Whimsical Little Knits Collection

by ysolda on December 27, 2008

dressed!

The Poppy pattern is now available, I know that many of you were hoping to make her for Christmas and I’m truly sorry that that didn’t work out – but she’d make a wonderful ‘cheer up January’ gift!

She isn’t just available by herself though – you can also receive the Mousie and Poppy patterns right now by pre-ordering my new collection – Whimsical Little Knits. I thought long and hard about how to release a group of patterns as a collection without making you wait a huge amount of time between me finishing an individual pattern and putting them all together and I hope you like what I’ve ended up doing. As always I’d love your feedback. It’s kind of part pattern book / part subscription club so I think it should be fun.

Here’s a glimpse of the next pattern that will be released.

I think its an awesome idea! I love that you have pics of the future patterns and am really looking foward to checking them out… plus just giving me a pattern at a time increases the chances that I’ll get one done soon, rather than being overwhelmed with choices and frozen by indecision.

great idea – I love Poppy, and am also intrigued by the little hints of the others – especially the shawl. Can’t wait!

This is so wonderful!! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and I just love your patterns. Do you know how many patterns there will be total? (It looks like 10 in the pic, but I just wanted to know for sure.)

Thanks much,

^_^

Thanks Ysolda for such clever patterns. I gladly pre-ordered and am looking forward to knitting myself a little mousie and doll.

I like your idea of releasing the patterns one by one, then getting the hard copy once it’s all finished. It’s like having a mystery/KAL/Christmas morning all over again. I have something to look forward to.

What a great idea! I’ve already queued a couple of these patterns, so I’ll definitely be ordering the collection.

I’m trying to preorder/order the book (digital and print) but it’s not working! Is there another way to order? I’m able to put an individual pattern in my shopping basket, but not the book. Suggestions? I’m just simply charmed by your whimsical and beautiful patterns. maryskid on ravelry.
