stitches used in this issue
Knit (k)
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
left to right into front of next st.
Step 2: Wrap yarn clockwise
around RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off
LH needle. 1 knit st has
been made.
Step 2: Wrap yarn
anti-clockwise around
RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off
LH needle. 1 purl st has
been made.
Purl (p)
Step 1: Insert RH needle
from right to left into front
of next st.
Grafting
Divide sts equally between
two needles. Cut yarn, leaving
a long tail, and thread onto a
darning needle (DN). Insert
DN p-wise into 1st st on front
needle and pull yarn through.
Insert DN k-wise into 1st st
on back needle and pull yarn
through. *Insert DN k-wise
into 1st st on front needle and
slip the st off needle. Insert
DN p-wise into next st on
front needle and pull the yarn
through. Insert DN p-wise into
1st st on back needle and slip
this st off the needle. Insert
DN k-wise into next st on back
needle and pull yarn through.*
Rep from * to * until all sts
have been worked.
SKP or ssk?
There are lots of different ways to work a left-leaning decrease
but we like the ‘improved ssk’ method (shown opposite) best
because it gives a neat-looking decrease. However, you can
always change this for an ‘SKP’ or ‘sl1, k1, psso’ decrease
if you prefer and your pattern will still work.

www.craftworld.com
Mattress st
End to end: Lay pieces RS
up and together. Thread
yarn onto darning needle
(DN). Secure two corners at
RH edge. Working from right
to left, *insert DN under the
‘V’ of the next st in top piece,
pull gently, insert DN under
the ‘V’ of the opposite st in
bottom piece, pull gently;
rep from * until seam
is complete.
Side to side: Lay pieces RS up
and together. Thread yarn onto
darning needle (DN). Secure two
corners at RH edge. Pull apart
slightly so you can see the
‘ladder’ of horizontal strands
between columns of sts. Working
from right to left, *with DN, catch
first ‘rung’ of ladder on RH piece.
Catch the opposite ‘rung’ on LH
piece and pull gently until the
two edges meet; rep from *
until seam is complete.
THE BASICS
Yarn over (yo)
Between knit sts: Start
with yarn at back. Bring yarn
forward from back to front
between the needles and
back over the RH needle.
Between purl sts: With the
yarn at the front of the work,
take it from front to back over
the top of the RH needle,
continue round, under RH
needle, and hold to front
ready to purl next st.
Between a knit and a purl st:
Start with yarn at back. Bring
yarn forward between the
needles, take from front to
back over the top of the RH
needle, round RH needle and
hold to front to purl next st.
Slip, slip, knit (ssk)
Step 1: Insert the RH needle
into the next st k-wise, then slip
it onto the RH needle without
knitting it.
Between a purl and a knit
st: Start with yarn at back.
Take yarn back over top of
RH needle and then bring it
between the two needles so
that the yarn is not at the
back of the work. Knit next st.
Make one (m1)
Step 2: Insert the RH needle
into the next st p-wise, then
slip onto the RH needle. You
have 2 slipped sts on the RH
needle, 1 slipped k-wise, 1
slipped p-wise.
Step 3: Insert the tip of the LH
needle from left to right up into
the front of the two slipped sts
(the RH needle is behind the LH
needle). Knit these two sts tog.
Step 1: Insert LH needle
from back to front below
the strand between the two
needles, lifting the strand
onto the LH needle.
Central double decrease (cdd)
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
front to back into next 2 sts
on LH needle. Slip these two
sts k-wise tog onto RH needle
without knitting them.
Step 2: Knit the next st on
LH needle. Note that the
two slipped sts are sitting
unworked behind the st you
have just knitted.
Step 3: Insert the tip of the
LH needle from left to right
into the front of the two
slipped sts and lift the two
slipped sts over the knitted st.
Step 2: Holding working yarn
tensioned with LH fingers, hook
left thumb under working yarn
from back to front. Insert the
tip of the needle into front of
loop on left thumb. Tail yarn
is still held tensioned in RH
at this point.
Step 3: Use RH to bring tail
yarn up under needle, from
right to left. Take it between
thumb and needle, over the
top of the needle, and hold
tensioned to right. You should
wrap the yarn clockwise around
the needle as if to knit.
Step 2: Insert the tip of
the RH needle from front to
back into the front of the
new loop on the LH needle.
Knit this st.
Long-tail cast-on
Step 1: Make a slipknot,
leaving a long tail of yarn
approximately three times the
length of the cast-on edge.
Place slipknot on needle and
draw up. Hold needle in RH.
Step 4: Lift loop on left thumb
over tip of needle, remove
thumb and draw up working
yarn. Two sts on RH needle
(slipknot counts as one st).
Repeat steps 2-4 until number
of sts required has been cast on.

