Popped was my very first pattern and has remained one of my most popular. It’s gone through several iterations. In the earliest days, it was free. This was in large part because it was my first pattern and I didn’t know what the heck I was doing. I was fairly convinced that following my instructions would result in something decidedly unsocklike (the possibility of a lama saddle was raised).
Then I got a bit more experience. With it came a bit more confidence. I decided to write a paid version of the pattern. I kept the free version up for those who didn’t mind a bit of adventure in their knitting (it wasn’t ever wrong, it just didn’t have a lot of hand holding).
But the difference in the style and tone of this pattern as compared to my others began to irritate me. I wanted to do something different with them, but never seemed to have the time needed to revise them. So I put the pattern on sabbatical for a time. Then Knit Picks Independent Designer Program came along. It seemed a perfect fit. Knit Picks provided the yarn, one of my marvelous testers knit the sample, Knit Picks took pictures, and the pattern would be available for a very good price.
The pattern has been totally rewritten to fit my current style. A second size has been added, as have suggestions on options for twisted vs untwisted stitches. I hope this strikes everyone as a fair compromise.
The pattern costs $1.99
