Fiber Dreams Laura Patterson with Liberty Fibers
I am very pleased to share with you that Laura Patterson, of Fiber Dreams, has completed her most recent pattern with a Liberty Fibers fall colorway "Lemon Grass." The yarn is a fingering weight merino superwash.
"I loved working with it. The subtle coloration is beautiful, and the yarn itself was a dream to knit with -- it never split or misbehaved, no matter how many times I ripped it out and re-knit it. The green was just perfect for Anjou," Laura Patterson.

A few years ago she began designing knitting patterns with the encouragment of her husband. Laura was always making design changes to the patterns she knit so it was a natural progression to start designing her own patterns.
When you visit the Fiber Dreams site you see the not only the skill of Laura's deisgns but the creativity. I contacted Laura after reading one of her blog entries with a picture of a plant leaf that was inspiring her to create a knit design. I found her inspiration inspiring to create a colorway show the lines of leaf.
I spent spring and summer creating a fall collection. It was a challenge to myself to create colorways that were more tonal. When I began dyeing several years ago, I wanted to make stripes and pools of color in my colorway. Now, I want to see texture and stitches. Laura's new pattern "Anjou" does just that with Lemon Grass. Click here to purchase "Anjou" from Fiber Dreams. (Judy)