Sheep of the month
THE CHEVIOT
BREED
Fifth-generation rare & heritage breed farmer,
Amy brings you an informative guide to the
Cheviot variety
Sheep breed name (in full): Cheviot
including North Country, Border
(South Country)
Latin name: Ovis aries

ORIGINS
Recognized as early as 1372 in the
Northumberland region of the UK on
the Scottish border, they are believed to
have descended from sheep that swam
ashore from a shipwreck of part of the
Spanish Armada.
Brought to the counties of Caithness
and Sutherland in northern Scotland
in 1791 by Sir John Sinclair to develop
the North Country Cheviot breed, which
formed its own registry in 1912.
The North Country Cheviot is said
to have used the English Leicester
(Leicester Longwool) to improve the wool,
overall size and rate of maturity, as these
sheep are roughly twice the size of the
Border Cheviots.
They are still commonly found across
the UK, Australasia and the United States
and are a favourite of shepherds for their
excellent bothering abilities, ease of care,
their resistance to hoof rot, fly strike and
parasites as well.

GET TO KNOW AMY!
TRAITS
YARN
The breed is very distinctive, with small
‘rabbit’ ears, white wool-free faces and
legs and an alert expression. Black hooves
and muzzles, a Roman nose and a dense
fleece are also prominent characteristics.
The sheep have adapted well to both the
windswept terrain of the hills of Scotland
as well as the cold, wet winters and hot,
dry summers of Australia.
Their offspring are vigorous at birth
and have a high survival rate in these
conditions. Depending on the breed, the
ewes mature to 120-160 lbs and the
rams to 160-200 lbs.
Due to the helical nature of the wool
staple, Cheviot wool is wonderful for
hard-wearing items. It’s micron count
of 27-33 makes it good for next-to-skin
wear as well.
With a 3-5” (and sometimes much
longer) staple length, it is excellent for
knits requiring resilience and strength,
such as socks and outerwear.
It’s also great for those learning to spin,
as it is a very forgiving fibre, longer stapled
and accepting of inconsistencies in twist
without breaking or pulling apart. The
Cheviot and its wool are quite delightful!
www.craftworld.com
I’m the fifth generation on our current
farm, where my family has been
raising sheep within a five-mile radius
of Southwestern Pennsylvania for
almost 300 years.
I took over the flock in 2002,
following my great-uncle’s illness,
and moved into the field of rare and
heritage breed livestock in 2008.
My first sheep were Cheviots, which
I added to our existing commercial
crossbred flock in the early 90s and
slowly transitioned to a primarily
Cheviot flock soon after that. I started
my own wool company in 2012 and
never looked back.
The thing I love most about my job
is introducing others to the joys of
rare and heritage breed sheep and
helping them to explore types of wool
they never knew existed. There’s a
wide, wide world of wool just waiting
to be explored!
My love of rare and heritage breeds
has gone to another level, as in 2019,
what started as a trip to the UK to visit
friends I’d met online, has developed
into our upcoming 2024 Rare Breeds
Trek of the UK to explore how rare
breed sheep and their shepherds
live. As more details come, I’ll be
documenting my travels here for you
to follow, so watch this space!
DO YOU KNOW?
The Cheviot crimp is helical,
making it extremely resilient

SCARF
This textured scarf is delicious to
look at and to make!
The textured pattern is created
by knitting every sixth st six
rows below and catching the
loose strands in the stitch.
This creates a 3D effect that
is pretty from the right side as
well as from the wrong side.
The scarf is framed by a simple
garter stitch border.

Zigzag
COWL
This versatile accessory is the perfect size for keeping
in your handbag in case of a chilly day
This is a simple cowl
knitted in the round that’s
quick and easy to make.
It features an easy zigzag
motif that uses the stranded
colourwork technique.
When working the chart try
keeping the highlight colour,
Indigo (B), on your left with
the main colour, Sage (A),
on your right. This is known
as yarn dominance that
allows the correct colour to
appear the boldest but also
keeps the floats at the back
of the work tidy and
consistent throughout.
Start knitting…
With A, cast on 96 (120) sts.
Join to work in the rnd, being
careful not to twist. Pm to
mark beg of rnd.
Rib Rnd: *K2, p2; rep from
* to end.
Rep Rib Rnd a further 3 times.
Next Rnd: Knit.
Rep this rnd until piece
measures 7 (9.5) cm from
cast-on edge.
Work Zigzag pattern once
in full from chart or written
instructions as follows,
repeating sts 16 (20)
times around.

Break A.
Next Rnd: With B, knit.
Rep this rnd until piece
measures 16.5 (21.5) cm
from cast-on edge.
Rep Rnd 1 four times.
Cast off in rib.
Take care when casting off
not to pull the yarn too tight,
this will reduce the elasticity
for the finished edge. To
avoid this, some knitters
choose to cast off in a
needle one size larger than
the working needle.
Finishing
Weave in ends and
block to shape.
