This is the pattern I am working on right now, Drachenfels by Mairlynd. (My progress will be noted below).
I found this pattern on Craftsy. This is an excellent site for crafters like myself. Great online classes for all different types of arts and crafts, patterns, ideas, etc. You can buy whole kits or just the patterns themselves, and not just knitting. Seriously, when I say all types, I mean all types. A sampling of some of their current classes:
- Cabinet Case Construction
- Food Photography
- Travel Sketching in Mixed Media
- The Art of Stir Frying
- Knit Faster With Continental Knitting
Craftsy was founded by 4 tech guys; John Levisay | Founder & CEO, Josh Scott | Founder & COO, Todd Tobin | Founder & CTO, and Bret Hanna | Founder & VP of Engineering. According to their “About Us” page:
“Craftsy was founded in the spring of 2010 by four tech guys who wanted to create a new high-quality approach to online learning, and it launched in May of 2011. Our founders hoped to create a convenient education platform that captured the magic of a live classroom, including interaction with an expert instructor and fellow students.
Some of the first months were spent building a video player that would deliver the kind of in-class experience they dreamed of. After the founders first gave wine tasting and economics classes a whirl, John’s mother-in-law, an avid quilter, suggested trying quilting instruction, and from there, it was history!”
Sites such as Craftsy really inspire me. I love learning new techniques and having a community of people to ask questions and share triumphs with! If you haven’t discovered this site yet, you really should!
So for the update on my progress…here is where I am at with the scarf. Setting a goal to have it done by the end of the month, and yes, it’s for me! (If my image is showing upside down, I apologize….for some reason is wants to post like that!)
