The Old Number 8

*Pictures coming soon! Available at the Sierra Nevada Yarn Crawl, September 10-13, 2026. See the sample and purchase a kit at [Yarn Refuge][1] in Reno. I’ll also be at Yarn Refuge Friday the 11th from 1:30 to closing! Pattern available to the public on October 1, 2026.* A beautifully simple top designed to accentuate variegated yarns is paired with the repetition of a knitted on edging in this beautifully wearable wrap. The Old Number 8 shawl is a squishy love note to Nevada’s old No. 8 mine, known for it’s strikingly beautiful turquoise stones with their unique golden matrix. Designed for the 2026 Sierra Nevada yarn crawl, it’s a satisfyingly repetitive pattern, and a great introduction to lace and knitted on edgings, which look complicated but are relaxingly simple to knit. It’s perfect for every day, or for special occasions. Thank you for knitting my patterns and supporting indie pattern design!
