Heartstrings
Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer established HeartStrings to provide quality instruction to knitters who want their items to be special, as well as practical and enjoyable to knit. With a background in music and mathematics, she enjoys capturing the melody of color/texture and harmonizing it with style and function.
All HeartStrings patterns incorporate master knitter techniques that minimize extra finishing steps. If you don't consider yourself a master at knitting, don't worry. These techniques are elegantly integrated into Jackie's designs and clearly expained in the pattern instructions. For less-experienced knitters, this is a way to learn new knitting skills. For more advanced knitters, you can benefit by seeing new ways to apply these techniques. You will find that HeartStrings patterns are a pleasure to knit, and the completed project will be a source of pride.
Some great lace weight or 2ply yarns to use for Heartstrings patterns are: Habu Kusa Silk Mohair, Peria Kid Mohair and Hand Maiden Sea Silk. For fingering weight or 4ply, try Knitting Goddess' 4-Ply Hand-Dyed Cashmere
