Fall is Falling Cowl: A new knitting pattern
Reader
So much has happened since my last email. The biggest thing is that my family moved and we purchased our first home. My husband accepted a new job he is the new lead pastor at a church out side of New Castle, Indiana. I have been busy packing, and unpacking, making sure my girls are settled and all the other things that come with moving. I finally feel like I can get back to my normal designing schedule.
You are probably saying "but its a crochet pattern that should be next." I know. I had this one already done and written up, so I decided to just get this one published, so I could just get myself back in the schedule of working.
Welcome the newest knit pattern the Fall is Falling Cowl. I wanted an Autumn version of the Just a Posy Cowl. It follows the same concept of throwing a bunch of leaves in the air, and when you look up this is what you see. I really struggled with color for this one. I started one version for it that had more auburn colors in it, but it looked so much like the "pizza couch" pattern from my childhood it made me shudder. haha. My sister and I had a good laugh about it. I just could not bring myself to finish and started a new one with the colors you see above.
Where to find the pattern
This pattern is on Ravelry. If you want it on another platform let me know and I will get it listed for you. Its on sale this week for $3.00 and that price will go up in 2 weeks.
As always, Thanks for all your support and patience while I get acclimated in my new home.

Reader It doesn't seem possible that the cold weather is just around the corner. I wanted to get this pattern out to you early so you could have it finished before you really needed it. This is a stranded knit pattern with a chart and instructions to make this beautiful cowl. This time I decided to make it with a DK weight yarn for the extra squish and warmth and I'm so glad that I did. It uses 200 grams of yarn. Unfortunately it uses 110 grams of the background color so you need 3 skeins...
I wanted to jump on real quick and let you know my birthday sale starts today. All patterns are 25% off in both my ravelry and Etsy shops all weekend. Help me celebrate my birthday. Shop my work Ravelry: Designs by Julia Schwartz
Reader I can't believe the final animal sock pattern is finally here. I reworked this one a few times. I wanted to get it just right. I think these might be my favorite. I love the floating bubbles and just how happy the socks look. I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I have. If this is your first time seeing the other socks be sure to check them out on Ravelry. You can purchase the Go Fish Socks or any of my other patterns in my Ravelry shop. Ravelry: Go Fish Socks pattern by Julia...
