Creekside: Pattern NowAvailable
With sideways yoke panels featuring an interesting blend of twists and eyelets, the Creekside tunic is as fun to knit as it is to wear. The length is flattering as a layer over leggings or skinny jeans, and has slimming side panels featuring a similar eyelet and cable design.
Named “Creekside” after the 2010 Vancouver Olympics venue. This was my Olympic project, and I am awarding myself a gold medal for completing the design and publishing the pattern before the Closing Ceremonies. Yay!
I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I did!

What a pretty tunic! I was reading your tweets and I don’t tweet(?) so I’m replying here. Are your shin splints from running outdoors or from running on the treadmill? I get wicked shinsplints from walking/running. Luckily we have a former Olympic runner at my workplace who told me how to deal with them. Maybe you’ve already got this information but I thought I’d share anyways since shinsplints suck. Ice and compression help. Icing 15 mins on/15 mins off. For compression just wrap a tensor around your entire lower leg. Depending on how bad they are, the compression may be enough to allow you to run/walk in comfort. Hope your shins are feeling better soon!
