Evie’s Gone Camping, by friend of the flock Jill Thompson Beach, is inspired by a camping trip to Maine that she took her dog Evie on last year. She loved every minute of the trip - running along the pebbly beach, playing frisbee in the wide open field, visiting Acadia’s Thunder Hole and she even slept between her and her husband both nights. I drew upon the beautiful starry skies that we saw each night and the mountains and trees that surrounded our cabin. 

A note: Evie's Gone Camping is available as a digital download and a yarn+pattern bundle here at H+W.com, but 100% of pattern sales revenue goes directly to the designer, just as if you bought the pattern directly from their website or on Ravelry. We think this way, everybody wins: you get an easier, more straightforward experience as a consumer, our indie designer friends get to realize the maximum revenue from their work, and you get another great way to access new designs in our yarn outside of our pattern collections.
