Sublimity is a beautifully ornamented shaped cowl reminiscent of medieval days, utilizing a fetching assortment of simple techniques and stitches: ribbing, cables, twisted stitches, lace, and beads.

There are three sections in this sideways-worked beaded shawlette: the lace edging, the center that widens and then narrows, and a clever tubular edge on top. Beads are placed with the crochet hook method. This design is another in the new series of crescent shaped silhouettes. I find this shape incredibly graceful to wear, something between a s...

Beaded lace and garter stitch combine beautifully in this hooded shawl which is cast on in the traditional manner at bottom edge and is worked up to the top of the hood, where a single seam joins it all together. Shoulder shaping produces an excellent fit, and the garter stitch border provides a lovely resting space for a shawl pin at the neck o...

The leaves have it in this delightful crescent-shaped shawl.

Midsommer takes its inspiration from the beautiful knitting patterns of Estonia, and particularly an ancient ritual enacted at midsummer, when young lovers search the forests for a mythical fern that brings fertility, luck, wealth, and even the ability to understand animals’ speech. This fern flowers only on the summer solstice.. so for yo...

Join me in welcoming the newest member of the Harmonia family… the sleeved sweater! Like the tunic and cowl, but with three sleeve options, this Harmonia sweater is wearable,comfortable and graceful.

Texture, lace, and beads are more than the sum of their parts when merged together in this delightful toe-up sock. Jack- in-the-pulpits march up the center front, beads and all, and the undulating lacy ribs on either side step aside to let them pass. The beaded pattern starts right away at the tip of the round toe, and the fun continues from the...

Harmonia’s Rings has grown… into a tunic sweater! After many requests, the Harmonia’s Rings Cowl has been re-engineered to fit seven sizes. The addition of a fitted body to the drapey yoke makes a world of difference! Because of the drape of the yoke, this design accommodates a wide range of body types.

Graceful and pure, infinitely adaptable, Galatea is a stunning lariat neckpiece that is so comfortable to wear you will forget it’s on! Begin the necklace with a center fringe of beads, then work a variation of 4-stitch I-cord for the spiral beaded pattern that continues around the neck cord.

This versatile beaded trio is marvelously decorative, like the millefiore, or thousand-flowered beads that originated in Italy. Millefiore beads look very mandala-like, and I thought it a very appropriate name for a beautifully beaded garment that is knit entirely in the round. Pattern is written and charted. Beads are added by two methods: pre-...

Belle Nuit, or Beautiful Night, portrays an explosion of falling stars over a night sky. Make your wishes known as you knit this shawl that is worked from the top down featuring one of my favorite constructions: center panel with additional shoulder shaping. The side lace panels are outlined with a subtle cable or twisted stitch pattern, dependi...

These gloves flow!

You all know the Gothic Leaf Stole, but this new version is both smaller and more interesting.. it features two beading techniques, one at the edges and one in the lace pattern. Perfect gift knitting!

Join the ranks of the asymmetrical and confound your knitting friends.. this little scarflet is not as simple it seems. An easy lace pattern provides the basis for bias shaping, and a scalloped border adds charm. You are done in a flash.. knot up a corner and you’re on your way, or use a beautiful button closure for a different style.

These short but very sweet toe-up socks begin with my favorite round toe and feature a beaded openwork rib, a sculpturally fitted back, and just a hint of beaded ruffle at the top. Inspired by a wonderful family reunion that took place in July 2010 near Tallulah Falls in North Georgia, the first sock was improvised and finished on the plane trip...

Like bodies of water emerging from a single spring, the panels of this shawlette flow effortlessly from a few cast on stitches at center back. The simple garter stitch sides and borders combine elegantly with beaded lace, and additional increasing at the center panel provides for a wonderful fit. Beads are placed with the crochet hook add-as-you...

I am a toe-up convert and I want to convert you too!

Leafy goodness! Twisted stitches, lace, cables and beads.. all the stops have been pulled for this sock, which is worked from the toe up. The interesting bits start right away at the tip of the toe.

A tale of loves lost and found again, mistaken identities, royalty hidden away in the forest… and one of the greatest heroines put to paper. This is Shakespeare’s comedy, As You Like It. In this garment, I tried to capture Rosalind’s trials and tribulations as she strives to rescue her kingly father and gain the love of her lif...

This latest variation on my favorite cuff is minus the gloves and the socks.. just as it is in its marvelous beaded glory!

This crescent shaped scarf, fetchingly strung with beaded hearts, is as sweet as pie! The scarf consists of the heart border, an easy garter stitch body, and a tubular edging, and is worked sideways from one narrow point to the other.

These darling toe-up baby socks will delight you! Using clever shaping and a gussetless structure inspired by Cat Bordhi’s New Pathways for Sock Knitters, you will find this the perfect knitting diversion, and the perfect gift for a little angel.

This heavily embellished warmer in three lengths will sit prettily layered atop any boot, knee sock, or on its own. A fun knit with a mixture of beaded twisted stitches, cables, and ribbing, it looks more complicated than it really is. The name comes from the center cable, a simplified version of the Tibetan never-ending knot, symbolizing the in...

These toe-up, heel flap and gusset socks feature three sizes and a high instep option for all sizes. First published as part of the Dye Dreams Four Seasons Sock Club, Spring 2009.

There is nothing simple about this elaborate beaded shawl, a variation on the basic top down triangle. A flame-like, textured center panel makes all the difference. The shawl begins with only a few cast on stitches at the top and increases quickly with additional back neck shaping. After the wavy diagonals on the sides morph into textured diamon...
