**Find a kit [here at Knits and Knots Minden][1]!** This pattern was designed for the 2024 Sierra Nevada Yarn Crawl, with limited edition kit colorways that cannot be repeated.

A beautifully simple and elegant knit, the Lake Days shawl is a squishy love note to knitters everywhere. It starts out simply like a lazy day spent on the lakeshore, with a garter stitch top increasing on one side to create an elongated triangle. The stripes are a subtle openwork introducing the second color, with a beautiful flowing lace section leading into the solid border.

It’s a satisfyingly simple pattern, and a great introduction to lace, perfect for every day, or for special occasions.

Inspired by the rippling shapes in Zen Gardens, the Sand Garden shawl features shimmering, sinuous stitch patterns. The shawl has a modern hap construction, starting at the base of the inner triangle and widening up to be bound off with a reverse stockinette i-cord. Stitches are picked up around the inner triangle using the yarn-overs present from triangle increases, and the mid section is worked out to the bottom edge, where a flowing knitted-on edging finishes out in rippling echoes.

Hold up! Can you wait just a moment? Be right back! I have a little something to make for fall mornings in my studio when I need just a bit of warmth. The Just A Sec Mitts are super straight forward and you can have a pair knitted up super fast! Simple they may be, but the elegant finishing details will have you making pair after pair. 

Starting out with my i-cord cast-on hack (no more elongated stitches in that first round!), there’s a short section of 2x2 ribbing, and then some lovely relaxing stockinette in the round. I’ve included my jogless stripe join, and an i-cord bind-off following an eyelet round to relax that tendency of stockinette stitch to roll. Perfect.

The sample for the Just a Sec Mitts uses scraps of left-over A Verb for Keeping Warm Annapurna (sport weight) yarn from my [Colorica Cardigan][1].

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

**About my project**

Welcome to my oddments project number three! (See the first one [here][11] and the second one [here][12].)

I continue to read comments from people overrun with yarn scraps and wanting something to do with them...so I’m going to continue to put these fun little patterns out! This year, I’m focused on wearables for the wrists, hands, ankles, and feet. 

They’re different weights and different colors. Some are a full skein. Some are just leftover tidbits, but you can’t throw them away! Definitely not a sweater’s worth of any one color or yarn, let alone a shawl’s worth or even a full pair of socks or mitts. You can’t imagine what to do with them, but you don’t want to part with them. Well then. Ranging from the whimsical to the more traditional, these patterns will be the friends your yarn oddments so desperately need!  12 patterns to breathe life into your scraps and let them be useful once again. 

The patterns for this eBook will be delivered to subscribers within a subscription period beginning on 3 November 2023, and ending 31 October 2024, one per month.  All patterns will have charts (if needed) and written instructions, and you will be able to make them out of oddments. These are small projects, not big ones: the perfect size for a cozy evening or two of stitching in front of the fire. 

I’m so excited for you to join me in this little Oddment-a-Month Club! Happy knitting, my friends.

***Note that purchasing the eBook represents a significant discount over purchasing each pattern separately. No refunds can be given for buying the patterns separately and then, at a later date, purchasing the complete eBook. If you have made a single pattern purchase in error and wished to purchase the book instead, please contact me within a week to resolve the issue. Thank you!***

You absolutely knew I couldn’t resist lacy socks for very much longer, right? Because lace. But also? I used five colors on these, because the only way to make lace more fun is to add stripes! 

These are constructed toe up with a repeatable lace pattern on the top of the foot, but plain stockinette on the bottom, because no one wants to walk on lace. The columns of ribbing on either side of the lace snug up the fit, and after the heel is finished up, there’s some lace on the back of the ankle too! 

This pattern uses the jogless stripe I introduced in my Stop! No Jogging socks, and I love how well the join hides! These are Sox 4 Marianne who sent me some extra sock needles. Thank you so much! (And I know Marianne will want to share her socks with you all too).

