Winter Slumbers - A Four Seasons Design

Winter Slumbers is the second in Georgina Bow Creations' Four Seasons Series of Stoles. When the world outside is blanketed in snow and the wind is whipping through the trees, you'll want to be wrapped in a cozy, yet elegant stole inside with friends and family. Knit in worsted weight yarn, Winter Slumber works up quickly in a beautiful pattern of lace and cables. Optional beads add a bit of drama.

This stole is knit in one piece from end to end with no additional finishing required. Stitch patterns are in charted format only and the length is adjustable. Finished, blocked size as the pattern is written is 27 inches wide by 77 inches long. Shown in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes in Hyacinth (9 skeins were used) and using size 6 beads.

Autumn Mist Cardigan

New from Georgina Bow Creations!

Classic lines and elegant details make Autumn Mist a cardigan you will reach for as soon as you feel Autumn's chill. Lines of lace accent the hem, back and sleeves as well as the flattering V-neckline. Wear it with a cami or shell when the weather begins to cool off and then when the temperature really dips, wear it with a turtleneck or long sleeved tee. No matter how you pair it, it will be the perfect layer for three seasons of the year.

The main sweater is knit using a laceweight yarn and fingering weight yarn held together, while the front and neck bands are worked using the fingering weight yarn alone. Choose your favorite color in both yarns or mix colors to make the sweater uniquely yours. The sweater is worked from the lace shaped hem up to the underarm in one piece to make seaming and finishing minimal. Stitch patterns are given in both charted and written out format and thorough instructions guide you step by step through the knitting process. Sizes included are XS-3X (finished bust size 32-56 inches).

Shown in Knit Picks Gossamer (now discontinued) and Knit Picks Gloss Fingering. Knit Picks Shadow Tonal could be substituted for the Gossamer.

Spring Awakening - A Four Seasons Design

New from Georgina Bow Creations: Spring Awakening - a new stole design from the Four Seasons Stole Collection.

The brighter, warmer days of spring often still have a chill to them which will be chased away by the cozy warmth of mohair. The pattern represents the seasonal transition from Winter's chill to the new life of Spring with its cables which burst into bloom. Flowers and beads adorn both ends. The stole is knitted from one end to the other with no breaks and no grafting, making length adjustments easy to do. The edges are knitted with the body of the stole, so it is not necessary to apply them later. When you are through, you are through. The finished size is 20" wide and 78" long. If desired, a shorter or longer length is also possible. The stole is knitted on US size 10 needles (6.5 mm) and requires 750 yards of yarn such as Classic Elite LeGran with a gauge of about 4 stitches per inch. For those with mohair allergies, a brushed alpaca will work or for a non-fuzzy option, any worsted weight yarn will be appropriate. Approximately 200 size 6 seed beads are used in this design.

Georgina Bow will also be hosting a Four Seasons Knit Along for all of the designs in this series. For more information or to join, please see the KAL site (CLICK HERE)

Serendipity

Introducing another great pattern from Georgina Bow Creations...Serendipity!

This is the design for Mystery Stole 4 (2008), now available in a traditional pattern format.

According to Websters New World Dictionary, Serendipity is an apparent aptitude for making accidental fortunate discoveries. Come knit the Serendipity Stole and make your own discoveries! This design is beautiful in any color, choose one that you love. Beads are an important part of the design and should be chosen with enough contrast to show up on the stole. The lace motifs flow together with the beaded motifs, making the knitting non repetitive and interesting to work. Edgings are part of the design and knitted as you go so once you are through, you're through.

This design is knit from the ends toward the center in two sections and these sections are then grafted together near the center. (Don't worry, complete grafting directions are included to walk you through this process.) Stitch patterns are charted. Worked in laceweight yarn with size 8 seed beads it finishes at 60 to 72 inches long and 16 inches wide. The stole design does not allow for adjusting size up or down, but using fingering weight yarn instead of laceweight will make it larger (conversely, cobweb weight will make the finished stole smaller).

