I’m finally to that point in my life were I can spare time to dust off my old design skills and start letting those creative juices flow! So I plan to refresh my designs and start with something new as well.

My old patterns have been unavailable for quite some time so in the spirit of starting a-new this pattern will be available as a free download for a limited time! Please enjoy!


This shawl was inspired by the Californian mountains and my impressions of them as I saw them for the first time. It was designed to be knit with just one skein of sock yarn for all of those “guilt free” sock yarn purchases and the skeins of sock yarn in your stash that are calling to you but are to beautiful to put on your feet. I made mine with a sinfully wonderful cashmere/merino blend that was both springy and floaty, absolutely delightful.
The instructions are written in charts but as the pattern is easy to learn should be easy for first time lace knitters to use, and requires minimal blocking.
