Our cats, Sammi and Willow are our fur babies and we like to give them Christmas presents. They love all the catnip and fuzzy toys we put in their stockings. We just put the stocking on the floor and they pull the gifts our themselves. Why not make a stocking for the fur baby in your life?

Our fur babies are part of the family. We buy them gifts and they get a special meal for the holidays. I decided they needed Christmas stockings and believe it or not they love getting them and opening the treats and toys in them. Why not make a stocking for the fur baby in your life?

I’ve got a collection of snowmen and ladies that I put on the mantel at Christmas time so I thought why not a snowman stocking?

The Red Flyer sled used to be the best gift to get for Christmas. Now a days we decorate a sled and stand it up for decoration. This is my interpretation as a Christmas stocking.

I love wrapping paper and cards with these old- fashioned red trucks so I thought why not a Christmas stocking. I hope you like my interpretation.

Father Christmas always gives an old-world charm to the holidays so I thought he deserved his own stocking

Nothing says Happy Holidays like a decorated Christmas Tree. We put ours up the day after Thanksgiving so we can enjoy the lights and warmth it brings to the season

If you have seen the “Serenity In Life” cowl you will recognize the lace pattern in this shawl. I fell in love with the pattern and wanted to see what else I could design with it. I wanted to keep it simple and a shawl seemed the best thing. I added some garter and another simple lace pattern and the Shawl of Serenity was born. Hope you like it.

Introduction: This sweater was made at the request of my 13 years old niece who loves wolves. She’s been fascinated by wolves her whole life and has written many reports on them for school. She asked for an oversized, cropped hoodie so I got to work. I designed a wolf silhouette with a full moon. A boxy shape, with 6 inches of ease and modified...

One day I was waiting at the Cape Cod Conservatory for one of my nieces and I had a bag of Mountains colors yarn with me that I had just gotten. I wanted to see what it looked like in a simple lace pattern so I cast on and just started knitting. What I ended up with was a zig zag lace pattern and a design was born. I found this pattern to be ve...

This pattern was inspired by the shell of the box turtle on Cape Cod and the Mountain Colors colorway Turtle Lake. Both sides of this slip st pattern are lovely and make it reversible

My 2 year old niece fell in love with the seahorses at the aquarium so I decided she needed a sweater as a reminder of the fun she had. She loved the “little horses” floating in the sea of blue and the one button closure gave her plenty of playing room.

My husband got a chuckle when he saw this design. He said it reminded him of the lawn ornaments.

Lighthouses can be seen all around Cape Cod’s seashore. They are an important part of the “Cape Experience”. I hope this design brings a little bit of Cape Cod into your life.

There’s nothing like a day by the sea watching the sailboats out on the water. Living on Cape Cod we’re lucky to be able to drive a few miles in any direction and sit and watch these beauties sail by. This pattern gives you a little bit of that feeling. Pattern is written for children sizes 2, 4 and 6. Full color chart is easy to follow and at ...

“Tis the season. Every Christmas tree needs a soldier to guard it and here’s just guy for the job. Knit flat with worsted weight yarn he’ll be on the job in no time.

“Tis the season! I designed Mrs Claus her own stocking so she wouldn’t feel left out. Everyone knows that behind a good man is a fabulous woman. Knit flat with worsted weight yarn this stocking works up fast and is ready to fill in no time.

Lili just loves horses so when she came to me and asked for a horse sweater of course I had to say yes. She helped me pick out the yarns and she chose from the different motifs. I added the fringe and stripes and her sweater was finished. As the pattern states you can use garter st for trim instead of the fringe. But the fringe is so much fun I...

Siena saw a zebra on tv and asked for her own. We explained that zebras are wild animals, but I could put one on a sweater for her. So she and I sat down and picked out colors, (blue is her favorite), and then I did a sample with a zebra I had drawn and she went wild. A little updating by making the back a little longer than the front and addin...

Meet Pinky the Octopus. My nieces asked me to make them sweaters with an octopus and she was born. This pattern is written for different styles. If you look closely at the pictures you’ll notice one is fitted and one is a-line. If you prefer a straight look just eliminate the shaping. I’ve also included 2 different trims so you can choose you l...

I live on Cape Cod, but if you live in Maine or you vacation in either place you’ll recognize the shellfish on the front of this sweater. Everybody knows a lobster when they see one. Well, they’re just as much fun to wear as they are to eat!
