Collection of the 5 patterns available in The Great Cowl KAL. This collection includes:

The 58-page Collection contains 4 patterns and one chapter on general customizations. The four patterns include: Traveling Woman (11 sizes, 5 yarn weights), Traveling Scarf (2 sizes, 2 yarn weights), Traveling Socks (2 yarn weights, 3 sizes each), and Traveling Cowl (2 yarn weights, 2 sizes each. Each pattern includes the information listed above.

Crashing waves, sandy beaches, and Irish folkore regarding both of those elements inspired this complex cabled cowl. From kelpies to the merrow, Irish oceanic folklore is utterly terrifying, not unlike these cables at first glance. It seems only fitting that the yarn for this ocean folklore inspired cowl be from an Irish lass.

This quick and easy basketweave cowl can be knit in nearly any yarn weight, and is suitable for beginning knitters. This cowl reminds me of my days spent weav- ing and continuously reminds me of my forgotten hobby. Worked in the round, the reversible stitch is easy to mem- orize or adapt to other yarn weights. Instructions are also given for an ...

Queen Anne is one of those women that I always knew about, but didn’t know about. Turns out she was a pretty bad ass lady. During her imprisonment, she never stopped plotting: whether it was escape, a coup, or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, she was al- ways at it. The stitch motif used in this shawl is reminis- cent of the bars ...

When my dad was younger, he and his two brothers dressed up as the boys from the Lollipop Guild for one Halloween. When I told him I was knitting a pattern based on the Lollipop boys, he was ecstatic: he insisted I knit a pair for him. This wildly fun yarn stands out in this simple zig zag rib pattern. The pattern is written for one women’s size.

Kits available until July 11, 2012!

Voussoir Shawl is modeled after the wedge-shaped bricks that fill in the gaps in archways left behind by regular, lesser bricks. The smocked cable motif stacks rows of stitches in a similar fashion, creating miniature archways of cabled stitches. Paired with ribbing, this scarf has no proper top or bottom.

Honeycomb cables and textures come together with bright, vibrant yarn to make a cowl that is just as emblematic of spring as the flowers and buzzing bees enjoying them.

Comprised of 3 patterns, the Arch Shawl features stitch motifs inspired by elements of Venetian architecture. I don’t claim to be an expert on architecture, but the vast buildings throughout Italy inspired me to create shawls based on the styles used in their unique structures.

I don’t claim to be an expert on architecture, but the vast buildings throughout Italy inspired me to create shawls based on the styles used in their unique structures. Lancet Shawl is modeled after the Gothic lancet arches favored by Venetians, with the elaborate points of mimicking the dramatic arches in buildings across the canals. One of thr...

Hoorah! The last pattern in the Great Cowl KAL.

Super quick, fun, easy, and warm, the Perpetually Persistent Cowl blocks out cruel winter winds.

Knitting in the round makes me really happy, and I love cowls. The short rows add a little spice–and shape–to an otherwise simple pattern. Because it is worked in stockinette and garter stitch, this pattern is great at showing off hand painted or variegated yarns. The easy in-the-round construction makes it easy to adapt in different yarn weight...

When I was younger, Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorite stories. I obsessively read the novel and begged my mother to decorate my room in an Alice motif (she did, which resulted in endless nightmares about falling down rabbit holes and becoming sick from magical cookies). The resurgence in Alice in Wonderland remakes has made me a very ha...

When Didi tasked me with designing a scarf for her Shog- goth shipment of The Yarn Club of Unspeakable Horror, she said to me “do whatever you want, just make sure it has a million eyes.” While slightly less creepy than one million real eyes staring back at you, One Million Eye(let)s scarf does not have exactly one million eye(let)s, but it’s pr...

My Renaissance is one of those designs that I thought I’d never finish. It sat around in my brain and my sketchbook, teasing me, for months. I’ve been experimenting with shawl spines and asymmetry in an attempt to design something new, something quirky, something a little bit different. When I started swatching for My Renaissance, I knew it was ...

I had a dream I was wearing these spiral socks, and that they were lovely to knit and even more wonderful to wear. (I’m not a crazy person, I don’t normally dream about socks.) Named after my friend Eunice, these socks are sunny, fun, and a little bit odd.

Originally only available with a Femme Fatale Fibers purchase, the scarf pattern is now available to purchase online!

The shawl is shaped similarly to Traveling Woman, but the increases are raglan style rather than yarn overs. Eyelets break up the stocking stitch before beginning a geometric lace design. The geometric lace pattern was inspired by the architecture of the sprawling manner in Citizen Kane.

Even though I would consider myself a fairly advanced knitter, I love nothing more than a simple garter or stocking stitch project with endlessly stunning results. That’s where Objects in Space comes in. Use one or two skeins of a luxury blend in almost any weight and you can produce a delicious scarf (or shawl) that drapes across your shoulders...

Double Leaf Version now available

The pattern has 2 PDFs: one with the pattern and one with the legend/abbreviations.

The color of this yarn is named after a particular type of lava flow found in Hawaii. Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning, volcanoes, and dance. It seems only fitting that name of this sock pattern would have similar origins.

Updated July 2011! New charts, easier to read font, smaller file size, and printer-friendly format.

Maeby now includes 2 sizes.

Updated January 22, 2009: modifications to knit the Medium size have been released and are available via the errata link.
