Curvy is a figure hugging top worked in a repeating cable rib. The cables are elongated so as not to add any extra bulk to your frame (good for us fluffy gals). It is knit entirely in the round from the bottom up and would be great for a beginning knitter’s first sweater or cabling attempt. The yarn used in the project is Zen Yarn Garden’s Gemil...

An easy summer pattern that does double duty with a size range that includes infants up to girls’ size 10. This sweet sundress can be worn long or short for little darlings and becomes a Boho chic top for older girls. Icord shoulder straps keep things breezy while cloverleaf eyelet pattern is simple enough for the newest knitter. Worked entirely...

A design based on dichotomy. I needed something that could bridge the gap between short sleeves and a full on sweater to keep my hands and arms warm while working in my drafty office; Fingerless mitts that could also function as sleeves that were simple and yet complex.

For guys, work the hat in a combination of plain textured yarns and skip the ribbons and bows.

An updated take on the traditional Robin Hood tunic for those of us who want something classic that’s a bit of a throwback to another time, Nottingham is simple and luxurious, but with an earthy feel. The slightly flared sleeves, trellis stitch accents, and v-neck lacing capture the medieval flair of my favorite outlaw hero minus the tights and ...

These shape shifting goddesses had in their care the sea’s rich bounty and individually they also represented various facets of the sea, from salty brine, to foam, sand, rocky shores, waves and currents. They were said to wear sh...

Shawls are one of my favorite things to knit for other people.

For as long as I can remember I have loved the epic films that were the hallmark of Hollywood’s golden age. As a child I would spend a long afternoon engrossed in Liz Taylor’s Queen Cleopatra or Charlton Heston’s Judah Ben-Hur. What I loved most were the fabulous costumes that portrayed ancient slices of history. It is in that spirit that this t...
