Roses Are Red


The Spring Issue of Knitcircus magazine is out!
Inside you will find 2 little surprises from me.

One is this little pattern I contributed...



The Roses Are Red headband for little girls.

This little headband is so fun and quick to knit up! It's a perfect way to use up all of those little extra balls of leftover sock yarn that we all have laying around. 

I used Louet Gems Fingering Weight yarn for this sample and I really enjoyed how it worked up. 
There is also a significant color range available, so you have many options for creating a unique, creative piece.

I've been knitting up headbands for my daughter for years now, its only recently that I decided to write up some patterns. They are such a fun, cute little accessory and my little one has always received many compliments when she wears them.

This pattern is available in the Knitcircus Spring Issue pattern collection which is available for purchase HERE.

I really enjoyed this issue, there are so many cute patterns! I know you will too.


Besides the headband pattern.. you will also find this 6 page spread about Never Not Knitting!

I had the awesome privilege of being interviewed by Jaala for this issue. 
So much fun! I hope you enjoy reading it! 

I'm sure all of you long time readers will recognize some of these photos. :)



You will find the interview HERE.

Jaala, the Knitcircus editor, has kindly provided me with 3 copies of the Spring Issue pattern collection to give away to 3 of my readers!

If you would like to enter to win, please leave a comment under this drawing post telling me what you thought of the current Knitcircus Issue! 

Ill be choosing 3 commenters at random and will announce the winners on February 10th.

Enjoy! :)



Drawing Now Closed! 
Congratulations to ikkinlala, norabrown,  and Debbie!

    I clicked on KnitCircus the other day but didn't see you in it, I think it must have been the previous issue. I'm headed over now to take a look again.

    Knit Circus has some interesting articles, but I'd never buy the issues because I can't get them to print properly. I always get 2 pages cramped onto one 8-1/2 x 11 landscape page. The text is too small to read comfortably. I've tried everything to get the pages to print one page at a time on one 8-1/2 x 11 sheet, but it just doesn't work. I've given up on this e-magazine. Thanks much.

    I did check out the issue the other night, right after listening to your podcast. I love this issue, and I would really like to win a copy!

    And I don't remember if I mentioned before, but wonderful interview!

    Great episode as usual and so fun to check out Knitcircus! I really enjoyed the article about choosing and using lightweight yarns - I'm starting to use these types of yarns more so this was really informative! I also loved the article about you - wish I lived close enough to be your friend! Take care and thanks for the hard work!

    This is an amazing issue. Love the lightweight yarn review, technique tips, and especially reading about you, Alana, as I am a pretty new listener to your podcast. It does sound like a ton of work to put in but you are lucky to be doing what you love.

    After a long work week, I was so stoked to realize I'd forgotten to go and get the latest podcast. Yay. Listening now, reading through Knitcircus right now. Better than a cookies and milk treat.

    I want to make thoes Blue Lupine Mitts in the issue. They're about the most delicious thing I saw, next to little Miss 5-year-old Dakos! She is scrumptious.

    Oh, and then I just now saw the Hazelnut macaroons on page 100. Really think I might make some right now!!

    Being from Vancouver, Canada, I love the locally died Sweet Georgia Yarns, which were recently used in the new KnitCircus magazine. This one post by SweetGeorgia introduced me to KnitCircus for the first time, and then to Never Not Knitting for the first time also! Love the podcast, the blog is great. I've had a fun weekend listening and knitting.

    Love the patterns!
