I’m constantly surprised by the number of quality designers popping up on Ravelry. Here’s a sampling of the latest…
yellowcosmo – Her Ginkgo Collection with the contrasting color stems really drew me in and I can imagine the stole done up in a variety of color combos. And that differently-shaped leaf is a breath of fresh air.
Anna Dalvi – The strong lines in her Fields of Malachite shawl from Ancient Egypt in Lace and Color uses twisted stitches and symmetry to make a striking shape. At almost 100 accessory designs she’s impressively prolific. How is it that I’ve never heard of Anna?
What about you? Any new-to-you designers? Or designers that fly under the radar that deserve a little more attention?
I’ll catch you on the purl side.
Woah, I really like Yellowcosmo’s patterns, that first one is just amazing. Thanks for sharing! I haven’t really seen many designers I like lately, I tend to just click onto interesting patterns via Ravelry searches…
That Ginko Shawl is really clever. I like how she has knitted “outside the lines.”
I like Anna Dalvi’s designs. I’ve just taken a look over on Ravelry and her designs are beautiful. They’re quite different to the usual shawl designs that seem to do the rounds.
I see we both have fallen for yellowcosmo’s new design, gorgeous isn’t it! Lovely post and more to add to my favorites
Thanks for the intro to some new designers Jody. I have the first version of Ginkgo and took a look at the new collection this week also. Amazing stuff!
Another up and coming designer whose patterns I like is Amanda Reed. Simple enough for the beginning knitter but interesting enough for the pro.
