This cowl is quick and lovely, suited for anyone. Not too girly, with just enough feminine detail. Leave off the shell border and add a couple of stitches to the garter edge stitches for a more manly/unisex look.

Lex is a pattern for fingerless mitts, with some cable detail. These were knit with guys in mind so this is great for a gift for any guy, but they’d be great for a quick knit with some leftover Malabrigo or other great yarn for yourself (or anyone else, really!). Since these are fairly simple they’d look great in a range of yarns, kettle dyed, ...

A cute little basket to use up some lonely handspun wool! I used a little less than 2 oz of heavy worsted handspun to make this adorable little basket, and it took about an hour! =)

This hat is worked back and fourth on straight needles (or circs, if you prefer). You can do it one of two ways, do a provisional cast on and then do a three needle bind off, and mattress stitch just the top portion, or cast on and bind off normally and mattress stitch all the way up the seam.

A quick and easy cowl I whipped up for a work gift exchange. I held the Malabrigo double to make it knit up quicker, but the pattern can be adjusted easily for any yarn weight (hence the Recipe part! ;-]).

I wanted to make a birthday present for my younger brother and I wanted some kind of skull-something that wasn’t intarsia or anything like that so I found Skull Cable by Adrian Bizilia and I modified it to suit my tastes and whipped up this hat!
