Modern Daily Field Guides have been some of our favorite pattern collections, and their latest issue may be the best yet.
Field Guide 24: SPARK features a collection of five brand new designs from local designer and longtime space friend Olga Buraya-Kefelian! From the designer herself:
“Field Guide 24: SPARK was designed as a showcase using my most favorite techniques and concepts, 3D knitwear, modular knitting with negative space, and transformable garments. Yet making them easily accessible from beginner to intermediate knitters to craft and wear with joy!”
Join us on Friday, June 16 to celebrate the launch of this collection, view the trunk show, and enjoy nibbles and drinks with Olga and the team.
We have a preview of the patterns and a yarn guide below to spark your own projects:
