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 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 Azariah’s Fibre Arts

I met Shana for the first time at an in-person event in early 2020, before the world shut down. She was at a small fiber festival sharing one of her new designs and her story about being an architect who now designs modular knitting patterns. I was hooked. I have tested for her, met her again multiple times and asked her questions about the industry and designing. She is a down to earth fun person. She is also honest and helpful. If you have a chance to work one of her patterns I highly recommend it! Some of the construction is a bit outside the box, but totally worth the effort. Just take it one step at a time and wait until you’re alone to concentrate if needed. Once you get it, you’ve got it! Thank you Shana for making fun knit patterns and sharing them!

Azariah’s Fibre Arts has test knit many Shanalines Designs patterns including Cohenside Cowl (DK), Air Hugs Wrap, and Turnover.

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.