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

If you know me, you know that I am constantly searching for cool techniques to level up my knitting and designing, and I love sharing them with you! One of my quests has always been a jogless stripe join for working in the round, and I’ve written a favorite one into my striped patterns. But the one in this pattern is new and different! Because the beginning of round marker doesn’t move for each stripe, it can be added to any striped pattern in the round without altering the math and shaping at all. And although you can see the join when you look closely, there is no obvious jog where the stripes join. As with many techniques, this one looks better and better with repetition, and my Stop! No Jogging socks are a fun way to practice!

Designed for Melissa Leapman’s Knitopia Philadelphia event, **Love One Another** is a bandana cowl with an i-cord edging, cables, and lace. The center cable twists in two colors, using a simple intarsia technique, and is inspired by The City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia). The cowl is knit flat, is easily adjustable, and is finished off by an i-cord bind-off.

Confession: I love shoes! And of course that includes Mary Janes; honestly, I might have a problem. But they’re so cute and comfy. And they dress up and down so well! SO if you also have a soft spot for Mary Janes, you’ll need these! Because they’re the perfect pair of Mary Jane socks, complete with a strip of openwork to play peek-a-boo across your instep. And then there’s a wee bit of openwork along the line between colors at the toe, too, which honestly looks amazing with your birkies.

So go grab some sock yarn scraps, and then Grab Your Mary Janes, because these are super quick and fun toe-up knit!

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

I love wearing linen and cotton; I get out my favorites in spring and wear them into late fall. But when it’s a little chilly out, I definitely need a little something to warm up my wrists. Enter No More, No Less - the perfect amount of coziness!

We all know what sleeveless sweaters are, but these are sweaterless half sleeves, with just a little bit of an edging on them. Not only do they have some fun techniques to try (folded tubular cast-on, jogless stripe, knit on edging), but they are so useful you’ll want a bunch in different colors. They make an outfit look different while giving you that extra little bit of warmth you crave.

No More, No Less uses scraps of Shetland jumper weight yarn.

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

**About my project**

Welcome to my oddments project number three! (See the first one [here][9] and the second one [here][10].)

I continue to read comments from people overrun with yarn scraps and wanting something to do with them...so I’m going to continue to put these fun little patterns out! This year, I’m focused on wearables for the wrists, hands, ankles, and feet. 

They’re different weights and different colors. Some are a full skein. Some are just leftover tidbits, but you can’t throw them away! Definitely not a sweater’s worth of any one color or yarn, let alone a shawl’s worth or even a full pair of socks or mitts. You can’t imagine what to do with them, but you don’t want to part with them. Well then. Ranging from the whimsical to the more traditional, these patterns will be the friends your yarn oddments so desperately need!  12 patterns to breathe life into your scraps and let them be useful once again. 

The patterns for this eBook will be delivered to subscribers within a subscription period beginning on 3 November 2023, and ending 31 October 2024, one per month.  All patterns will have charts (if needed) and written instructions, and you will be able to make them out of oddments. These are small projects, not big ones: the perfect size for a cozy evening or two of stitching in front of the fire. 

I’m so excited for you to join me in this little Oddment-a-Month Club! Happy knitting, my friends.

**A Verb for Keeping Warm has sweater bundles [available here][1]! Options include: yarn bundle plus handmade sweater pin by Romi, or yarn only bundle.**

So lightweight it feels as though you’re wearing mist, the Swoop Softly Cardigan is inspired by my [Swoop shawl][2], with garter stitch stripes and short row wedges of openwork adorning the back and adding a slight A-line profile. Designed to take advantage of the yardage and strengths of its two yarns, the majority of the sweater is worked in both, with a back yoke worked entirely in light fingering weight to add strength.

Worked side to side to produce vertical stripes, Swoop Softly can be gentle or striking, depending on color contrast. Although the sweater is written for nine sizes, the size 40shown herelooked fantastic on everyone who tried it on, from a bust of 32 inches to a bust of 54 inches. Wear it open or pin it! It’s perfect to throw on over anything.

Darker model has a 39 inch bust and is shown in size 40.

For years, I had a virtual egg hunt through my patterns on Ravelry. So since I’m not doing it this year, Egg Hunt just seemed like the perfect name for these simple and scrappy socklets. It’s for all of us who love stripes, but hate the jog at the beginning of the round. There are some great jogless join techniques (and I’ve written my favorite into several patterns), but this fun sock pattern includes instructions for the lazy way to camouflage that jog. Because sometimes it’s nice just to relax and not think about it, don’t you think? 

