I have just now discovered you and your work. Love your fruit patterns, looking forward to orange pattern when it comes out and more. Great job on Sugi, thank you so much for that, I also am a HUGE fan of Jess Hutchinson, and clever you for working out a pattern for Sugi. Love your owl, sooo cute. I knit toys for kids charities and Sugi and owl will go down well. Thank you so much.
regards

I hope you still monitor this old post... I am a very new knitter and just came across your patterns, so please forgive my ?s if they are ridiculous :) Do you cast on 6 sts. to just one needle? When do you start with the multiple needles-- where it says "spread them out"?

Also, the picture looks like rows stockinette stitch, but when I have tried to follow the pattern, mine turns out like a garter stitch-- any idea what I am doing wrong?
