in for sale pattern

Comprised of 3 patterns, the Arch Shawls collection features stitch motifs inspired by elements of Venetian architecture. I don’t claim to be an expert on architecture, but the vast buildings throughout Italy inspired me to create shawls based on the styles used in their unique structures. Voussoir Shawl is modeled after the wedge-shaped bricks that fill in [...]

Like Honey Cowl

Thumbnail image for Like Honey Cowl

Honeycomb cables and textures come together with bright, vibrant yarn to make a cowl that is just as emblematic of spring as the flowers and buzzing bees enjoying them. I wanted a cheery cowl that I could wear in the mornings to help stave off the chill that wasn’t too heavy. This delightful DK weight [...]

Blueberry Scowl

Hoorah! The last pattern in the Great Cowl KAL. Scarf + cowl = scowl. I really like infinity cowls, and I also love unnecessarily long scarves. Who says you can’t have both? Knit flat, this scarf features optional buttons, allowing it to be wrapped up and worn as a cowl. This clever little project incorporates textured [...]

Perpetually Persistent Cowl

Overzied puffy coats are a new thing for me. I’ve never had to bother zipping a coat all the way up to my nose. I’ve also never had to deal with my nose leaking, and then freezing on my face. Solution? A super tall, super warm, super quick cowl that stands up on its own. [...]

Weeble Wobble Cowl

Knitting in the round makes me really happy, and I love cowls. The short rows add a little spice–and shape–to an otherwise simple pattern. Because it is worked in stockinette and garter stitch, this pattern is great at showing off hand painted or variegated yarns. The easy in- the-round construction makes it easy to adapt [...]

A Very Good Cowl Indeed

When I was younger, Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorite stories. I ob- sessively read the novel and begged my mother to decorate my room in an Alice motif (she did, which resulted in endless nightmares about falling down rabbit holes). The two stitch patterns fold into each other, one featuring whole, complete [...]

Thistle Cap has been updated! No longer part of the free Holiday Hat KAL, the pattern is available for $3. But! I’ve made improvements. I have adjusted the sizing slightly – some said the pattern was too large – and added additional smaller sizes for more options. The gauge listed is taken before blocking. I [...]

Snow White’s Lace

Snow White’s Lace is now available! This is the fourth (and final) pattern from the Fairy Tales Saga. Snow White’s dress was the height of fashion during the Disney heyday of my childhood. But now that I’m older, I think her ensemble needs a bit of an upgrade. A little bit of feminine lace, with [...]

Ode to the Bay

Ariel was always one of my favorite Disney characters–she was a ginger, after all. This shawl is inspired by another mermaid, though. The mermaid from the original Hans Christian Andersen tale was more like your typical fairy tale damsel than Ariel ever was and I found her adventure for love to be more sincere than [...]

Lost Woods Cap

I’ve never been big on hats – but I think I finally found something that works for me. The baggy stop of the hat makes it easy for me to tuck my large amounts of curly hair underneath it without too much squishing. It also makes it a bit more stylish, in addition to being [...]

I adore this pattern. It makes me so happy. It takes a super complex cable motif and makes it the center of attention on a very simply constructed cowl. Part of the Fairy Tales Saga, Ivory Tower Cowl Precious princesses locked in the highest tower have very little to do all day except wait to [...]
