New Pattern: Starbuck!
Starbuck has Landed!
Buy Starbuck in Store or Online
Introducing Starbuck, our first exclusive Knit-O-Matic pattern just for our customers. For your knitting pleasure we've designed a simple, fitted raglan pullover with a wide neck. Pattern requires 3 to 5 skeins of Misti Peruvian Cotton-Silk and is free when you purchase the yarn!

When I first started working on the pattern I was geekily consuming the show and I naively thought that I would be able to get the whole pattern done by the time I had finished the series. Little did i know that making a great fitting pattern takes a lot more work than 3 seasons of television can afford! Moving on to more shows to occupy me while I was knitting & re-knitting the samples, I moved on to Nip/Tuck, Deadwood, Ugly Betty ...
