This design was originally produced for the Yarn Tree Sock Club and called Wine Country Socks. I’ve made a little change to the short row heel to make the heel pocket a little deeper and fit better on the foot. Although written for a woman’s medium foot (about size 8), it would be easy to vary the size by working fewer or more inches on the ins...

This cardigan was inspired by one I saw in Paris one fall. Feminine without being frilly, the light fabric is perfect for a warm summer evening. The lace pattern is very simple and easy to memorize, making the knitting that much more enjoyable. The pattern includes a recipe for Asparagus with Green Garlic and Blue Cheese Sauce.

The generous collar and cuffs of this cardigan are worked in Quaker ribbing, so they are sumptuous and springy. The body is slightly shaped.

This cardigan has a simple yet sophisticated silhouette. It is slightly shaped and has a small mandarin collar and the 3/4 length sleeves.

I love the Orenburg lace construction because the main section and border are worked at the same time - no stitches to pick up later or edges to be sewn on. This piece would also be wonderful worked in Habu’s new cashmere - N82.

You can almost make this hood/hat and scarf combination in an evening. One arm of the scarf is longer than the other so you can wrap it around your neck. In a variation, you can add length to the scarf parts, then turn up the ends and stitch the down to make pockets - perfect for keeping your hands toasty or to hid a little treat for your best ...

These half gloves are very quick to knit. The lace detail mirrors the hand on which it appears.

This is a casual cardigan meant for long fall walks. It has a boxy shape, long cuffed sleeves, and a cozy collar. The collar and cuffs have wrapped stitch details.

Worked sleeve to sleeve in one piece, this pullover is made with 3 strands of Habu Textiles Fine Tweedy silk in 4 colors. One strand of yarn changes color every 54 rows, creating a gentle ombré effect. The neckline is asymetric and the sleeves are quite long, extending over a bit over the hands.

This simple pullover has 3/4 length sleeves and a flattering portrait neckline filled with a 2 x 2 rib that forms a low mock T-neck. It is slightly over-sized and is worked with 2 strands of Habu Textile’s tsumugi silk.

This sweater is made with 1 strand of Habu Textiles fiddlehead fern cotton silk and 2 strands of Habu Textiles ramie. I’ve loved the fiddlehead fern yarn since I first saw it 7 years ago. The little brown bits of fern give the lightweight fabric an amazing subtle texture.

The herringbone pattern stitch in this simple shell is interesting without being too involved and is only a 4 row repeat, so it’s easy to memorize. The neck, armholes, and bottom edge are finished with a simple knotted bind-off that looks crocheted, but isn’t.

This boat-neck pullover is worked mostly in 1 piece - sleeve to sleeve. The cuffs, with their little purl ridge lines, are knitted on after the main part of the sweater is finished, so you have only 2 side/sleeve seams to sew. The fabric is lightweight and lovely, and Tsumugi silk comes in a huge range of colors.

The main part of this sweater is made with 1 strand of ramie and 2 strands of fine merino held together. The cowl collar, which puddles around the neck, is made with 2 strands of Habu Textiles linen stainless steel, which gives the fabric just a little body without making it the least bit stiff. I imagined wearing this top under a suit jacket i...

This very lightweight sweater is knitted in one piece, even the collar, so you only need to sew up 2 side seams and 1 seam at the back of the neck to finish it. I added a single button at the base of the V-neck opening, but you could leave it off or use a pin instead. The incredibly soft thick/thin cotton slub yarn worked in stockinette stitch ...

Lily Nep is a fascinating yarn with lots of elasticity and just cries out to be made into socks. The stitch pattern includes twisted stitches and yarn over eyelets, and is charted. The pattern calls for short row heels and toes, but any of your favorite heels/toes could be substituted.

This lacy scarf is work in one piece - edging and center design - in the style of Orenburg, Russia. The pattern contains charts for the edging, the center design, and for the corners. The pattern also has a recipe for Carrot Ginger Soup.

This cardigan is mostly worked from sleeve to sleeve using a double strand of GIMA cotton or a yarn of equivalent weight. The bottom pieces are picked up along the edge of the bodice and worked to the bottom hem, so there are only 2 side/sleeve seams to sew up. The sleeves are 3/4 length on me, but I’ve got long arms. You’ll also need 6 1/2 inc...

The body of this cardigan is worked in one piece with seams only on the sides and sleeves. The collar is worked separately in garter stitch. The finished chest size ranges from 37 to 47 inches, but it would be very easy to size up or down.

This shell is made in 2 pieces and seamed up the sides, although it could easily be made in the round up to the point of the armholes. The yardage listed above is deceptive since the model was made using 3 strands of yarn. If you are substituting you would need only 1/3 as much yardage.

This bag is knitted in one piece - no seams. The pattern includes a stitch chart, instructions for making the handles, and a recipe for Broiled Fish with Miso.

The scarf is made in 2 pieces with a simple 2 row lace stitch pattern. The combination of the very soft silk/mohair and the crisp linen paper makes for a very interesting fabric. It’s so light you almost can’t feel it when it’s on - just a fuzzy sort of warmth.
