Waaay back in June of 2010, while attending TNNA (The National Needlearts Association)’s summer trade show I taped a segment for Knitting Daily TV‘s 6th Season. It seems like a long while ago, but the episodes are finally starting to air on public tv stations across the country (use the search here to find a station near you). The segment that I’m in (which was generously sponsored by Webs, Thanks Kathy!) is in episode #604 the preview clip for which you can watch below.
As part of the appearance I was asked to offer a free pattern, which would have a technique demonstrated in the filmed segment. I demoed a few ways to fix mistakes in lace, so a lace cowl seemed appropriate for the free pattern. May I now present to you, the Polyphylla Cowl….
Polyphylla is inspired by and named for the continuous spiky spiral structure of the Aloe Polyphylla plant, an endangered and beautiful relative of the Aloe plant that grows in a perfect outward spiral. One of the most amazing examples of mathematical sequence in nature. The pattern is available for free from KDTV’s website here.
Enjoy!