The sample is worked with a bunch of contrasting colors along with the master color, but the pattern is written for two colors, so you can choose your own style. I worked these completely randomly as I was going along, and they were fun and relaxing.

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

*NOTE: If you purchased a kit from A Verb for Keeping Warm, there’s no need to purchase this mystery, as a code for a free pattern download is included!*

The first clue drops 26 April at 10am Pacific time, and that afternoon at 4pm Pacific, I'll be having a YouTube Live to go over the first clue! Each Friday there will be a YouTube live for the clue released that day. Only techniques, with NO spoilers will be shown in the YouTube lives.

**This pattern uses a pay what you can model to make it more accessible to more people while helping me to defray some of the costs for my own time. You can purchase the KAL at the following price points:**

**$15 - no coupon code needed**
**$11 - use coupon code RomiMystLove1 in your shopping cart**
**$9 - use coupon code RomiMystLove2 in your shopping cart**
**$7 - use coupon code RomiMystLove3 in your shopping cart**

------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to my 2024 mystery shawl KAL: Way Leads on to Way. A knitting project is never only one thing. We are attracted by the dream of a lovely finished object, but we are crafters, and the journey itself is filled with beauty and fulfillment. It’s a metaphor for the life experience, isn’t it? And it reminded me of a favorite Robert Frost poem: The Road Not Taken. The way ahead lies before us. We have never traveled this particular route before, nor will we ever be here again. The path beckons us forward, to gather all the disparate pieces together into a beautiful cohesive whole.

This is a crescent using two colors of sport or fingering weight yarn, 385 to 438 yards each. The first clue will be released digitally on April 26, 2024. The KAL will have 5 clues total, each one week apart. One year after the KAL is over, your mystery pattern will update to the full pattern.

We will be knitting together in the [@Romi’s Studio forum][9] and in my Facebook group, and I will also be doing YouTube lives and meetups! You will get a full schedule in the time leading up to the first clue drop. The YouTube lives will remain accessible as recordings. I hope you’ll join us in the fun!!!

Hints before the first clue:

-    Although Annapurna is listed as sport weight in the Ravelry database, I would say it is on the light side, and knits up like a fingering weight. Either sport or fingering weight will work. Floating and Rumor are fingering weight yarns.

 -   I am using the Berries & Cream (peachy-pink with speckles of pink)/Wisteria (warm medium purple) colorway and starting with the darker color.

-    Remember: do not substitute a yarn of which you have less than 385 yards.

I can’t wait to knit with you all! xox

*Note about gauge: 56 slip stitch rounds are worked to arrive at a gauge appearing to be 28 rows/4in (10cm)*

Have you always wanted to try some colorwork? But you don’t want to have to carry floats? Or maybe you just love the relaxing and soothing rhythm of slip stitches like I do! Enter It’s a Slippery Slope - your gateway to more color! This is an entirely slip stitch pattern, even though it ends up looking exactly like stranded knitting in the end. 

The mitts begin with a rolled edging and a special no-twist join written into the pattern. The sample is worked with 10 contrasting colors along with the master color, but the pattern is written for three colors, so you can choose your own style. Don’t worry - I’ve added all the color info in case you want to have a pair just like mine!

Through The Gate Gently is an act of love and remembrance. I didn’t realize it when I started, but by the time I finished this gentle hazy green shawl, I knew it was my subconscious mind working away behind the scenes. The hat I’m wearing in the pictures was given me by Suzanne Middlebrooks at the 2020 Hill Country Weavers retreat in Texas. She always made me - and everyone else who knew her - feel like Austin was my home, and I never imagined that would be the last time I saw her, or how much would change in the days after.

To Suzanne, and to the many we have loved and lost: you will never be forgotten. Rest easy, my friends.

This shawl is a mashup designed using elements of the three previous 2023 Lace Lovers Club shawls.

Lace lovers 2023
This is a special club for serious lovers of lace knitting, and the patterns will all be in the general style of [past lace clubs of mine][12]. Each pattern will include a medium (for regular yarn option) and tall (for double yarn option) size. The medium size will use from 700-950 yards. The tall size will vary, but in general will use at least 1200 yards.

