Welcome to year two! The idea for my first ebook subscription (year one: the pleiades) was born in 2010 while reading posts on Ravelry: people knitting 10 shawls in 2010. This year, they are doing 11 in 2011, so I really must join in the fun!

Welcome to year three of my subscription series! The idea for my first ebook subscription (year one: the pleiades) was born in 2010 while reading posts on Ravelry: people knitting 10 shawls in 2010. I decided to design and knit 10 shawls that year, and at the time I released my first subscription, I had 7 left to do. I made my goal that year, so the next year I was back for more. Today though, I have realized that I simply love doing these subscriptions so much, I won’t even pretend that there’s any other reason to do them! The number 7 is one of my favorites, and I like including the extra accessories. So here comes year three!

Welcome to year four of my subscription series (now complete)! The idea for my first ebook subscription (year one: the pleiades) was born in 2010 while reading posts on Ravelry: people knitting 10 shawls in 2010. I decided to design and knit 10 shawls that year, and at the time I released my first subscription, I had 7 left to do. I reached my goal that year, and the next year I was back for more challenge. After that, I realized that I simply love doing these subscriptions. I won’t even pretend that there’s any other reason to do them! 7 is one of my favorite numbers, and so I am still doing 7 small (and not so small) shawls with 3 (my other favorite number!) accessories thrown in.

The only constant is change. It was one of my grandmother’s favorite sayings! Lately, I’ve found myself inexplicably collecting grey and gold yarn. At this point in my life, I’ve begun to realize that, when I get in a color mood, there’s a reason. Last year I was grey and sad. This year, gold began to creep into everything I reached for. And then it hit me while I was working on my Seismic shawl, and I realized why I’ve been so drawn to that combination.

To practice Radical Acceptance, one strives to fully acknowledge and embrace reality as it is, without judgement or resistance, especially in situations that are difficult or painful to accept. It is to let go of the need to control or change circumstances that cannot be altered, and to concentrate on those within our ability to affect.

The pinyon pine forest wears a cloak of white in the winter, with icy tendrils trailing after the pogonip. The Winter’s Finery shawlette echoes the beauty of a snow flurry amongst the evergreen branches, with an edge decorated for the solstice.

The Along the Sea Strand mittens are based on a traditional Nordic mitten shape, but with other fun little techniques thrown in too.

These use three colors, with the background and cuff c...

For years, I had a virtual egg hunt through my patterns on Ravelry. So since I’m not doing it this year, Egg Hunt just seemed like the perfect name for these simple and scrappy socklets.

Based on a repeating wedge shape, Broken Trails is designed to take advantage of your special skein, no matter the length. For smaller skeins, the shape is a shallow, asymmetrical triangle, but as the number of wedges grows, the shawl tends toward a curving asymmetrical crescent shape. The wedge stays the same throughout the shawl, but because ...

The Sierra Nevada mountain range spans through many terrains, from thick, damp alpine forests to the dry of the high desert. The sierra trail shawl is designed to echo the different personalities of its namesake, with a solid top triangle and stripes knit up in rugged nubby tweed, interspersed with panels of smooth lacy leaves.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
In the high desert, flowers learn to bloom whenever there is a little extra water to be had, as though they’re donning their fine clothes in celebration. The Desert Globemallow hereabouts has bloomed more than usual this past short summer, and is - right at this moment - still in a celebratory mood, even though fall has crept into the air and l...

One of my all-time favorite sayings, and one that I remind myself of often, is “bloom where you are planted.” As I designed and worked on Bloom, my world was snowy and cold. But the finished shawl filled me with joy when I was finally able to photograph it on a beautiful sunny day. It felt like a rebirth of hope, and even though I know there ar...

This was my 2022 mystery shawl KAL! I don’t usually share a theme as we begin, but this year, the tenth year, is special. As I thought back through the years to how much has changed, I knew that this mystery needed to be about the passage of time. So much poetry and so many songs speak to the ravages of time, but I choose to look instead to hea...

An exploration of fiber, color, and fabric texture, Charmeuse is worked in one skein of A Verb for Keeping Warm Frond (mohair/silk) and one skein of Floating (alpaca/cashmere/silk).

A triangle knit in fingering weight and a square knit in lace weight are included in the pattern. The yardage given is for the fingering weight triangle.

Pogonip is the native American word for a rare ice fog that creeps along the valley floors in some parts of the western United States. In its wake, it leaves a fairyland of crystal-coated landscape, sparkling in the sunlight. My beautiful eastern Sierra home is one of those special places, and some winters - when all the conditions are just rig...

Designed for the Yarnover Truck’s anniversary, Knitting by the Pool used a special limited edition color by SpaceCadet Yarns based on the Yarnover Truck logo, and that yarn was the inspiration for this half circle shawl. Named Burbank, and the color of pool water, it was destined to become ripples! The top section of the shawl is plain stockine...

