Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This wonderfully textured, somewhat slouchy beanie will soon become one of your favorites to knit and wear. It looks complex, but it’s an easy stitch to follow with fantastic looking results. The crown is what really sets this beanie apart from others, it’s “snow story” is a beautiful one.

Knitting: Cowl
With a nod to my Scandinavian ancestors the Krista Cowl was born. I love the traditional motifs and I wanted to play around with yarn colors I never use together. It was an absolute delight to see this cowl evolve as I worked and frogged until it was “just right”. I hope you enjoy making this as well. Adult sized but easily customizable to make...

Knitting: Beanie, Toque

Dive in and knit this uni...

I struggled with the idea of mittens for the longest time. When I figured out a way to simplify things without a thumb gusset the lightbulb went off and I’ve been making these ever since. These are so simple, just follow the directions and photo’s and once you get the hang of working from the inside of your mitt you will be off and running. Per...

Knitting: Cowl
I designed this cowl after my favorite time of year. I grew up in the mid-west and also lived in Alaska. I am definitely a cold weather girl, taking much joy in wearing and making hand knits. Joy to the wool! It keeps you warm and cool. I love the stark differences in late October and November. Think; gray skies, birch trees, Canadian geese fly...
