Welcome to our 'Jared Flood Along'! This page will be home for finished projects of Jared's designs from his new book, Made In Brooklyn, and also his classics from his blog Brooklyntweed. Jared is now on tour doing book signings and teaching workshops; he also has a trunk show out there. Get in touch with your local yarn shop to see if he is coming to your area. If you belong to a weekly knitting group and are knitting some of Jared's new designs (or his older designs too), we'd love for you to take some snap shots and send them in to the website here along with a few lines on what yarns are being used and how it's going. If you are a yarn shop, and are having Jared to your store, please take some digital photos, and email those in and we'll share those with everyone on the home page. This page will be up until the end of the year, so you have plenty of time to get a swatch going. Have fun - and happy fall knitting! |
