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 Cori B.
What a great test knitting experience! The expectations were very clear, there was constant communication (I love the use of discord for test knitting- so much more streamlined than using an IG chat or an email)- I love that it was a communal experience without being overwhelming. I would absolutely apply to test knit again.
And the pattern is so ingenious- a fun and quick knit, that feels solid, with minimal finishing (literally two ends to weave per mitt). I’m so excited to use them!
Cori B. was a test knitter for Turnover.
From TheKnittedBean
I appreciate the recipe or blueprint-like quality of the Shanalines Designs patterns which leave space for the maker to get truly creative and give each piece their own touch whether that be by substitution of yarns, or by the ease with which this allows the use of handspun that might have varying gauge, or even modular play with color. Ten different people can make a pattern by Shana and it can look like ten different patterns, there are no cookie cutters here!
