Every year, round about the middle of January, we all remember that winter is cold. Very cold. And that there can never be too many warm hats in the hat bin. Every year, round about the middle of January, I knit hat after hat after hat, trying to fill up that bin. This year, each of my little monkeys picked a yarn, described to me their perfect hat, and off I went.

Sometimes, life brings remarkable people into your path. Some stay in your life forever, and some may only be part of your world temporarily, leaving you forever changed by having known them. When the time comes to say goodbye, how can you possibly express what they have meant to you? For a knitter, the answer is easy – by giving them your time, your work, a piece of yourself to carry with them. A hat to stay warm, a scarf to keep the wind out, or a blanket to snuggle under, each stitch infused with gratitude and love. Miss C is a collection of patterns conceived, designed, and knit to honour just such a person in my life.

Today, when I wake up in the morning, there is a rim of condensation on the window, and the air coming through it has a bite. I shiver a little, but I can feel a smile pulling at my lips. Finally, fall is coming. The knits that have sat in baskets through the long, muggy summer will be brought out today, and knitting can once again feel like a necessity, a laying in of warmth against the coming cold. For now, though, I pull on a cowl and head out for a walk in the luminously colourful forest.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Havenbrook shawl is worked sideways in two colours with alternating sections of garter and exploded seed stitch. Choose from two sizes – the still-generous small, or the luxurious large. The stitch pattern pops with two high-contrast yarns, or choose two similar colours for a more subtle look.

One blonde, one brunette. One with blue eyes, one with brown. One quiet and shy, one loud and exuberant. And yet, they are still the same, cut from the same cloth, knit from the same pattern, similar despite their differences. Sisters, together forever, eager to show their individuality, yet reveling in all that they have in common, a study in ...

Crickets chirp in the long grass as the sun slips down towards the horizon. A cool breeze wafts over the meadow, scattering delicate dandelion fluff in a whirling dance. She chases the fluff, determined to catch a wish. “Can I pick just a few more flowers?” she begs. How to resist the pure joy that she finds in the day? She sits, pulling her sw...

No matter how long I have been a mother, there are moments where my breath catches at the sight of my children. Moments where I cannot quite believe they are mine, entrusted to my care. Their sheer innocence stirs in me a gentle ache that seems to freeze time. A cold dread runs through me at the thought of sending them out into the world. But I...

The magic of the holidays is a distant memory, the days are short, and snow coats the ground. Winter proper has set in. Even on the days when the sun comes out in all its brilliance, the wind is bitter and the air frigid. Months of cold stretch before us, and we seek warmth and comfort. It is a time for quick, simple knits in warm, bulky yarns,...

The morning of the first snowfall of the year is magical. We all, adults and children alike, feel a thrill when a glance out the window reveals a world covered in a quiet blanket of white as soft, fluffy flakes float down. As we head out the door, we need warm woolens, yes, but the day calls for something special - a cheery, bright cowl to capt...

Knitting: Dress
Little girls will wear dresses all year round. Even if they have to put several layers on top, they will still cling to the idea that a summery dress is always appropriate. But in those first days of summer, true summer, when they can skip outside in nothing but an airy dress, there is something special about their little faces. At no other tim...

I cannot resist a skein of variegated yarn. For me, as for many knitters, I suspect, the vibrant collection of colours is just too tempting. Sometimes, though, these skeins marinate in my stash for far too long, waiting for the right pattern to do them justice. So, I set out to design a cowl and hat for three of my favourite of these skeins, in...

As the days grow shorter, the light grows paler and weaker, and the bitter winds begin to blow, for many, a long dark teatime of the soul begins. But not for knitters. For knitters, winter is our golden time. Our fingers fly through the dark evenings and cozy, warm accessories fall from our needles. In this season more than any other, our loved...

Your footsteps make almost no sound. The snow-filled ravine is still, but under the white blanket, a quiet trickle is moving. A whisper of hope, of spring approaching. But for now, a cold wind blows across the coulee, and you pull your hat a little further over your ears. On you trudge, the trickle fading in the distance.
