This pattern (along with most of my earlier work) was retired in the summer of 2022. However, it may be available for a few days once or twice a year. Read on for details!

In the summer of 2022, I realized that maintaining a back catalog of hundreds of patterns was kind of overwhelming. I couldn’t do it and still release new things. So I took my old patterns down so I could keep doing new work.

Since then, a handful of my favorites have come back, and lovely new things have come out. But the vast majority of the old patterns are retired and will no longer be generally available.

However, enough folks have asked about some old favorites that I’m planning to make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year (most likely in late spring and then again in the fall around Thanksgiving).

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available, and you’re welcome to grab it!
• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available.
• If you want to hear when the retired patterns will be available, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

Before I had the good sense to move here, I came on vacation. I’d rent a cabin on the ocean and play house for as long as I could manage. I took every chance to wander along the beach until I was filthy and famished.

One day I found a huge fishing net caught in the rocks and half buried in the sand. I spent hours wrenching it free and dragging it back up the beach. I had the misguided notion it would make a delightful souvenir. I was wrong. What it made was terrible smells and a huge mess. But the netting was fascinating to look at. These tiny cables have that same feel, but with no funny smells or piles of sand in your house.

The cables and twisted stitches make this a bit less stretchy than normal, so you’ll likely have more stitches than usual on the needles. Be sure to use a bigger needle when called for in the pattern, and, if you’re trying to decide between sizes, size up.
