This is the best kind of gilding the lily, dear readers. MDK Field Guide No. 15: Open designer Jeanette Sloan AND Jen Arnall-Culliford collaborating on embroidery. Jeanette and Jen helping us give our knitting that … Je ne sais quoi.

The Arnall-Culliford Knitwear Confident Knitting series pairs knit-it-now patterns with video tutorials to grow your skills—this is the fabulous fourth in the series.

There’s a lot of experience, insight, and clever tips packed into each tutorial. With Jen demonstrating and narrating, any bit of intimidation you might feel about working embroidery techniques will quickly subside into the sheer joy of personalizing your knits with these simple but beautiful stitches.

The Design of the Month?

It’s Jeanette’s Patina Scarf (Ravelry Link) that Jen aptly describes as, “the perfect example of a design that is breath-taking, and yet manageable if you take it step by step.”

That extra petal at the end here … sublime

  • Attention! The link to “Patina Scarf (Ravelry Link)” is worng, it leads you to the profile page of Confidente knitting instead of the pattern.

    • That’s right!—it’s the page where you’ll find the Patina Scarf as well as the previous three designs.
