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 Susie W.
I always find Shana’s designs to be a great blend of soothing and relaxing knitting as well as interesting and engaging construction and finishing techniques – basically my favorite kind of project! Her patterns are very well-written and are as enjoyable to knit as they are to wear.
Susie has knit many Shanalines Designs patterns including SuperCape, Space Positive Wrap, Recalibrate, Shoulder Season, and Drawn Together.
From Lynn C.
I have made a couple of Shana’s designs and love them. Her patterns are clear, knit up perfectly and are unique. I always learn something new and enjoy both the process and the final product. I look forward to knitting more of her designs.
Lynn has knit Moduloncho and Coin Flip Hat, and was a test knitter for Side Hustle Wrap (Light).
From Kim R.
I’ve had the pleasure of test knitting Shana’s designs and her creativity never disappoints! Her patterns are interesting and I seem to learn new skills each time. As I’m knitting, my thoughts are always, “well that is clever”! Shana is always available to answer questions during the testing period
Kim has test knit many Shanalines Designs patterns including cowls, hats, and fidget toys.
