(doesn’t my sister have pretty hair?)
My bat shawl pattern is available in the new AntiCraft.
I knit this last summer. It was one of the secret projects I worked on on my road trip. While I knit it over the summer, I didn’t finish writing the pattern until about a month ago, at that’s the pattern I was referring to in my post at the beginning of this year.
It all started with the swatch of the bat motif in the Walker Treasury Project. As you can see, the first comment was mine, and the idea came to me pretty much immediately.
This pattern probably won’t be as widely used as Foliage, but I am still psyched to get it published. The Anticraft is obviously the only suitable home, and I’m really glad that they liked it!

Moss stitch is similar to seed stitch, both functionally and how it is worked. It can be used as a “plain” panel between cables. Like seed stitch, it can be used to emboss designs on a field of stockinette. It can be used as an all-over pattern for such things as berets and jackets. It can get a bit tedious to work, but the results are worth it. Since it has an equal number of knits and purls in each row it tends to lie flat.

Today’s swatch is Fir Cone Lace, which I added to the WTP a very long while ago. I chose to revisit it this week because it is the lace pattern featured in the ever-popular Shetland Triangle, which I just started today.
I’ll be using a Cherry Tree Hill mill end that I got from my awesome SP Fiberfool more than a year ago, and I’ve been wondering what to make with it ever since. I’ve always thought of this color as “spruce” so a pattern with Fir Cone Lace seemed perfect!
It is coming along nicely so far.