The club will include four total new Romi lace patterns, and this listing is for the pattern only option. Yarn used for the patterns will be lace weight to light fingering weight. At the end of the club shipment term, the fourth pattern, a mashup of different lace patterns from the previous three club designs, will come out.

2023 schedule (subject to small changes):
1. Pattern out early April
2. Pattern out late July
3. Pattern out mid November
4. Pattern out late January 2024

Single club patterns will not be available to the public until February of 2024, but the pattern only eBook option will remain available throughout the club term. eBook patterns will be downloadable both from your Ravelry library and through your Designs by Romi account (to create an account, go to [designsbyromi.com][13] and link your Ravelry account).

The patterns you receive will be brand new designs. For those of you who would like to join me, there will always be knit-alongs for the patterns in [my Ravelry group][14]. All patterns will be designed and written by me. Club purchases are non-refundable.

I’m excited to knit with you all - thank you for joining me!

Perfect for your favorite vintage coat, Someone Call A Taxi begins with a fabulous loopy cuff and moves on to a lateral braid and a check pattern reminiscent of houndstooth. The top ribbing is generous and meant to be folded down to balance the cuff and keep your fingers toasty warm. The pattern includes instructions for three sizes, and a photo tutorial for a beautiful sewn tubular bind-off.

What can you do with some yarn scraps? Well...a lot! For one thing, you can make your feet very colorful and your eyes very happy. Or even not so colorful, because these are written so that you can also use only two colors!

Colorwork charts in The Color of Serotonin reflect a master color and a contrast color, with a color guide for each section given at the end of the pattern, should you wish to recreate the sample shown here. The patterns on the slippers are mirrored, so that the end of round falls along the inside foot and any jogs in stripes are hidden. The pattern features written instructions with color charts to be worked with the stranded technique.

**About my project**

Welcome to my oddments project number three! (See the first one [here][8] and the second one [here][9].)

I continue to read comments from people overrun with yarn scraps and wanting something to do with them...so I’m going to continue to put these fun little patterns out! This year, I’m focused on wearables for the wrists, hands, ankles, and feet. 

They’re different weights and different colors. Some are a full skein. Some are just leftover tidbits, but you can’t throw them away! Definitely not a sweater’s worth of any one color or yarn, let alone a shawl’s worth or even a full pair of socks or mitts. You can’t imagine what to do with them, but you don’t want to part with them. Well then. Ranging from the whimsical to the more traditional, these patterns will be the friends your yarn oddments so desperately need!  12 patterns to breathe life into your scraps and let them be useful once again. 

The patterns for this eBook will be delivered to subscribers within a subscription period beginning on 3 November 2023, and ending 31 October 2024, one per month.  All patterns will have charts (if needed) and written instructions, and you will be able to make them out of oddments. These are small projects, not big ones: the perfect size for a cozy evening or two of stitching in front of the fire. 

I’m so excited for you to join me in this little Oddment-a-Month Club! Happy knitting, my friends.

***Note that purchasing the eBook represents a significant discount over purchasing each pattern separately. No refunds can be given for buying the patterns separately and then, at a later date, purchasing the complete eBook. If you have made a single pattern purchase in error and wished to purchase the book instead, please contact me within a week to resolve the issue. Thank you!***

Kissed by icy sparkling beads, the crescent-shaped Mountain Frost shawl wraps perfectly around your shoulders. The pattern begins at the nape of the neck by casting on the edging. The top is a relaxing pattern of garter edging, stockinette interior, and Estonian stitches that create a mock cabled look reminiscent of a winter sky. The border is more open, with a beaded lace diamond motif and bits of the lighter color placed like snowflakes against the darker background. Knit your own frosty winter day without ever being cold!

Lace lovers 2023
This is a special club for serious lovers of lace knitting, and the patterns will all be in the general style of [past lace clubs of mine][12]. Each pattern will include a medium (for regular yarn option) and tall (for double yarn option) size. The medium size will use from 700-950 yards. The tall size will vary, but in general will use at least 1200 yards.

