Hastings is a colourwork vest that makes for a nice warm layer in the cooler months, without being too warm indoors. Being a cropped vest, it requires relatively little yarn and doesn’t take as long to knit as a sweater. Colour changes only occur every few rows, there are no more than 2 colours per row, and there is no waist shaping. This is a ...

Riverspan is a slouchy, colourwork hat. Knit from hand-dyed BFL, it is exceptionally soft and warm, and has just enough drape to keep it slouchy. The architecture of trusses and peaks in the motif are inspired by the iconic bridges that span the Grand river, here in my home town of Cambridge, Ontario.

‘Shooting Star’ (Dodecatheon Maedia) blooms in spring and then disappears into the ground – leaves and all! – to wait for next spring. My dad and I both love this flower, and grow it in our gardens, but you can also find it in the woodlands of North America. I dyed this colour to try and capture the ultraviolet radiance of the petals. The subtl...

From the first day after winter that it is warm enough to hold needles, I knit outside in my humble garden and continue to knit there for all ...

This tailored sweater was inspired by the smart, light, lapel coats that we love to wear in spring and fall. It can be worn many ways - buttoned, partly buttoned, or unbuttoned with lapels folded back or draped closed. Shaping is minimal and only suggests the waist and bust, rather than hugging it, so as to compliment many figure types. In keep...

This is a versatile summer top that can be very cool and comfortable in hot weather, when worked in a linen, cotton, or silk. The sweater is fitted without being clingy - which is also a comfort on sticky days. With the scooped neck, empire waistline, and corset-like laced-up bodice, there are several feminine details which make this sweater fl...

This is a full mitten that easily converts back and forth from a fingerless mitten. As a small-handed person who finds most store-bought single-sized mittens too floppy to be comfortable, I have written this pattern in 2 sizes. Furthermore, I have provided several ways to customize the dimensions of the mitten.

Notions: Qty 15, 1” buttons were used in the sample.
