Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide No. 12: Big Joy.

The twelfth installment of the Mason-Dixon Knitting Field Guide series is here! Let’s take a peek inside.

Ann Shayne and Kaye Gardiner’s series of Field Guides are pocket-sized booklets focused on a particular theme or knitting technique. This time around, the theme is Big Joy, as interpreted by Jen Geigley, a designer known for her now-classic “GAP-tastic Cowl.”

Geigley’s five designs for MDK are all knit in super-bulky yarn and designed for quick gift-knitting, the kind of instant gratification project that brings big joy to the knitter as well as the recipient.

The bakers among us will also appreciate this technique for making pie crust that looks like stockinette stitch – I will certainly be giving this a try!
