The Emerald City beckons with these arm-warmers inspired by the stylized buildings of OZ. Gothic Lace starts on cuff and flows into twisted lacy cables, ending on the hand with a motif that echoes the silhouette of the Emerald City.
Wear these when you need a dose of the magic of OZ.
Look at my beautiful friend Emily, modeling these armwarmers! (Thanks Em!)

This pattern is the third of four in a collection inspired by the Wizard of Oz. I'm swatching the last design now and will share it with you in December. I'm a little sad to be nearing the end of the series but also looking forward to starting on the list of projects I get to design when these are all done.
I keep thinking That I want to write a whole book of patterns inspired by the Wizard of Oz. Actually, I have about a dozen pretend books I want to write. I usually keep this to myself because in my fantasy I may one day knock them out, one at a time. I guess I better start knocking out those proposals, one at a time, and see if any click.
2010: a year of more dreams, including a starting knitting book? I guess I should put on these mitts and drink in a dose of the magic of Oz.

That sounds like a really excellent club. And book. I'd buy that book.
OK, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of an Oz pattern book! (There's a reason I am in both the FFtC Oz club AND the WoolGirl one...)
Where is the pattern available for club members?
Thanks guys!
