Instagram Live with Gauge Dye Works and Andrea Rangel September 2023

Our Design Process

Catherine and I had a live conversation about how we developed the yarn and pattern for our August club and we’ve got it up on YouTube now so you can watch just the parts you want with those closed captions that I always appreciate. (If you don’t see the captions yet after clicking on the “CC” button under your video, just wait a little longer. They’re automatic and can take a day or so to populate.")

Some topics we cover in our conversation are:

  • recap of the previous two club patterns and yarns

  • revealing the cowl design!

  • project development, including how we landed on the number of “whitecaps” and the colour scheme

  • how it works to substitute yarn with this project

  • my new book, KnitOvation

Enjoy!

If you’re into ocean-themed motifs, you won’t want to miss KnitOvation, especially if you like colourwork. It includes motifs like nautiluses, crashing waves, crabs, shells, and tentacles emerging from the deep! And one of the projects in the book is called Nautilus Mitts.
