Rambling Rose Yarn Exquisite Cashmere DK, colorway Rose
Every year, I enjoy the transition to the crisp air of the autumn season. Warm beverages and changing leaves fill the air, and fingerless mitts and a puffy vest become regular staples in my outdoor wardrobe: accessories that provide a bit of extra warmth yet are easily removable for moments of warm sunshine. OFFICE HOURS is a knit fingerless mitt design for my ideal autumn day. Knit in DK weight yarn, these cozy fingerless mitts allow me to easily use a pencil and jot down sketches or notes in one of my many notebooks. This reversible design has classic lines and details, making it a great accessory to tuck in your pockets or gift to a friend..

From Amanda S.
This was a super meditative or rhythmic knit that once I had the pattern repeats down, I just kept cruising. I really like both sides to this, and actually think it would make a really cute pattern for a tee!
Amanda test knit Coexist.
From Allena W. / Starknits
Shana is such a fun person and I enjoy spending time with her. Her energy comes through in classes and her patterns. I love the modular knitting and how her patterns are written. I love how open to making it your own Shana is. I’ve test knit a few of her patterns and she always is down for using handspun or different yarn or adding a detail to make it specific to the knitter.
Allena was a test knitter for Semantics, Modular Coffee Cup Cozy, Shoulder Season and Split Decision Mitts.
From Marieke, Solace in Stitches
Duplex is a quick and fun to make. The striping and modular joining kept me engaged throughout the project without being to complicated. It’s a great pattern to use up sock yarn leftovers and play with colors. Excited to cast on another one.
Marieke test knit Duplex, and has knit many other Shanalines Designs patterns.
