In addition to knitting and designing patterns, handspinning has found a place in my crafty endeavors. Often, I’m drawn to a colorway or fiber and spin just 1 skein. As I add special single skeins to my stash, I am working on adding special single skein designs to my knitwear design portfolio. Enter SMALL POTATOES FINGERLESS MITTS! This accessory is designed with DK weight handspun yarn in mind. A ribbed and textured pattern accommodates variation in yarn weight, and the circumference shows off color shifts beautifully. If you take care when weaving in your ends, these fingerless mitts are totally reversible. Wear them inside out and on either hand. Directions are provided for both right and left mitts to mirror the textured panel.

From Kim R.
I’ve had the opportunity to test knit several designs for Shana. Pattern layout is neat, easy to read format, with helpful photos. I appreciate the video links within the pattern as extra guidance.
Shana is readily available during the testing phase and responds in a timely fashion.
I can’t say enough how wonderful of an experience it has been. The patterns are well written, easy to follow and interesting. I find them carefully thought out, and they keep me engaged. I look forward to every opportunity to knit her patterns!!!
Kim has test knit many Shanalines Designs patterns!
From Pia
Shana’s designs are always on point! Her attention to finishing details result in handknits that are both unique and classic. Her patterns are well written and thoughtful. I’m a fan!

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.
