Introducing Knit Eco Chic</h1>
<div class="entry-content">
Knit Eco Chic, Lindsay Lewchuk’s knitwear and pattern design company, provides the highest quality hand knits and knitting patterns with a focus on organic, natural, socially responsible, sustainable, and alternative fiber yarns for the modern age. Formerly, Eco Chic Knits, Knit Eco Chic embodies the same three foundational philosophies:<br />
1. Use of eco yarns<br />
2. Knits that fit curves<br />
3. Unique and intricate patterns<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition to being a design company, Knit Eco Chic also serves as a call to action. Over the coming years, Lindsay hopes to be a source of information about eco knitting, eco knitting practices, and eco knitting resources. Follow her blog or join the Knit Eco<br />
Chic Ravelry Group to find resources for eco yarns and eco knitting.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are already a fan of Lindsay’s work, this rebranding will make it easier to find her. She is now “Knit Eco Chic” across knitting and social media platforms. All patterns published prior to 2014 under Eco Chic Knits will continue to be available through Knit Eco Chic and Lindsay will continue to offer pattern support under the new email address, <a href="mailto:knitecochic@gmail.com"><span style="color: #990066;">knitecochic@gmail.com</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
To celebrate the rebranding, Knit Eco Chic is pleased to release Fibonacci Drops Shawl (available on the <a href="http://knitecochic.com/patterns-2/2014-new-releases/fibonacci-drops-shawl/"><span style="color: #990066;">Knit Eco Chic website</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fibonacci-drops-shawl"><span style="color: #990066;">Ravelry</span></a>, <a href="https://www.patternfish.com/patterns/17084-knit-eco-chic-201401-fibonacci-drops-shawl"><span style="color: #990066;">Patternfish</span></a>, <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/accessory/fibonacci-drops-shawl/91792"><span style="color: #990066;">Craftsy</span></a>, and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/185183041/fibonacci-drops-shawl-knitting-pattern?"><span style="color: #990066;">Etsy</span></a>). Knit in lace weight Peruvian cotton and bamboo yarn from a socially responsible company, the Fibonacci Drops Shawl features the Fibonacci sequence squared.<br />