Summer’s design is worked in a rare wild silk. Muga Silk comes only from a silkworm in the Assam region of India, and has a natural creme caramel color. With a crisp body and twist, this yarn will continue to increase in luster after each washing, and I think you’ll love the it!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Yvonne Eyer (RedHatKnitter on Ravelry) was a test knitter for me, a member of my Pins & Lace club, a member of my Ravelry group, and an avid lace knitter. I had the privilege of meeting her once at Yarnover in Minneapolis, and her enthusiasm was contagious. Last year she passed away, and the knitting world lost someone special.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This lovely generously sized shawl can be knit either as a triangle or as a rectangle. The charts and written instructions are designed to present one panel of lace, with the option to knit a triangle by repeating each panel twice, or a square by repeating each panel 4 times. Because the start is a little tricky, the first two charts (A and B) ...

When she won the prize in my give-away, I remember seeing terryknits2 sitting in a chair looking relaxed and oh-so-chic in her Ravatar. And as I designed her shawl, it was this image that came back to me over and over again.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Miswis is a mystery. What does she look like? What does she like to knit? What is her name? I don’t know the answers to any of these questions, though since she is in my Ravelry forum, I am guessing she likes to knit shawls. I thought of asking her about herself, but I think she is most likely a private person, and winning a prize shouldn’t mea...
Knitting: Cardigan
An incredibly versatile garment, this sweater - a bonus pattern in the Year 4 ebook - can be worn either with the garter lace side up, or the garter openwork side up to completely change the look and feel of your outfit. Worn with the lace side up, the sweater looks dressy; with the openwork variegated side up, the look is more casual. The open...
Knitting: Scarf
A beautiful silky scarf, with just a touch of weight, is perfect for your next Italian vacation. Constructed like a stole, this scarf begins with a provisional cast-on. The middle is worked, and then the first lace end. The lace is bound off using a “crochet” chain worked on knitting needles. The provisional cast-on is then picked up and the se...

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The quality of light in the high desert is golden and striking. Cloud shadows skitter along the ground, and when the seasons begin to change, the sun’s increasingly acute angle to the Earth fills the afternoon with long and dramatic shadows. Mountain passes trap pockets of sunlight, burning red across the landscape.
Knitting: Scarf, Shawl / Wrap, Doll Clothes - Other
This beaded V shaped shawl was designed for a class, and includes a full sized shawl, doll-sized shawl - one of my test knitters made this into a scarf for herself! - and doily.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Bucklebury Beanie is bottom up hat with lots of great texture and a covered button to top everything off. It’s simple to knit with one skein, or add extra yarn for more slouch! Perfect to wear every day. I’m knitting one for everyone in my family! (note: the shawl pictured on model at is Desert Peach, which is not part of this collection.)
Knitting: Cuffs
Inspired by the beaded wristers found in many European cultural traditions, Devana Pulse Warmers are a fun and quick knit that produce a lovely gift for a loved one or for yourself. Make sure to use Japanese seed beads; they are very uniform in size and therefore will yield a better result. All beads are prestrung.
Knitting: Hair accessories
Get your knit on any time with these cute scrunchy hair elastics. A great way to try out cable patterns, different cabling techniques, and new yarns and then have a great hair accessory at the end.

Knitting: Cowl

It’s the poster child for being greater than the sum of its parts. And best of all? Cables, nupps and lace! Fun! How can you miss?
Knitting: Pin Cushion
When I was very young, my mother taught me to sew. She was an amazing tailor, and she gave me my own box of thread, my own pins and thimble, and - best of all - my very own little tomato pincushion filled with sawdust that crunched satisfyingly when I squished it. I kept that cherished possession for years and years and years, until finally - w...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
A perfect quick bit of lacy fun, this beanie knits up slouchy in Colrain, with its tencel and wool blend adding to the drape. Begin at the center of the crown and knit down. If you don’t have quite enough yarn, bind off early. If you want a longer and slouchier hat and have extra yarn, you can keep knitting the last two rounds until it’s just t...
Knitting: Cloche Hat
Elven Cloche is a top down hat with a chic asymmetrical profile. There are a few eyelets and lots of warm squishy garter stitch around a perfect leaf.

It can be finished off by grafting or a three needle bind-off and knits up in record time. Perfect for watching the ski races! (note: the model is wearing Mel’s Cow...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Gnarled Entling Mitts come in two flavors. The first version is knit up with various yarns from my oddments box and they play so nicely together! The braids tie everything together and they are bound off with an i-cord in bulky yarn. The second version is a super simple one - not from oddments box yarn - and I threw it in just for fun, as it’s ...

