Nordic Striped Badesign by Lisa Shroy

K a t h y r n M a r t i n

A knitted sphere is just so much fun. I got the idea for

stripe pattern from Vibeke Lind’s Knitting in the No

Tradition (Sterling, 1998), from a passage where she t

about options for the crown shaping on a two-color str

hat. Working a provisional cast-on at the equator of

ball, I worked the two shaped ends of this ball like

crown of a hat for a neat, perfectly round shape.

Connemara Pondesigned by Kathryn Martin and Evelyn Zlom

Originally published in Interweave Knits Gifts, 2

My first pony was given to me when I was six years old: My

mother made his head with one of my father’s somewhat worn

athletic socks stuffed with cotton balls. An old walking stick of

my grandfather’s became his body, and two round black but-

tons gave him sparkling eyes. Two large balls of yarn went into

a long, flowing white mane and tail. He quickly became my

best-loved, constant companion and the envy of all the equally

horse-crazy girls in my neighborhood. I’ve owned countless real ponies and horses over the years, but never one that inspired

quite the same magic as that first white pony. This dapple gray

Connemara pony comes close.

I was so inspired by the knitted cupcakes on the cover of

the 2004 edition of the Anthropologie holiday catalog

that I decided to design my own version. After sifting

through my stash of smooth yarns for the “papers,”

novelty yarns for the “icing,” and buttons for the deco-

rations, I came up with an assortment of knitted con-

fections that would do a pastry chef proud. Although

each cupcake knits up quickly, be forewarned—they

tend to multiply.
