The garter diamond lace in this top reminds me of the beautiful, elaborate patterns that appear on the skin of venomous snakes.

I’ve named it for Maria Agnesi, an Italian mathematician best known for her contributions to differential and integral calculus. Agnesi was a professor at the University of Bologna.

He is remembered chiefly for the make of car named after him, but also for his application of double helical gears, which inspired the logo for his brand, as well as the stitch pattern in this scarf. Also known as ‘herringbone gears’, the inlaid chevron pattern on...

This update revises ‘An Easier Heel’ to become perhaps the simplest, most attractive, all-gauges, all-weights sock pattern.

Also because I’m confident that once you make a pair of socks using this pat...