Social media is inundated with New Year’s resolutions
today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But instead of the typical
resolutions, I’d like to take a minute to provide a New Year’s Eco Chic Knits
preview! Hopefully the following information will help budget your yarn stash
without giving away too much!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I’m excited to grow into garments and have at least 4
planned for 2014: 1 skirt, 1 tank, and 2 vests. The garments will feature
structured lines and proportional design elements. For instance, for cables the
designs will be sized proportionally to the different graded sizes so as to
accentuate curves and maintain balance. I will also be publishing a number of
accessories. Nature continues to inspire the accessories, but plan to see
shawls and other accessories as well as cowls and scarves.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As for yarn brands, look for returns to Blue Sky Alpacas
Skinny Cotton, Worsted, and Multi Cotton, Galler Yarn’s Inca Eco, and Americo
Originals. Due to the plethora of recommendations in the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/eco-chic-knits/2037659/1-25">eco yarn
thread</a>, I’m looking forward to expanding the yarn brands I use. There is a
treasure trove of eco yarn resources for the finding. I’m excited about working
with new companies and hopefully indie producers as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Spring/ Summer designs will feature linen and cotton in
finger, lace, sport, and DK weight. Inspired by oceanic breezes, my first
design for spring will be a skirt in Americo Original’s Linen Tanguis with
accents of Quince and Co’s Sparrow. Look for a structured tank featuring cables
in a sport or DK weight organic cotton. Lace is a technique well matched to the
seasons, so I hope to include several accessories highlighting lace designs,
which may be enhanced with beads.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Fall/ Winter designs will feature organic cotton in DK,
worsted, and aran weights. Inspired by trees, bushes, mountains, valleys, and
hiking with Puddles, the accessory designs will feature simple stitches matched
with unique construction and complex designs with beads, cables, and bobbles matched
with simple construction. One of the aforementioned vests will feature S.
Charles Collezione’ Nepal – 100% organic cotton. Another vest will feature Blue
Sky Alpacas Skinny Cotton.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I’m dedicating time submitting designs to 3rd party
publications and hope you will soon find Eco Chic Knits in multiple venues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/indie-design-gift-a-long">2013 Indie Design
Gift-A-Long</a> was so energetically received, the wheels are already churning
for a 2014 event. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m also seeking out
eco indie dyers to do collaborations with, but this may run over into 2015.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
After a long look forward, it’s great to get a chance to glance
in the rear view for a second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
closing this preview, I’m pleased to recap Eco Chic Knit’s 2013 releases:</div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">All my patterns have used
local NZ yarns, but the only really eco one so far is Doublet, which uses <a href="http://www.skeinz.com/shop/View+by+Range+Name/heritage.html" target="_blank">SkeinzHeritage Organic Merino</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
beautifully soft and bouncy, and I will definitely be using it again. The
colour range isn’t huge at present, but I like what is available. I also have
two designs in the works using possum yarns. That is a slightly different
approach to being environmentally friendly, but it is meaningful to me (as well
as being gorgeous yarn).</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">At the moment I take
inspiration from all over - my published shawls all started from thinking about
different ways to create the shapes I wanted. Doublet came about because I had
an idea of what I wanted in a baby singlet and couldn’t find the right thing
anywhere. The design I’m currently working on started off with a stitch pattern
I liked, and I have a few design ideas from places I’ve been, and books I enjoy
reading. Anything goes, really.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Sweaters. I’m
someone who always feels cold and one of the great comforts about knitting is
being able to knit for myself cozy sweaters to bundle up in when I might be
otherwise freezing. Right now, in fact, it is -6F/-21C where I live, and I am
wearing multiple handknit sweaters. I honestly cannot imagine the possibility
of having too many wool sweaters. I also tend to enjoy working on larger
projects that take up to a month to finish, as they feel more satisfying to me.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">I feel really
lucky to have been a part of the GAL this year. It has been a great opportunity
to collaborate with other indie designers, as well as finding out about so many
amazing designs that I hadn’t seen before. During the sale period, I bought
quite a few patterns and I’m hoping to knit them for my holiday gifts this
year.</span></div>

no. I’m working on several designs that I’m really excited about, but the

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">In some of my

related accessories specifically for the cyclist who rides in the cold weather.
Over the years, I’ve knit various accessories (mittens, gloves, balaclavas,
hats, etc.) for myself as well as other cold weather riders, and have found
that some designs work much better than others. For example, hats with ear
flaps that can fit under a helmet. Or “glittens” to keep your hands warm while
still allowing you to use your hand brakes. Of course, function will only be a
part of it… since I tend to lean towards colorwork knitting, they will all have
cycling specific colorwork designs.</span></div>

I interned with <a href="http://earthues.com/" target="_blank">Earthues</a>, a natural dye company in Seattle, and used to naturally
dye yarn and fiber. I've knit with lots of unusual yarns- recycled wires, yarn
spun from soda bottle fiber, and aloo- a yarn made from <a href="http://www.nettlesoup.org.uk/nettle/nettlecloth.htm">nettle fiber</a>. I
knit a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Midnightsky/azalea-design" target="_blank">lace doily</a> in the nettle yarn- I am not sure I would
recommend it for that, since it is quite scratchy until it has been worked with
or washed quite a few times, but it looks fantastic! My favorite eco yarns come
from unraveling sweaters- especially cashmere, when I can find sweaters in a
thick enough yarn. </div>

out Earthues and oh my goodness, did you see those buttons!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know where I’m headed for my next button

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As far as “unusual”
fiber, I’d have to say milk yarn made from milk protein.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I first came across milk as a fiber when shopping
for a sweatshirt in sub-zero Toronto a few years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The absolute cashmere like softness enticed
me immediately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The warmth and coziness
compelled me to search out yarn made from milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I came across several brands, but as often happens when forging into