1100 yards/990 meters laceweight yarn
Size 8 seed beads (approximately 1000)

Shown in KnitPicks Bare Laceweight (dyed by the designer) knit on US 4's (3.5 mm) needles.

Also included in this pattern, Serendipity Socks. Motifs similar to those on the stole were created for a coordinating sock. Wear them together or just enjoy the socks in your more casual moments. Stitch patterns are charted. Requires 100 grams fingering weight sock yarn to knit at 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch. Shown in KnitPicks Bare Fingering weight (dyed by the designer).

Both the stole and the socks are included in a single pattern purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

I thought I'd take a blog post to answer some questions that come up periodically from pattern purchasers. I will link to this post from the pattern pages for myself and my mother and hopefully save everyone some time. If you can think of any other questions you'd like addressed, please leave them in the comments.

How does the pattern purchasing work for Pink Lemon Twist and Georgina Bow Creations Patterns?
All of our patterns are sold using PayPal. Once your payment has been processed by PayPal you will get an email with a download link for each pattern you have purchased. The patterns are downloadable as pdf files. Once you download the files for the patterns you purchased you can print out a copy of the pattern. Many patterns have more than one variation or, in the case of our sock designs, two separate designs in each pattern. If you look at the file before you print, you can print out only the pages you need for the particular project you're working on and save yourself some paper and ink costs. When you are ready to work another variation or the other sock design, print out that one.

I don't have a PayPal account. Is it safe?
PayPal is one of the safest sites on the Internet. Call your bank and get their opinion of PayPal if you're unsure. That being said, PayPal is on the Internet and is not Fort Knox. You still have to protect your own system. Run anti virus software regularly, run spyware checks on your computer regularly, clean out your computer's browser cache. If your PayPal account gets hacked, the hackers probably got through from your system, not PayPal's. Yes, sometimes bad things happen to people's PayPal accounts, but if you protect your computer and your system properly, you should be reasonably safe. If you link PayPal to a bank account, it would be wise to open a separate account for that purpose. That way if someone gets into your PayPal account, they can't take everything from your main account.

I don't use PayPal for various reasons. Can I purchase the patterns another way?
If you don't use PayPal, we can figure out another way for you to get the patterns you are interested in. Just message us on Ravelry (I'm PinkLemon, Mom is GeorginaBow) or use the email address that comes up when you click the "Add To Cart" button and let us know how we can help you. If you live outside the USA, it seems to be cheaper to find a friend who uses PayPal and have them purchase the pattern for you instead of getting a check for US funds.

How long does it take to get the pattern after I purchase it?
Once the payment is processed by PayPal, the download link is sent via email. The time it takes PayPal to process your funds varies however. If your funds are coming from a PayPal account or a credit card, PayPal can instantly verify that the money is there, the payment is processed immediately and you should have your download links in just a few minutes. If your funds are in a bank account you have linked with PayPal, PayPal has no idea how much money you have in the account. In this case they treat your payment as an eCheck and it takes them 4 business days to transfer the money from your bank account and process the payment. Once the payment is processed however, you will get the email with the download links.

My payment has been processed but I still haven't gotten the email with the download links.
The email with the download links is sent by an automated file delivery system that is supposed to be notified when PayPal processes the payment. 98% of the time this works perfectly. Occasionally it doesn't. The first thing you should do is check your spam catchers and your firewall. These tend to protect us from dangerous things like knitting patterns. If it's not there, send an email to the email address on your PayPal receipt, put the name of the pattern in the subject line (so we know it's not spam), include the email address you use with PayPal, and let us know that you haven't received the download links. When we get your email, we will check to see if we can figure out what happened and verify your purchase. Then we'll email you the pattern file. The only downside to this is that neither myself nor my mother are on the computer 24 hours a day. Please give us 48 hours to respond and slightly longer on the weekends. We'll get back to you and we'll get everything sorted out.