This pattern was also used with permission in a Lady Dye box. If you purchased the box, a Ravelry download code should have been included. If you did not get a code, please let me know and I will gift you the pattern.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Fangorn Toque has just a little bit of everything: stranded colorwork, lace, texture, even knitting with roving (that’s the white stripe; I used roving instead of yarn because there’s no white in my oddments box; I love it more than if it were yarn!). Fangorn is the perfect topper to move into cooler fall weather and in some climates, it’s perf...
Knitting: Coaster
These fun little coasters are a super quick knit for a wee Christmas or Hanukkah gift. In red and green the motif is an abstract Christmas tree, and in shades of blue and white it represents a menorah. The coasters are knit with the mosaic knitting technique which uses only one color of yarn per row, with slipped stitches creating a pattern. Th...
Knitting: Mittens
Inspired by Selbu mittens, these are a fun way to use two balls (or add odds and ends of other colors too!) of yarn from your oddments box. In true oddments fashion, the mittens begin with a provisional cast-on at the wrist so that the hand can be finished before moving on to the cuff. If you find there isn’t enough yardage, you can add a third...
Knitting: Boot Cuffs / Toppers
Everyone needs a great pair of boots, or maybe two or three. Or possibly more? These great toppers work with all sorts of different styles of boots, since they can be worn two ways: the cuff attached with wrong side facing out folds right side out over a boot top, or turn them upside down with a lace top and cabled mid-section like a heavy sock...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Fairy SnowCap is a top down hat with a giant pompom to finish it off. There’s a little bit of lace and lots of warm snuggly ribbing. Perfect for your next snowy adventure! (note: the shawl pictured on the model at top is Zephyr Cove, which is not part of this collection.)
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Important note: the yarns used for this shawl have a nice drape to them and keep a block extremely well. If you decide to substitute a more springy yarn such as a 2-ply merino, you may need to go up in needle size to compensate for bounce-back after blocking, and produce a similarly sized shawl to the samples.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This lovely pattern begins with a cast-on along the entire edge of the center top triangle, and uses short rows to shape down to a point. The initial triangle is worked in lace with patterning on both sides. The stitches left from the short rows are then worked down and out from the initial triangle in a leaf motif, and they are bound off using...

Rivers run through the desert here: the Truckee, the Carson, the Walker. And the first time you come upon one, it’s like finding a treasure: a private oasis of greenery and sparkling water hidden away just for your eyes, the water bubbling and rippling over rocks and washing down into deep pools.
Knitting: Scarf, Shawl / Wrap
Spring dawns suddenly one day, and the buzzing of bees is loud enough to carry all the way in through the kitchen window. Outside, bunches of pink flowers cover the many thorn bushes. Where there was barren colorless branch throughout the winter, there are now clouds of pink. Desert peaches. Not thorn bushes, they’re desert peaches!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
“Hill, Romi Hill” I say in answer to the question. I stare up through my eyelashes as I sip my martini, shaken not stirred of course. Wrapped lovingly around my shoulders: cashmere, with the slightest hint of glimmer from the beads around the edge. I am dressed to kill. Literally.

I decided to design and knit 10 shawls that year, and at the time I released my first subscription, I had 7 left to do. I made my goal that year, s...

There are alternate charts available for download from this Ravelry page - they are meant to be used WITH the Knitty pattern and not as stand-alone charts. These are in the format I generally use: symbols are charted as you knit them rather than as you see the pattern from the front. I think they are much easier to follow for lace patterns work...

Once the muse of singing, Melpomene’s name derives from the Greek melpô or melpomai meaning “to celebrate with dance and song.” Over time, she became the muse of tragedy - particularly tragic theater - and today is often portrayed with a tragic mask in her hand: the opposite of her sister, Thalia, the muse of comedy. Among the ancient Greeks an...

I love clothing with a dramatic flair: flowing cloaks, scarves and shawls are my favorite. Perhaps I was influenced by a steady diet of classic movies as a child. My mother was a huge fan, and I would sit with her for hours, watching Audrey and Katherine Hepburn (our favorites), Claudette Colbert and Ingrid Bergman. And then I would go to bed, ...

In high school and then again in grad school, my favorite place was a tiny little narrow bistro called Cafe Trieste, with a deck in the back overlooking the creek. The people watching was fabulous, and a warm but simple wrap to throw dramatically over one’s shoulder would have been just the thing.

About four years ago, during a difficult time in my life, I was doing what I often do to soothe my nerves: riding my bicycle beside the vineyards near my home. It was a crisp, sunny January day in wine country and I was enjoying the robins when I saw a streak of blue. And then another. Bluebirds! Not the usual Scrub Jays, but real honest-to-goo...