I’m here to debunk those claims and have photos to prove
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While wool is still the old-faithful
for warmth in freezing temperatures, if you’re allergic or simply looking for a
soft alternative, look no further than <a href="http://blueskyalpacas.com/yarns/worsted-cotton/" target="_blank">Blue Sky Alpaca’s organic worsted</a> and

Originally designed over a year ago, the Evergreen Sprig
motif was inspired by the blue spruce right outside my office window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its slight change of color to touch of steel
blue, made me ponder how to recreate its beauty in a pattern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Puddles, my Great Dane puppy, helped keep the inspiration at the forefront of my mind. His favorites are coniferous trees, and as resident branch manager, he rarely walks without carrying one in his mouth. Once designed, I knew I had to put it to the test
to see just how warm it really was.</div>

The Evergreen Sprig Cowl is available on <a href="http://www.ecochicknits.com/">www.ecochicknits.com</a>, Ravelry, Craftsy,
Patternfish, and Etsy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The advanced

pattern includes written instructions, charts, a glossary, and pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1 skein of each color is enough to create

Now the fun part of filming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I make sure to film when I’m home alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is nothing worse than being 4 minutes
15 seconds into a 5 minute clip when you hear, “Lindsay, can you…” being hollered
from the next room or worse, a door slam, dishwasher, washing machine/ dryer
groaning on.</div>

For the Northern City Girl Cowl videos, I had to make one
exception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was my second film day
attempt and Puddles was being such a good boy that when my director chose to get
up from the sofa, grab his toy, and mosey over to sit next to me, when I heard
the chew noises, I just left it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
background noise is too precious to get upset over.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Next comes post processing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use Adobe Premier Pro to edit the clips together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Except for my camera deciding it didn’t want
to film the audio the first day of filming, it went pretty smoothly this
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My trick is that I wait a 1 second
beat after a verbal mistake and the retake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then I can cut out the mistake without having to film from point
one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Visual mistakes a harder as I have
to remember my hand position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll see
a few places where the work is suddenly different, but I do try to note my hand
position and reset to that position when starting the retake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

When the pattern was selected over a year ago, I wondered
if this day would come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I watched the
thread on Ravelry for announcements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reviewed,
re-reviewed, asked my tech editor to review, and reviewed one more time, my
submission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then waited…</div>

Judith Durant, the editor, selected Cleopatra Scarf to be
an education in charts, so the written pattern was converted to 3 pages of
charts accompanied by a few written instructions for the cast on, bind off, and
tassels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

<strong>City Girl Cowl MKAL - How It Works:</strong><br />
The City Girl Cowl MKAL runs in the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/eco-chic-knits/topics/2665899">Eco Chic Knits Forum</a> September 1st - 21st. In order to participate in the prizes, your FO project must be submitted by September 19th in the City Girl Cowl MKAL FO Thread (which will be created in the Eco Chic Knits Group September 13th). Your FO will be a cowl with a unique technique measuring approximately 26”/ 66cm long by 5”/ 12.5cm wide.<br />
What you’ll need:<br />
<ul>
<li>1 <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/galler-yarns-inca-eco">Skein Galler Yarns Inca Eco</a> – Wine 100% organic cotton 3.5 ounces/ 100 grams 140 yards/ 128 meters Or suitable substitute. Testers have used both cotton and wool yarns of the same gauge with success.</li>
<li>US 8/ 5.5mm straight knitting needles or any size need to obtain gauge</li>
<li>US I-9/ 5.5mm crochet hook (for button hole)</li>
<li>US 13/ 0.75mm steel crochet hook (for beading)</li>
<li>130 beads (approximately 20 grams) Size 3 (or size needed for your yarn) Silver Lined Dark Amethyst Round Japanese Glass Seed Beads (optional) – available at <a href="http://www.fusionbeads.com/">www.fusionbeads.com</a> (Canadian participants, if you want to buy your beads in country, That Bead Lady in Newmarket, Ontario, carries 17 different colors of size 3/0 Japanese glass seed beads) If you use wool yarn, testers suggest using a lighter bead. The Galler Yarns Cotton handles the weight of the glass beads well.</li>
<li>1”/ 2.5cm button (or follow instructions to make a beaded button with left over yarn)</li>
<li>Yarn needle</li>
</ul>