I got the download links, downloaded the pattern, but it's missing pictures/text/charts HELP!
OK, this actually happens fairly frequently and is one of the easiest problems to fix. The problem is not the pattern file, it's Adobe Reader. You'll need to go to Adobe.com and download the newest upgrade to Adobe Reader (it's free), install it and open the pattern file again. It should all be there now. I've found I have to update Adobe Reader about twice a year to avoid this. If you deleted the pattern file, thinking it was corrupted, drop us an email at the address on your PayPal receipt, put the pattern name in the subject line and include the email address you use with PayPal so we can verify your purchase and we'll send you the pattern file by email. In the meantime, update your version of Adobe Reader because until you do that, the new pattern file won't open properly either.

My computer crashed and I lost all my patterns! Can I get them again?
Yes. There are two ways you can do this. You can go to PayLoadz.com and request additional download links for your purchased patterns. They will send us an email asking us to approve this and giving us the dates you purchased the patterns. The other way is to email us and tell us what happened. You'll need to give us the email address(es) you use with PayPal, the names of the patterns you had purchased previously, and approximate dates of purchase. Then we'll go in and verify this and send you pattern files via email. Depending on how many patterns you have purchased and how many separate transactions there were, it might take a few days to get everything sorted out, but we should be able to reconstruct your past purchases and get the patterns to you again.

Can I back the patterns up somewhere to avoid losing them if my computer goes belly up?
Yes, feel free to keep a personal copy of the pattern file on a thumb drive or on a CD. I like thumb drives, they have huge amounts of storage, you can add new files to it anytime you need to (I have one I keep all my purchased knitting pattern files on), and they're pretty cheap. If you copy the file for a friend, that is a copyright violation and you and your friend are stealing the pattern. The same copyright laws apply to the pattern files as would apply to a paper pattern you purchased at your LYS.

I want to buy some Pink Lemon Twist Patterns as well as some Georgina Bow Creations Patterns, can I combine them in one purchase?
Unfortunately, no. While I do have my mother's patterns on my blog, that is because she doesn't have a blog of her own to sell her patterns on. We are independent pattern designers and keep separate books. She lives in Colorado, I live in Virginia, so the logistics of combining patterns from both of us into one purchase would be difficult. We apologize for the inconvenience, but you'll need to make two separate transactions to get patterns from both of us.

I have more questions, how do I contact you?
The easiest way is to message us on Ravelry: I'm PinkLemon and Mom is GeorginaBow. If you aren't on Ravelry you can email us. If you click the "Add to Cart" button on one of our pattern pages the PayPal shopping cart will pop up. On it will be an email address (mine if you click the button on a Pink Lemon Twist pattern and my mother's if you click the button on a Georgina Bow Creations pattern). You don't have to complete the transaction, just get the email address and drop a note to whoever you need to.

If anyone has any other questions they'd like answered, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

Broken Heart Blues and Message Socks

Presenting the Message Socks and Broken Heart Blues Socks from Georgina Bow Creations Patterns!

Two fun, fast sock designs make up this pattern collection from Georgina Bow Creations. The first design, Broken Heart Blues is a lace broken heart. The lace design is charted, making this sock a great way to get your confidence on charts if you've never used them.

The second design, Message Socks, have a beaded "secret" message, near the top of the sock. The best part? You get to design your own message! The small amount of beading is easy and fun.

Also included is a basic top down sock design. This will give you a generic template for any yarn and any foot.

Anyone who loves socks will enjoy these fun designs, and if you've been thinking about doing the Mystery Stole or any other design that involves lace and beads, but are unsure about either, these patterns will give you a small sample of each.

Angel of Music Wrap

Another lovely, lace design from Georgina Bow Creations!

The Angel of Music Wrap is inspired by The Phantom of the Opera. The beauty and mystery of the romance as well as the choreography of the dancing are enchanting. The antiphonal passages, the duets, the candles, and the curling mist all enhance the illusion. The character of the angel of music and the red rose left for her by the phantom are of course, central to the tale. All of these elements are represented, either by lace motifs or by beads on the stole. Optional design elements of bells and a harp can replace the fleur-de-lis and the rose to give the angel a Christmas theme.

