Love the flexibility in this pattern. It is built on mitered squares which are then sewn together and bordered. Lots of choices from the number, colors and construction of mitered squares plus the amount and colors of bordering is also optional.

An engaging but flexible and easy mitered square project.

A yummy hat perfect for rich colors of yarn, DK or worsted. Four charts are available two in each DK and Worsted. Hats cn be personalized by knitting letters from the included charts on the blank labels.

Aren’t elephants the best creatures on Earth?

A picture knit, stranded, of a brindle-coated dog with radar ears, almost as charming as the dog himself, using DK yarn in four colors, approximately 35 grams of green, less of the other with a total finished weight of 60.5 grams for the smaller size.

Super fun knit, one of my favorite designs. Beautiful red or yellow birds on branches against a blue sky background.

Super fun to knit! I designed this hat and mitt set to go with Jarrad Flood’s Alvy sweater. The hat used about 65 grams and fits a large head or aa medium head with brim folded. Very easy pattern to manage and easy to memorize. The mittens use less than 50 grams wool and are very easy to knit with a single centered cable and no moss stitch. Eac...

A fun pattern to play around with, using corrugated ribbing, slip stitches, checker- boarding, striping or none of the above. Three-color stranding can be used or avoided as knitter wishes. A nice fingering weight yarn is suggested. Your Bruins fan will love.

Great first cable project.

I love this necklace, both to make and to wear! It is so perfect with v-necks. The single bead version is lovely but the 3 or 4 bead versions are fabulous. It works nicely in the wool/silk lighter fingering yarns as well as the denser merino fingering yarns. Luscious to wear, a marvelous embellishment to a v-neck, casual or dressy. You probably...

The Jazz series employs four colors of beads for a yoke style necklace that is remarkably comfortable to wear. Based on garter stitch and short rows, this is a project that you can complete in an afternoon. Using four colors of beads and a fifth color for the yarn, one can make a necklace to accessorize more than one outfit in the wardrobe, but...

There is something about the way the beads sweep across this necklace that makes it very appealing. It is fun to knit because you have to pay just a little attention. Deciding what beads to use is the most challenging part of the project. Knowing how to do German Short Rows is very helpful but if you prefer W&T, that works too.

Oh My Goodness! What a Beauty!

Total strangers have stopped me on the street to admire this necklace. The design came about because I had only six left of one of my favorite beads (amethyst lined ruby) and just had to do something with them. So, an ombre design evolved.

Kaleidoscope is a yoke style necklace, fun and easy to make, using a garter stitch, slip bead method, and short rows. In a few hours you can make a necklace to go with a favorite outfit or gift for a friend, though you may find it a challenge to give it away.

What a stunner this is! It takes a little focus and a bit more beading than most but is so worth it. I thought of this for the 4th of July but found that it goes great with a lot of summer colors and adds a bit of bling to tees and jeans. Use a silky wool, silk or linen to make a light weight necklace that is comfortable even in July.

Wow! I love this necklace! I made it for a friend as a custom piece, but like it so much I feel the need to share it. This is one of those gestalts in which the whole is greater the the sums of its parts. The beads are pretty, the yarn is lovely but when they all came together, it was just gorgeous! And yes, I did manage to give it away- but it...

I am wild about i-cords! So easy to make in so many variations and so fun to wear. A perfect use of scrap yarn. Make one for every shawl you knit. Make one for everyone in the family. Very versatile, dress it up, dress it down, try it this way, try it that. Four variations are included in this pattern, but there are endless possibilities! I am ...

The narrowest of my yoke style necklaces, this is truly enchanting. Because of its size, it works with most necklines. You will find, as I did, that it is a go-to piece. Variegated yarns and simply strung beads make for a simple project that is a perfect gift for a friend or for yourself if you can’t stand to part with it. I promise you complim...

So many things to celebrate, every season, every occasion, every outfit in your closet … A couple of hours, a little yarn, a handful of beads and you have a necklace that is so comfortable you will forget you have it on until someone remarks on how pretty it is- and they will. A perfect gift.

Rhapsody is yoke collar style necklace done in beaded garter stitch. This stunning necklace belies the ease with which it is made. Choose a comfy yarn from your stash or your scraps, pair it with compatible or contrasting beads to create a piece that makes a statement. This is my husband’s favorite necklace. He describes it as having a rhythm, ...