<br />
Still not sure if this MKAL is for you? Here are some comments from my wonderful test knitters, who have the inside track on what you’ll be making, but are sworn to secrecy, so don’t even try to bribe them.<br />
“It’s fun to knit, and looks lovely!” <br />”I’d wear this one myself.” <br />”I’d like to do the cowl again.” <br />“I liked this design as soon as I saw… it, and love it even more now!” <br />“It was a lovely, fun pattern to knit - and I’m just about to wear it today.” <br />”<span>I</span> enjoyed doing this project even with my arthritic hands.” <br />“Absolutely loved this pattern and have another skein of yarn I want to use for a second one.” <br />“I read someone else started with the written instructions and then switched to the chart after a few rows. I did the same. For this pattern the chart just seemed simpler to me. Usually I prefer the written instruction.” <br />“I had fun.” <br />”I’ve started another cowl in a knitting worsted yarn; no beads ‘cause the yarn has sequins… I’m on row 8 already and know this one won’t take as long now that I have the pattern memorized!”<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: the below quotes are from tester associated with Galler Yarns. <br />“I got gauge dead-on.” <br />“This could be addictive - you could have the next hot thing here, like those… curly scarves everyone was knitting last year but better.” <br />“I am finding the metal needles a bit too slippery with this yarn… switching to bamboo.” <br />“This is a lot of fun - I thought the <span>unique technique</span> would be a pain, but they’re not.”<br />

On the yacht or lunch in the city, this Lake Breeze Tank
is designed to accentuate all your best curves… oh la la!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as a breeze highlights waves on the
lake, so the negative ease flatters every woman’s form. Diagonal lines meet
center mast drawing attention to the natural waist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point, the pattern mirrors drawing
the diagonal lines up and away towards the shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The unique stepped neckline draws the eye up
towards your face. </div>

Plan A:<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"> My intention
for this design was to release it in the spring and therefore it was named
"Spring Forward." The idea first came to me over the summer while
swatching with left over milky whey. I put it aside while I worked on other
projects, planning to return to it in January. Ha! If I only knew! I loved the
yarn so much that I asked for yarn support and Kollage agreed! Unfortunately,
January and February came and went and still no yarn had arrived. Mail tends to
be slow here in the mountains so I emailed Kollage again and a few weeks later
my yarn arrived...too late for a spring release. On to Plan B!</span></div>

Plan B, Part 2: Again, on my dad’s input, I broke the cardinal rule of symmetry! The bind off does not match the cast on, but I think it looks much better because it gives a natural top<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> and bottom
and makes the design pop more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
original bind off, when worn, was a little long and covered up some of the nice
lace detail as it fell naturally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
could have spent a lot of time fussing to get it to lay under, but in the end
the yarn shortage became a benefit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I did a shorter bind

was the result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Originally I planned to
do the repeat 3 times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, after
using up almost an entire skein and not being able to get close to around my

loved the pattern, but the width was not sensible for a button up cowl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would have slouched too much and thus

requiring only cast on, knit, purl, and bind off abilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each rendition will be unique as it entirely
depends on the tri-color variegated yarn you choose to knit with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Experienced knitters will be able to whip

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I spend a lot of time on ravelry.com chatting with other
designers, learning the ins and outs of being a designer, and discovering the commonalities that all good designs share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This brought to my attention Tech Editing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I first shied away from tech editing because, quite
simply, in my ignorance of what it was I thought it was only applicable to
graded garments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The learning curve was
so steep at the beginning of my life as a designer, that like grading, tech
editing got pushed to the back of my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Way back, in the dark spot where dust collects and the little grey cells
chill until the conscious mind reaches back, cleans them up and gives them
another look.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Last month, that is what the conscious mind decided to
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I started to research tech
editing/ editors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I searched through a few tech editors and landed upon
<a href="http://www.ktlvdesigns.com/tech-editing" target="_blank">Katherine Vaughan</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was available (a
rare thing for a tech editor with a good reputation)!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to see just what the process
entailed, so I sent “Off the Cuff.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

