in Featured,features,free pattern,Patterns

I had a dream I was wearing these spiral socks, and that they were lovely to knit and even more wonderful to wear. (I’m not a crazy person, I don’t normally dream about socks.) Named after my friend Eunice, these socks are sunny, fun, and a little bit odd. While I could have charted this [...]

Details about the new Traveling Woman pattern

July 25, 2010

I’ve been working hard on a new version of Traveling Woman that has prevented me from updating. Between dyeing stuff up for Femme Fatale Fibers, knitting some commissioned design work, and doing the new Traveling Woman, I’ve been a busy lady. So. Details!

Hey Jupiter

July 2, 2009

Ultimately, I decided I wanted a pattern that would flow down the [...]

Yvaine

May 12, 2009

Yvaine is a triangular shawl, which is knit from the top to the bottom point with increases on every right side row. I was able to knit the shawl using the row combinations below using one ball of Handmaiden Fine Yarns Casbah Sock in Stardust – which, coincidentally, I wouldn’t recommend. See that blub in [...]

Goneril & Regan

March 19, 2009

I am a mass consumer when it comes to popular culture. I love taking it in, critiquing it, and, well, mocking it endlessly. Rock of Love Bus, anyone? But more to the point: I get inspired by the characters I read about, or watch on film and television, and I decided to knit things that [...]

Coraline

February 17, 2009

I didn’t make a PDF for this pattern because it’s not anything overly complicated. It’s really just guidelines for making jogless stripes and using scrap yarns to your advantage. But I still wanted to release something on it because Coraline is such an adorable book (and movie). I selected the dark blue and bright yellow [...]
