This three pattern collection features a cowl, toque and pair of fingerless mittens. These patterns use the same yarn; however, you will hold two strands of DK weight (double) for the cowl, while for the hat and mitts, you will hold one strand of DK (single). They all feature a twisted traveling stitch pattern which was adapted from the Always ...

Legacy Pullover was a special project for me, as the yarn used was grown by a flock of sheep which once grazed a green space in a city where my family used to live. Our young children and I used to visit these Finn sheep often in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada, and we were allowed to pet and feed them. The yarn I used for my sample was from...

The Miles collection of accessories is named after a character of The Holiday, one of my favourite Christmas movies. Miles, played by Jack Black, is humble and funny and doesn’t think too much of himself, but people are drawn to his open and honest nature. I tried to reflect those aspects of his personality in these simple but interesting acces...

The lace panel grows th...

This circular yoke pullover is a spin-off of the Sunshower Pullover for kids; however, the gauge and charts have been altered in this adult version. It uses one main colour of worsted weight yarn, along with six mini skeins in a rainbow gradient, worked top-down and seamlessly in the round.

Stranded colour work can be a great way to use up stash scraps or the remainders of a knit sweater. I used the leftover yarn from my Moody Hue pullover design (coming Nov 1) to come up with this rainbow hat in murky stripes.

This summer tank features a scoop neck front, v-neck back with decorative lace, straight body shaping, and i- cord edges and finishes.

The Sora Top is a seamless, boxy top with lots of i-cord edges and some waist shaping. Decorative lace on the back and top of the front adds some interest. The light fingering wool/cotton yarn recommended is knit at a very loose gauge which creates a fabric with drape, that fills out when washed and blocked.

This Christmas-themed colour work mitten is made with non-superwash wool, creating a very warm, cozy accessory coming in two sizes. Because the color work chart is the same for both sizes, I have suggested two different yarns to alter the gauge in order to size up or down the mitten.

Easy and quick stash buster! Good for that leftover fingering wool from Heather’s Cowl. The colour possibilities are endless!

This pattern is worked in the round with a circular needle, and is a quicker knit than might appear at first glance. It requires one 50 gram ball each of five colours in fingering weight.

This pattern can be made with one 50 gram ball of fingerling weight wool. It’s much cuter if the hat is a little big (its a little small as shown on my son, but I’ve adjusted the pattern so that it should fit a 12 month old). Unlike the other pixie hats I’ve seen in 2x2 ribbing, this one is worked in the round, so it will create its own circula...
