Patterns by Jennifer Raymond of Tinking Turtle Designs

I believe that people are compelled to create beautiful things. Through my quirky yet classic designs, I aim to empower people to explore their own artistic impulses.

I design both knitting and crochet patterns. My crochet patterns tend to be simple designs with interesting construction: I love using short rows and crochet through the back loop!  My knitting designs feature slip stitches and interesting techniques.

New Pattern from Annie’s Crochet World Magazine: Rag-ety Rug!

This quick-to-workup project is a scrap-busting dream!  Use rainbow-colored rags for a fun kid-friendly rug, or more neutral tones for a classy and rustic front-door project.

My designs are most often quirky, classic and thoughtful. I love to take a technique, motif or idea I’ve just discovered, then twist and push it until it becomes a design.

I’m particularly interested in designing knit or crochet sweaters, cardigans or tops.  In crochet I also love to work on shawls that feature modular construction, broomstick lace, and hairpin lace.  In knitting, I love making socks with interesting stitch patterns, unique construction, or nature inspired designs.

My style tends to be whimsical, natural, feminine, sexy and classic.  I like to let lovely yarns do as much of the talking as my stitch patterns and construction.
