Super easy and fast fingerless mittens.

I wanted a bit of a Victorian inspired scarf. Just plain with a bit of texture and just the right colours.

Winter is dreary enough, so why not have some dancing Octopodes around your neck?

I made these socks for my friend Elizabeth.

Wonderful little tam to be worn open with your hair (specially awesome if you have dreadlocks) hanging out the top, or with the bow cinched and tied as a regular slouchy hat.

This hat was inspired by my leftover yarn bin. I had this gorgeous shade of Malabrigo Rios left over and I loved the way it worked with the gray. Sadly I only had a bit of the gray superwash left. So a colourwork pattern was the answer.

Summer forests and the dappling of light coming through it’s canopy inspired this beautiful, airy and elegant shawl.

I was looking for a good solution to keep my dreadlock babies in check during this summer. I wanted something cute and handmade. I had a clear vision of what it needed to be, but could not find a pattern to work for me, so I came up with my own. ;)

I was looking for a light scarf to wear in the summer months.

I wanted white socks. Plain white socks to go with everything. Yeah… right… PLAIN. why have plain socks, when you can have lace and cables?

This is our contribution to the 2014 yarn tour!

Cute little spring/summer sock.

Inspired by 1950’ ski hats.

Wear your heart on your sleeve…. on your calf…

Super easy and fun sock. Knits up quickly, because you just want to see one more round.

This pattern is for an A-line skirt.

Very cute, tight fitting boat neck sweater. Can easily be dressed up, or down.

Get ready for warmer temperatures and new skirts with a new set of knee-high socks.

I wanted a vintage looking, easy going sock, with a little bit of colourwork. I wanted a sock, that could easily fit into the log cabins of the 1940’s and 50’s. Something functional, that does the job. I wanted a bit of design to go along with it, but nothing that would overshadow the sleek elegance of a simple ribbed sock. Just easy enough to ...

Felted cloche hat.

Inspired by the Hobbit’s “Desolation of Smaug” and Tauriel’s armguards.

Asymmetrical shawl, easy to knit, very versatile to wear.

This sweater was inspired by several James Bond ski chase scenes. What better than to sit back and watch him save the world? Do it in style with this sweater.

Easy to wear weekend pullover.

Cute little retro feel vest. The pictures of the vest in three colours show the vest with the optional lower neckline. There is a version with a much higher neckline (pictured in multi-coloured vest) written in the pattern. The lower neckline is written optionally.

Super cute little fingerless mittens. The colourwork make them interesting to knit, the garter stitch ridges give them texture.

Super warm, super cozy and super flattering cardigan.

One skein of 220 and one skein of 220 paints will make all three sizes of the hats given.

This is a great one afternoon project!

Fun and fast knit. The cable pattern keeps it interesting and makes it reversible. The picot edging gives it a nice, finishing edge.

You will only need a little bit of each of the skeins of yarn (We held the cascade 150 double, through out the project, so you will only get two hats out the 150, but the other two colours you could get three hats out of one skein each colour.)

For these mittens you won’t need the whole ball of Jewel. A bit over half is enough.

The pattern as written uses three balls of the Lana Grande. It only takes a very little bit of the third ball, if you make a few rounds less in height, it will only take two.

Great stocking stuffers. Fast knit and a great way to use up little bits of leftover yarns, or that super awesome you only have a few yards of!

Cute colourwork scarf. If you want to make it for a child (49 inches long) you will only need one skein of the background colour.

Fun, textured infinity scarf. Super easy, while-watching-TV-knitting. The sateen gives it awesome drape. It is held double throughout to give it a bit of body. This also makes it super squishy!

To make these socks fit a larger foot, just add repeats before working the heel. You will need more yarn for a larger sock! If you want the sock tighter, just increase less for the toe. The pattern repeat is over 6 stitches, so any number divisible by 6 would work.

Fun little summer shirt! Great yarn!

Gauge is not incredibly necessary for this project. There iwll be yarn left over, so if your gauge is a bit bigger than mine, it will still work out.

Super fast, super easy, super cute.

Simple and elegant. Something to wear with jeans as well with a pretty dress. I wanted a little something to go over my shoulders when I sit in air conditioning, or for our summer evenings outside, here in the PNW (not so warm, come 9 pm)

You will need one tube of size 6 beads.

One skein of Luna paints will make the towel and a matching dishcloth.

You will need two tubes of size 6 beads for this jacket and a crochet hook small enough to fit through the hole of the beads. There is no way to string the beads on and then knit the pattern. They will HAVE to be put in with a crochet hook!

The socklettes will fit a woman’s foot for shoe size up to US 8 the socks can easily be made bigger, by knitting a longer section, before starting the heel. You will need more yarn for it though!

ERRATA: Prior to 9/6/2013

The gauge is 16 dc x 9 rows = 3x3 inches, but there was no way to put that in.

One skein, one shawl.

The gauge for the shawl is 11 st x 10 rows = 2.5 x2.5 inches.

Getting ready for the Holidays sale all through August! 50% off this and all our smaller project patterns! Get it now!

Gauge: 7 st x 9.5 rows = 1.5 x 1.5 inches

These little owls are both made with one strand of cascade pima silk and one strand cascade kid seta held together throughout.

You only need about 3 yards of the red yarn for the hear and you will also have about half the skein of the main colour left over if you use the Highland eco duo.

One skein will make both the hat and the cowl.

You will also need 6 1/4 inch buttons (3 per mitten)

Super easy one skein project.

The gauge for this is 20 stitches by 8 rows - 2.75 x 1.75 inches

Gauge is not critical to the success of this pattern.

Gauge is not incredibly important for this project. Make a swatch and find the needle size you like best with the yarn. You will definitely have enough yards to finish the project. There was quite a bit leftover from the skein when I was done.

Cute little project for that bit of leftover luxury yarn!

I made this shawl as a present for my wonderful friend Molly Swan-Sheeran (of celtic swan forge fame, go check out celticswan.com) and a bunch of my friends asked for the pattern, so here it is…

The pattern is written for one hank of gossamer (440 yards)

Instructions are given for both knitting in the round and flat (with seam in back). There is a chart for the pattern for knitting in the round.
