We couldn’t end our Game Day Cardigan KAL without talking to
its designer, Donna Estin! She shares with us her inspiration for
the sweater and clever little details incorporated into the
pattern. Donna also tells us about the Boho Lace Vest from
Transitions: Lace Patterns, drawing inspiration from the runway,
TKGA’s Master Hand Knitting Certification, and enabling knitters to
make their projects their own!
Plus, Lee and Stacey talk about our new yarn Journey Tweed and
two new pattern collections, Filled with Joy and Transitions!
