This week’s design is the fun and beautiful Landyn Tahj by Pam Knighton-Haener. I really enjoyed combining my new palette colors, following Pam’s A-D designations. I love how the square turned into a diamond and back to a square, and the ingenious outer rounds. You can find Pam’s other designs on Ravelry and on her blog, A Yarn of Serendipity.

I have admired Aurora Suominen’s work for many years and am happy to feature October Love this week. This is a fun design with clean lines and is a bit of a respite from our recent more complicated blocks!  The final stitch count was a little too big for our CAL so I modified the last few rounds. I am hoping Aurora comes back later in the year with a new design!  See all her designs on Ravelry and her blog, My Blue Angels.
