Design Inspiration: When working on a new design I tend to let the yarn tell me what it wants to be. On the particular day that Interlude was created the yarn had a little help from the music. I sat, fresh skein of yarn and needles in hand. The yarn was beautiful and felt comforting in my hands. Next to me, my boyfriend sat playing an improvised...

The names of many modern musical modes are the same as those used in ancient Greece, however, the series of notes or intervals are different today.

My lack of decision making skills works in your benefit for this pattern. I charted the bird and immediately knew I wanted to fill in the open space with hearts to name the design Love Birds. However, what type of hearts and how many was just too much for my brain to handle. In the end I did a super slouchy version with one set of hearts and a s...

Learning to let hand dyed yarns work for you can be a challenge, both for a designer and for a knitter eager to make something beautiful. Typically the best thing to do is use simple stitches and let the yarn do the rest of the work....

I love slouch hats. I think they’re flattering on nearly everyone no matter what type of hairstyle or face shape they have. Plus they’re also just plain fun to knit.

The Shady Grove cardigan is an a-line style garment whose shape will fit and flatter any body type. 3 buttons fasten the upper bodice leaving the lower half of the cardigan free to swing open, which means no pulling fabric across the stomach and drawing attention to the area. Because this sweater is of top-down construction there is very minimal...

The Shake the Barley Hat falls somewhere between winter cap and beret. It’s not quite either, but has elements of both to make it appealing. There’s the comfortable turned up brim of a classic cap to add warmth around the ears and the semi-slouch, floppy top reminiscent of a beret, or rasta style hat. Both sizes are written with the same number ...

These simple little anklets were designed as a gift for my Mom. One of her favorite things is handknit socks, so what could be better than a pair designed just for her? I focused on elements that would appeal to her: thick yarn for maximum cushy comfort and subtle feminine details like the scalloped ankle and decorative ties.
