Knitting: Tee
A Touch Of Lace Tee is my newest endeavor! It’s a fun knit that’s perfect for Spring, Summer, and Fall, depending on your climate. It can be worn as is or layered with a lacey camisole if you wish. The bottom consists of a cabled lace pattern with the cable continuing up the middle of the front and back that have optional waist shaping. The cab...
Knitting: Cowl
Autumn Bliss Cowl is worked from the top down, and uses short rows for its asymmetrical shape.  You can wear it either way, giving it versatility.  It’s a great way to learn or practice different short row techniques.  It’s also a quick knit!
Knitting: Scarf
I love wearing scarves but sometimes they feel bulky around my neck.
Knitting: Cowl
This cowl was designed for Roving Fibers Adventures First Annual Fall Retreat held at DeGray Lake Resort in Arkansas.
Knitting: Scarf, Cowl
This is a simple 2-color brioche scarf and cowl pattern I designed to help my students learn the 2-color brioche technique. If you have not done brioche before, I suggest you start out learning using my 1-color brioche pattern, Beginning Brioche Möbius Cowl, to learn the brioche knit stitch and purl stitch. It gives you a lot of practice using ...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Flora Fiesta is a fun lace knit. The crescent-shaped shawl has 3 different botanical lace patterns and the bottom border also has the same theme with bobbles on the edge to give a picot-like effect but bolder and sturdier. This shawl is a great stash buster because each of the three colors use at the most around 290 yards (~265 meters) of yarn....
Knitting: Poncho
Riding the Waves is a cozy capelet for the chilly times during your day or evening. Its wide neck opening makes it easy to pull on and off and the waves give it a free-flowing look that works for all that wear it.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Heart of the Hill Country was designed for Roving Fibers Adventures knitting retreat in the Hill Country of Texas. It’s a great way to practice stranded knitting, not too much, not too little, just the right amount.
Knitting: Scarf
This 2 color scarf is designed so knitters can practice both the brLsl and brRsl decreases along with the bgkyobrk increase. These decreases and increase are used quite often when shaping in two-color brioche knitting. The color scheme reminds me of a popular knitwear designer. Can you guess whom?
Knitting: Cowl
Slip into the Holidays is worked in the round, using Jems Luxe mini skein set “Home for the Holidays”. The cowl’s color work is done using slip stitches, so you don’t have to carry strands of color as you knit! This quick knit comes in two sizes and is perfect for gift giving or for yourself to get you into a festive mood!
Knitting: Poncho
Southlander is a collaboration with Jems Luxe Fibers and is based off the show Outlander, but done in fingering weight so we in the south can enjoy it. I love the look of shawls but prefer capelets because they can be worn all sorts of ways, plus they stay around your shoulders much easier than shawls.
Knitting: Cowl
My “Sweetheart Cowl” was designed using
Knitting: Poncho
This project has been a labor of love and I am excited to share it with you! This is my favorite garment and definitely my proudest achievement. I hope you love it too. Many thanks to my tech editor, Meaghan Schmaltz, my graphic designer, Laura Hughey-Hopkins, and to my test knitters, Marieke Doherty and Nina Todaro. This pattern release never ...
