We are thrilled to announce that Pattern 6,000* will be Lucy Neatby's Baby Venus design-- a wee version of her very popular Venus Rising cardi for adults. We're at 5963 now, so we should be there by or around Monday 2 August (a holiday here in Ontario, Canada) if not before. Watch this space! We're very excited and honoured.

*Of course, assigning a number is arbitrary; patterns get activated and deactivated and reactivated regularly, and a firm actual number is hard to establish. But if you don't celebrate an imperfect number, then you never celebrate. And that would be intolerable.
