Arroyo showed up on Ravely’s big board this morning.
It’s a big damn deal to me, because I’m a knitting dilettante. I think we can all agree on that. I haven’t finished a sweater, I can barely handle sock yarn and I was knitting through the back loops for the first fifteen years of my knitting career.
I am the definition of the knitting dilettante.
But you guys, you guys — you liked Arroyo. That is so amazing and wonderful. Thank you so much for that. It means a great deal to this hack that you’ve downloaded and made it. You’ve given it its own interpretations. I am amazed and inspired by the work you’re doing. Your collective talent puts this dilettante to shame.
And once more, for the cheap seats in the back! Arroyo. Click to download
The Capt’n's reaction is a mixture of pride and puritan work ethic. “Get the next one up!” he says. “Get it up and get it done!”
The next pattern is still being swatched. The pattern after that is in the Excel-and-graft-paper stage.
Stay tuned.

I’m planning on teaching a small class of 6 students this fall at my local yarn store. Your Arroyo pattern has everything I was hoping to cover: lacework, shortrows, crescent shaping, garter stitch body. After working to design my own, I found your lovely pattern and knew it was perfect! Would you allow me to use your pattern If each student downloaded her own copy? Thanks again for this beautiful pattern!
