    I’d love to knit this but am disappointed that the pattern is only available in the book. I really don’t want to buy books of patterns when I will probably only knit one or two of them. Are there any plans to release the patterns separately in the future? If so I might buy the kit and stash it until the pattern is available on its own.

      Hi Julie

      In this case, the KAL is a celebration of our book which we published to mark our 10th anniversary. The patterns are therefore only available in our book. However, we do lots of other activities and campaigns focusing on single patterns, or a specific designer or a yarn, you name it. BUT yes, this particular one is only in celebration of the book itself.

      Have a lovely day,
      Maya