“Off the Cuff” is the first beginner level pattern I’m
releasing, so I thought it would make a good trial case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Katherine returned the pattern about a week
later with no less than 14 comments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here I thought the pattern was in good shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I quickly realized what Tech Editing is, it
is a study in minutia!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But still a
study in minutia with a purpose… to write as universally understood a pattern
as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pattern was usable in
its current state, but not stylized or universal. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Firstly, my major sin was a sin of omission that affected
metric users.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote only using US
standards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a Canadian, I really
should have known better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But alas,
living in the States for *ah-hmm decades, has made me a US standard snob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It reminds me of what C.S. Lewis wrote in
“Surprised by Joy” about contemporary views of generations of old –
“chronological snobbery.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Save for me it
“measurement snobbery.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeWMqKOT7hzhSYHfAW00oXkUNaTU233VO9Yvsy_9InbQICFXXCJIMjhyKzscNxUPU3RLN23E0Jwdgvz9r1Wi_j_GgSNpCS_voG2j_RyxCThzR623wB8M7c_pxaK8wg7mFmkj_pXeWMdtg/s1600/IMG_2961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeWMqKOT7hzhSYHfAW00oXkUNaTU233VO9Yvsy_9InbQICFXXCJIMjhyKzscNxUPU3RLN23E0Jwdgvz9r1Wi_j_GgSNpCS_voG2j_RyxCThzR623wB8M7c_pxaK8wg7mFmkj_pXeWMdtg/s320/IMG_2961.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Secondly, the problem of reading from the point of view
of knowing what you are intended rather than what you actually wrote also
reared its ugly little head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote the
directions “[k1, p1] repeat to end,” except the pattern runs over an odd number
of stitches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So technically it is
impossible to [k1, p1] to end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought
it was inferred that you would end on a k1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But no, infer nothing in pattern writing!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Finally, punctuation, in my writing I love to use commas,
ellipses, semi-colons, hyphens, dashes, anything and everything except
periods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently, this holds true in
my pattern writing too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hate periods,
since they represent the cessation of a thought and my thoughts tend to string.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alas, I yielded and followed the proper
format of placing a period at the end of each direction.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So with my mistakes fixed, I sent it back for one more
review.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time, it only came back
with 6 errors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I and metric must really
have been at odds when I was writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although I had added metric to the pattern, on one measurement reference, I
converted incorrectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I missed updating
one of those “[k1, p1]” sections, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
yes, one line of directions sneaked through without a period indicating cessation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In conclusion, self-editing is about as useful as asking
yourself if your hem is straight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
just doesn’t work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From here on out,
Tech Editing, Definitely!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Note: I’ll be sending my previously published patterns to
tech edited too and will update all the listings when completed.</div>

I figured it was high time I added some people to my
knitting photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like my
mannequin, but after looking at a lot of pictures I noticed the ones with
people are invariably better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
signed up for a <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/" target="_blank">craftsy</a> photography course and set to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, the season came before I
finished the class, but I was determined to implement what I had learned thus
far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sharing the lessons I learned
with all you other photography newbies… professional photographers enjoy the
laugh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing as Eco Chic Knits is still in its first business year
and the budget is tight, I ended up being the model.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I roped my dad into being the
photographer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hey, he took a class back
in the 70s, so he already knew more than I did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And think about it, who would you rather see in women’s knitwear? </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Lesson 1 – I read a lot of blogs and one suggestion was to
use props.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought this was a
fantastic idea, since I was shooting some winter cowls as well as fall
cowls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, beware of just what the
prop is adding!</div>

usable light lasted only about 45 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By the time the tank rolled around at the end, the sun was so bright; it

light was used up, my dad and I were scurrying around the yard (picture mice

Imagine if I were paying my dad for his time and these were

we ended up changing to a camera he was more familiar with and things went much
faster.</div>

