Giftalong 2020 has just begun!

 


What is Giftalong 2020?

Now in its eighth year, the Indie Designer Giftalong is a celebration of independent knit and crochet designers combined with a massive make-along to encourage knitters and crocheters to have fun together while they get their holiday gift crafting done. The event mainly happens on Ravelry, but this year more will be happening on Instagram to support those who cannot use Ravelry safely.

Here is a link to the Indie Design Giftalong Group on Ravelry where you can find details on the kick-off pattern sale, view the tremendous list of participating designers, and learn how to join in on the make-alongs. Fun games, friendly chatter, and prizes galore to encourage you through your 2020 gift making right through the end of the year!

Here is the link to the Instagram Giftalong Account where you can find details on how to participate if you are not on Ravelry.

I have been a participating designer in the Giftalong for eight years in a row. This year I am offering 18 patterns which I sell on Ravelry with a 25% discount using the code giftalong2020 through November 30, 11:59 EST.

Please know that there are hundreds of designers offering thousands of patterns with the same discount code, and that you can participate in the make-alongs after the sale (through the end of the year) using any of the participating designers (not for free) patterns.

Happy Giftalong2020!!!

Contorta

Hello there!

2020 has been the worst. 

I am still here (in my own quiet way) just being me.

I do hope that you have been spared the worst and you are also able to just be you.

I did not yet post to my blog about Contorta...



I love this top over (over the top) photo.

Beautiful depth.

This was my "pine tree story" which was one of 11 "modern, minimalist" patterns featured in Issue 2 of Making Stories Magazine. The magazine was released in October 2019. I now have the rights to the design.  
 
This pattern will be one of 18 that will be offered in my Ravelry store at a 25% discount from Nov 24 to Nov 30 2020.

Thank you for reading and sorry it has been a while.........
