Gift A Long Saturday Spotlight: Melissa Metzbower
The Indie Designer Gift A Long is underway on Ravelry and you can follow along on Instagram, as well. This year I am highlighting some of the designers on my blog, as well as in my Instagram feed.
This week's designer is Melissa Metzbower. Her patterns can be found on Ravelry and her own website. If you are a knit designer yourself, she is also a technical editor.
Melissa is not a new designer to me, but I have always enjoyed her work. I was glad to see her in the Gift A Long again this year. Her portfolio includes a broad range of types of designs and I have always enjoyed making them. In fact, besides the mittens I share below, there are several designs I have made or wish to make from her work. Perhaps this year will be the year for that red headscarf for myself (not sure mine will be red).
Her designs always include beautiful details, cabled or lace, sometimes both, and the construction is always great.
Kansas (part of her United States of Socks series)
Sybie and Marigold
Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail
Cabled Sleeves Pullover
Snow Day Mittens I made five pairs of these one year! They are great mittens. This picture is of the four I made for our children.
If these pictures intrigue you, please do check out her other designs. I'm sure you will find something you want to make.