The shaping of this wrap is unique, part stole, part triangle shawl, it measures 65.5 inches long across the top and the width at the ends is 7 inches. The center of the wrap is 23.5 inches wide. Extensive beading reveals the story behind this design. There are no options given for adding additional length to this design.

Shown in Jaggerspun Zephyr Woolsilk in Ivory. This stole uses less than 900 yards of laceweight yarn as written. Please see the pattern for details about beads.

$6.00

After downloading and saving the pattern file to your harddrive, please print the pattern in color, in order to see beading details.

Lady Lace Mitts

New from Georgina Bow Creations, Designer of the upcoming Mystery Stole 4, Lady Lace Mitts!

Knit in laceweight yarn, these delicate lace mitts are designed in two lengths: shorter glove length mitts as shown, and a second version that goes farther up the arm for more lacy drama. These are perfect for formal occasions like proms or weddings, but those of us who enjoy lace and feminine styles will find them to be the perfect accessory for a wide range of events. Personally, I think these would be just the thing peeking out from the cuffs of a leather jacket.

Using only a small amount of yarn, they are perfect for using up leftover partial balls of laceweight yarn after you've completed your newest shawl. These are quick to knit and would make lovely gifts as well.

Stitch patterns are given as charts and as written out directions, so they are accessible to most any knitter. These are knit towards the fingertips. Minimal shaping is necessary as lace has a natural elasticity, making this design appropriate for even a beginning lace knitter.

The shorter length of the mitts uses approximately 150 yards of laceweight yarn and the longer length mitts uses approximately 500 yards of laceweight yarn. Shown in Jaggerspun Zephyr Woolsilk (630 yards/ 2 ounces).

As You Like It Felted Slipper Boots

New from Georgina Bow Creations!

Tired of cold toes as you go about your day to day activities? Knit yourself a pair of slipper boots! You knit them extra large, then felt them down to the correct size, making them dense, thick and warm. For extra fun and personalization, dye them your favorite color. They could also be embellished with buttons or other trims to really dress them up.

Knit to wear like slippers, with plenty of room for cozy socks, these boots have a folded down cuff to add extra warmth to your ankles. Like hot cocoa for your toes, you'll reach for these when you need a little extra snuggle on those cold days and nights.

Basic felting instructions (using the washing machine) and basic dyeing instructions are included as well as sizing for US Women's shoe size 3 to 12.

These are knit from the top down to the toe on two circular needles at once. Even if you've never knit on two circular needles at once, there are a number of tutorials available on the Internet if you need more information on this particular technique.

Yarn shown in the sample pair is KnitPicks Bare Peruvian Highland Wool.

Majestic Mountains Corrections and a Surprise!

I need to let everyone who has purchased Majestic Mountains by Georgina Bow Creations prior to November 6, 2007 know that there are some corrections to the pattern. Mom notified me over the weekend that she had found some errors in the design and due to a cantankerous computer that won't let her make changes in the file without redrawing the entire charts, she is issuing the errata for the design. There are a couple of ways to get the corrections:

1. Go to Ravelry and look at the Majestic Mountains pattern listing if you are a member.
2. Check in the files section of the KAL for Majestic Mountains if you are a member of that.
3. Email my Mom at GeorginaBowCreations AT Yahoo DOT com and ask her to send you the errata pdf file. Please be patient, she will be sending these out individually, so it could take a couple of days to get it. If you don't get it within 5 days, drop her another email - your's might have gotten lost.

If you purchase the pattern anytime after November 6, you will get the errata pdf delivered to you with the pattern file. Thank you.