By the way, this example also illustrates the need for
taking lots of pictures!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dad thought
lots was anything more than 5.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But after
reviewing the shots on the computer, I saw many more errors than I did looking

Walking through the stacks at <a href="http://www.romniwools.com/" target="_blank">Romni Wools</a>, I came across two
large boxes filled with <a href="http://www.estelledesigns.ca/images/estelle/Cloud%20Cotton/Estelle%20Cloud%20Cotton.htm" target="_blank">Estelle’s Cloud Cotton</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Salivating over the richly colored organic yarn, I picked through the
lot thinking of all the fall and winter cowls I could design.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hands picked up orange, red, and brown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just then a pattern popped into my mind and into
the bin the 3 skeins went!</div>

Flash forward several months and I’m once again digging

Challenging myself, I washed the orange, red, and brown
and started thinking of designs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
dreaming of Fall and the changing weather, the beauty that surrounds each day
in the mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crisp, cold mornings
and evenings accented with color on every tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How the seasons change reminded me of twists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trees inspired the cables.<br />

So the pattern was born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But the construction was completely foreign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried several attempts to achieve the
cabled braided cowl, but kept running into the same difficulty – I lost too much
length when I tried to braid during construction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought about doing short rows, but gawked
at the time it would take.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Instead I worked each section individually.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this lead to the dreaded pattern testing.</span></div>

I ended up knitting the pattern 3 times before coming to
a consensus on the proper length of each section.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One more time to check the lengths and I was
done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The yarn provided enough length to knit two “Fall Twist
Cowls” – as long as I swapped out the main color for a secondary color – and a
close to the neck cowl based on the Fibonacci Sequence – to be debuted at a
later date.<br />

To introduce Eco Chic Knits newest line, Eco Chic Knits
Baby, I’m hosting my first Knit-A-Long (KAL).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This KAL was inspired by my friend, Christine and her new baby,
Cyrus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, Cyrus spent the
first week of his life in the hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So this KAL is knitting baby hats for babies who aren’t able to move
directly from the womb into their home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you don’t have such a baby in your life, please consider joining the
KAL anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can knit the hat for
charity and send it to a women’s shelter or hospital!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">However, before it arrived at the store someone… uh-hmm… who will remain nameless… dropped it and the beautiful leaf-shaped porcelain button smashed to little tiny pieces on the stone floor. I immediately called over to the yarn shop where I original found the button, but since I bought the last one they were out and were unable to restock it. I was distraught and hit the net in search of a perfect or at least satisfactory replacement. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">I emailed independent button makers, contacted potters, and tried every avenue I could think of. One Etsy store had a great solution, but when I emailed the owner, they, too, were out of stock and in the process of relocating so they couldn’t fire another. A local potter said he was thinking of making buttons, but weeks after initially contacting him, he still hadn’t felt inspired to actually make them. During this time, my button-less piece was on display at Green Mother Goods, which was quite disconcerting to me, even though it got praised as a work of art!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Then one late night after hours of googling, I landed on <a href="http://naturebuttons.com/">Nature Buttons</a>. I was thrilled – she made custom buttons. What was even better, her buttons are Eco-Friendly, which fits in perfectly with my business plan! Regina, the button artist, makes her buttons from recycled clay… Reuse, Renew, Recycle. She offers a large variety of shapes, colors, and textures. She even creates custom designs buttons upon request.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span> </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">After a couple of e-mails back and forth, I’d settled on the style and texture of the leaf replacement button. A few days later my buttons arrived! Regina kindly included a couple of options as I wasn’t sure which color would exactly match. I see this being a great solution to the dreaded job interview question, what is your greatest weakness. Interviewer: “Lindsay, what is your greatest weakness in designing.” Me: “matching color.”</div><br />