The club will include four total new Romi lace patterns, and this listing is for the pattern only option. Yarn used for the patterns will be lace weight to light fingering weight. At the end of the club shipment term, the fourth pattern, a mashup of different lace patterns from the previous three club designs, will come out.

2023 schedule (subject to small changes):
1. Pattern out early April
2. Pattern out late July
3. Pattern out mid November
4. Pattern out late January 2024

Single club patterns will not be available to the public until February of 2024, but the pattern only eBook option will remain available throughout the club term. eBook patterns will be downloadable both from your Ravelry library and through your Designs by Romi account (to create an account, go to [designsbyromi.com][13] and link your Ravelry account).

The patterns you receive will be brand new designs. For those of you who would like to join me, there will always be knit-alongs for the patterns in [my Ravelry group][14]. All patterns will be designed and written by me. Club purchases are non-refundable.

I’m excited to knit with you all - thank you for joining me!

Based on a repeating wedge shape, Broken Trails is designed to take advantage of your special skein, no matter the length. For smaller skeins, the shape is a shallow, asymmetrical triangle, but as the number of wedges grows, the shawl tends toward a curving asymmetrical crescent shape. The wedge stays the same throughout the shawl, but because of the short row placement, creates a staggered pattern.

This shawl was designed and knit during my 2023 Special Skein KAL.

This shawl is the third and final of three. The first two were released to kick off my 2023 Special Skein KAL (31 August through 30 September)! I designed and began knitting this new shawl design while everyone else was knitting up their own project. This completes the eBook collection!

[My YouTube live of 31 August 2023][8] goes over the other two shawls in this collection, [Globemallow][9] and [Sobriquet][10]. You can still access the recording any time.

Everyone needs a little out-of- this-world warmth sometimes, right? Enter the perfect pulse warmers to keep that space between jacket and wrist a little toastier. 

They use only small bits of fingering weight yarn and size 8/0 beads. Most of the work is in stringing the beads, and afterwards you can make one cuff in an evening, or a pair in a day! Then they can hide in the edge of your sleeves and peek out now and again, spreading whimsy wherever you go.

We Come In Peace includes three charted sizes. There are no specific written instructions for the beadwork pattern chart.

This pattern is part of my Happy Hands & Feet, serialized eBook: one pattern per month, starting November 2023 and ending October 2024.

The Sierra Nevada mountain range spans through many terrains, from thick, damp alpine forests to the dry of the high desert. The sierra trail shawl is designed to echo the different personalities of its namesake, with a solid top triangle and stripes knit up in rugged nubby tweed, interspersed with panels of smooth lacy leaves.

It’s a satisfyingly simple pattern, and a great introduction to lace. There is only one lace chart (with written instructions also included), which is worked twice. The garter edging is finished up with an Icelandic bind-off that leaves a sturdy edge. It’s perfect for every day, or for special occasions.

In the high desert, flowers learn to bloom whenever there is a little extra water to be had, as though they’re donning their fine clothes in celebration. The Desert Globemallow hereabouts has bloomed more than usual this past short summer, and is - right at this moment - still in a celebratory mood, even though fall has crept into the air and light on the mountainside.

The Globemallow shawl is knit up here using a lovely gradient, but would be just as beautiful in a solid. It’s a satisfying pattern, with a wide triangle top worked in garter stitch, and straight-forward lacy bottom in a stockinette stitch base.

This shawl is one of two released to kick off my 2023 Special Skein KAL (31 August through 30 September)! I'll be knitting a new shawl design up while everyone else is knitting up their own project. The third pattern will be released by the end of 2023 to complete the eBook collection.

[My YouTube live of 31 August 2023][6] goes over this shawl, as well as Sobriquet, the second pattern of this collection. If you aren't able to tune in, you can still access the recording any time.

Versatile by any name, Sobriquet is a satisfying one skein knit that looks fantastic as a bandana, scarf, or shawl to keep your shoulders, or your loved one’s, warm. With a straight-forward stockinette-based lace motif and unassuming garter stitch border, there’s just enough interest to keep you going, but not too much so that it’s difficult to follow. It’s a perfect transitional knit for your busy days!

This shawl was designed and knit during my 2022 Special Skein KAL.
