patternhope
/ˈpætənˌhəʊp/nounVerified NewAlso in: Schnittmusterhoffnung (Deutsch) · patrónesperanza (Español) · patronespoir (Français)
The knitting or sewing pattern bought before the skills existed, kept for the person who will.
Patternhope is filed with difficulty ratings ignored and special needles unbought. The pattern is read annually like a letter to a future self. That future self arrives each year, reads the abbreviations, puts the kettle on, and refiles the letter with the wool bank intact.
Etym. — pattern + hope — the craft aspiration, printed and kept.
