The Sampler Blanket
The Sampler Blanket – a knitting pattern with such extensive information that it fills a full book!
Featuring 30 skill-building stitch patterns for the Advanced Beginner to the more Experienced Knitter, this pattern is presented in a format akin to a class or knit-along workshop. Each square introduces new techniques as the knitter works through the pattern.
Differing from a traditional sampler that would typically be worked in single squares, this blanket is knit in 5 strips, each featuring 6 patterns, totaling 30 individual patterns. The strips are then crocheted together and finished with a crochet trim.
Available for purchase in print from Amazon.com, or pdf download from Ravelry.com. For wholesale quantities of 5 or more, please send us a request.

Faerie Knitting – 14 Tales of Love and Magic
Discover original faerie tales crafted by New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman, accompanied by knitwear designs from Lisa Hoffman that are inspired by each enchanting story. The art of storytelling intertwines beautifully with the craft of knitting, creating a unique experience.
Alice Hoffman eloquently states, "How fairy tales are told and remembered has a great deal in common with knitting traditions. It is no mistake that we describe storytelling as knitting a tale, or weaving a story, or spinning a yarn."—from the Introduction of Fairy Knitting.
Featuring fourteen original fairy tales, Fairy Knitting is a captivating collection that explores themes of love and loss, trust and perseverance. Each tale seamlessly integrates a magical garment or accessory, inspired by the courage and self-reliance of its heroine, and brought to life with imaginative and directed knitting patterns.
From the beautiful Blue Heron Shawl and the enchanting Love Never Ending Cowl, to the whimsical Three Wishes Mittens and the charming Amulet Necklace, every project is both wearable and magical. Lush, atmospheric photography captures the mystical faerie realm, while beautifully rendered charts and instructions cater to both beginner and advanced knitters alike.
Presented in an elegant linen case adorned with foil accents that reflect the fairy tale tradition, Fairy Knitting is truly a rare gift for creators—and lovers—of magic.
