This sock is my contribution to the Scary Sock KAL 2016.

Inspired by the beautiful leaves of Autumn that crunch underfoot, this shawl is knitted in two halves from the centre out using a provisional cast on. The traditional Estonian stitch patterns flow easily from the body into the border. The colourway can be knitted either symmetrically or asymmetrically depending on preference.

Two scarves , one plain, one fancy lace. Both knitted from the ends and grafted in the middle with knitted on i-cord edges and beaded using the crochet hook method. Which one will you choose?

Our next KAL was inspired by the classic children’s tale of Heidi.

This sock is a bit different and is inspired by the steampunk/Puginesque look of the game. This is a sock I could easily see Evie wearing. The Cuff and the leg of the sock are worked flat before joining in the round to work the short row heel and then the foot. A faux button band is then worked up the side of the leg and the sock is seamed. Fin...

When I finished my Enchanted Wood shawl I was surprised at how much yarn I had left – this just wouldn’t do! So I designed this little pair of fingerless gloves to match the shawl so as to use up as much of the yarn as possible.

This Sock was designed for the Scary Sock KAL 2012

100% British Wool inspired this iconically British waistcoat - cables and textured sections give a modern twist and a casual vibe. I wanted this design to evoke the idea of country life, cordoroys and green wellies, but still be smooth enough to wear for a pint down the pub - without the wellies.

This was the very first Classic Children’s book KAL design

I am given to understand that the Knotions site is no more. I have reformatted the pattern and it is now available here on Ravelry.

Inspired by the blocks in the classic Tetris game, this pattern uses a simple slipstitch pattern to create the blocks without needing to use more than one colour in any one round.

Based on the old Centipede Atari game, lots of bobbles make up the centipede and the tops of the mushrooms. Each mushroom is made from a separate little length of yarn. A little fiddly, but easier than intarsia in the round ;-) The rest of the mushroom is duplicate stitched on afterwards.

The Moogle, for those who do not know it is a small creature that dwells in the realms of the Final Fantasy Games (amongst others). Their name comes for an amalgamation of the Japanese words mogura (mole) and kōmori (bat). Moogles have small eyes and red, pink, or pur-ple bat-like wings. A single black antenna sticks up from their heads, with a...

I don’t know about you, but my hands get cold when I am using the computer and I needed a quick pair of fingerless gloves to regain the feeling in my fingers.

I don’t particularly like spiders and I know a lot of people are terrified of them so here is a scary pair of socks just for you!

This stole was my entry in the Little Knits Schaefer Trenna lace designing competition - I was fortunate enough to gain 5th place overall.

I had this vision of a stole that when it was draped across the shoulders would look like a cloak of feathers.

We got a lot of requests from people who loved the stitch pattern but just weren’t triangular shawl type of people. They preferred rectangular stoles.

A reversible sock, why?

ERRATA:

The pattern for this pair of gloves is written for both fingerless and half fingered gloves.

I have called them Yeti feet because they were knitted for a teenager with big feet!

A while back I knitted up this little shrug and someone emailed me and asked if I could let them have the pattern.

Named for the capitol of my island home, this hooded zip jacket is knitted in one piece with cabled raglans and a kangaroo pocket, will help you to keep warm in those chilly coastal breezes. The cables remind me of the ropes that festoon the quayside of the fisherman’s wharf of the main harbour, where my father used to moor his fishing boat.

A pretty, feminine, sock with lace and cables available from Wooly Wonka Fibers as a kit with a printed chart and the yarn.

A simple modified T shaped baby jumper. The body is patterned with a pretty leaf gansey pattern and fastened on one shoulder. The matching hat completes the outfit.

Yarn requirements: 150g of Green Sheep Cotton Bamboo Fingering in colorway “Artemis”

This little evening bag was inspired by the classic Chanel bag that has seen so many incarnations in anything from pastel leather to ostrich skin, so why not a knitted version?

A pretty little pinafore dress with an A-line skirt made in a simple razor lace. Finished with a little eyelet edging around the neck threaded with ribbon, this outfit is a pretty as a picture – just like the little girl I named it after.

A close fitting T-shirt with waist shaping and a neat V neck, this design was inspired by an old delft pottery plate. If you are not into intarsia, cheat! The design can just as easily be Swiss darned (duplicate stitched).

The yarn used for this pattern was a hank of handspun By Hello Mango called Snowbaby--70 yds (63m) of Falkland, Merino, Massam, Angelina, sparkle and silver tinsel cord.

A pretty little wrap, perfect to wear over those spring and summer dresses and keep away the chill. This one is knitted in a luscious alpaca silk combination but you could just as easily knit it in soft wool or even a crisp cotton to team it with your favourite jeans. Patterned with three different leafy designs interspersed with bands of stock...

Errata

The idea for this bag came to me when I was faced with a pair of beloved jeans that could not be mended and I could not bear to throw away.

I have quite small feet ( UK size 5) so I have written the pattern in two sizes diddy feet (mine) and more normal sized feet. I wrote the pattern so that you can fiddle with lengths of foot and cuff so feel free to play around with it as you will. Just remember if you make them too long/tall you will probably need another skein of wool.