Guess what? There is a new Pink Lemon Twist Pattern, but it won't be released to the public until the end of January. Want to know how to get it earlier? This past Spring I was contacted by Valerie of Yarn4Socks about a pattern for their sock club. We decided I would design the pattern for the December Sock. On Monday I sent her the Exclusive Yarn 4 Socks Sock Club Edition of this pattern. It has two sock designs in it - Scarborough Fair and Caledonian Mist. The Scarborough Fair design is the December pattern. Now, you're wondering what all of this is about if you're not a member of the club aren't you? Well, they have a few openings for the December part of this club left so if you hurry, you can sign up and get the brand new PinkLemonTwist sock designs before they go public as well as some really gorgeous sock yarn (I got to knit the sock in the actual club yarn - yummy!) to work it up in. Interested? Just go here for more details and to sign up. I'm not going to post a picture (it's a surprise), but personally I think this might be the best sock design I've come up with so far! So click the link above and sign up if you're interested.

Majestic Mountains

A New Pattern From Georgina Bow Creations!

Snow capped mountains and evergreen trees highlight the center panel of this stole that will protect you from chilly breezes. Inspired by the Rocky Mountains that she sees everyday in her Colorado home, Georgina Bow designed a lace stole in honor of the majesty of mountains everywhere. Beads accent the geometric designs on each end, as well as accenting the snow and trees. Ends and borders are knitted as you go, so you don't have to go back and finish these areas later. By changing the yarn color of your stole, you could depict a mountain range in any season as well as the changing colors of daylight.

• 1000 yards of laceweight yarn (Shown in Furr Yarns, Inc. Handpainted Zephyr in the Aegean colorway.)


• Finished Size as shown 20 inches wide x 67 inches long with directions for lengthening and shortening the design included in the pattern.
• Please see Eratta Note below.

ERRATA: Correction for "Chart one - row 1"

Row E has two more stitches than are used in Row 1. Make the following change:
On the left side count in until you reach stitch number 6. This is a knit stitch between two yarn overs. Change it to "knit 2 together".
On the right side count in until you reach stitch number 6. This also a knit stitch between two yarn overs. Change it to "slip, slip, knit".

Promise of Spring

The Promise of Spring is often what keeps us going in the last, cold, gray days of Winter. Knit your own Promise of Spring and no matter what the weather is doing outside, you will feel like the sun is shining on your knitting basket. Designed with easily wearable raglan shaping and tips for adjusting the fit to your own body, this sweater will surely be a favorite. Knit from the bottom up in the round, a simple lace edging highlights the lower edge of both sweater and sleeves. A solid stockinette body has just enough substance to ward off a chilly Spring breeze. Small flowers and budding branches adorn the yoke and the sleeves, which fall loosely to the elbows. By working in the round, there are no seams to sew, only a bit of grafting in the underarms. Charted lace designs and simple construction make this a good design for an adventurous beginner. Front Lace Detail

Knit at 5 stitches per inch in KnitPicks Shine, (the designer hand dyed the yarn for the sweater shown here), this design could be worked in any worsted weight cotton or cotton blend for a comfortable sweater, easily wearable during the temperature shifts Spring is known for.

Sleeve Detail
Hem Detail

• Finished Bust Sizes: 36" (40", 44", 48", 52")

Solace

When it's cold and windy outside, when you need a little bit of time for yourself, or you just want to curl up with a book, a cup of tea and your cat, Solace is the wrap you'll reach for. Large, lacy, and luxurious, this stole knits up quickly in worsted or aran weight yarn. Simple lace patterns are easy to memorize and a great way to learn to "read" your knitting. If you can work yarn overs and decreases, you'll be able to knit this pattern. Finished size is 32 inches wide by 72 inches long, but both width and length are easily adjustible to your own preferences.

Requires 1200 yards of Worsted or Aran weight yarn.

$6.00

Please note that Georgina Bow Creations Patterns are separate from Pink Lemon Twist Patterns and the shopping carts cannot be combined. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this might cause.

To introduce her pattern, Georgina, mother of the Pink Lemon, will be hosting a Solace Knit Along. Come join in the fun. (Click Here)
