My sister has breast cancer, the other sister is suffering from cervical cancer. I live 2000 miles away and cannot help as much as I would like, so I made them Chemo Caps. With no hair to help keep them in place, they need to be snug. Since they live in Arizona, snug doesn’t always feel so well, especially with the summer heat in full force. So...

The Stars and Stripes. I was always taught respect for the Flag, not just because it is our Nations Flag, but because of all the blood, sweat, tears and sacrifice that the flag symbolizes. And so I give to you this pattern for a large scarf or small wrap to wear with pride.

Nothing is calmer to me than sitting beside the water and hearing the water flowing over the rocks in the bed. It’s mesmerizing to watch and listen to. So I designed this pattern utilizing the baubles I so love to make as the rocks and the cables as the water flowing down the riverbed.

After my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and started treatment, she began to lose her hair very quickly. As she lives in the Arizona Desert, she needed something extremely light, yet soft and cozy. My original hat was made out of yarn I found in my stash that had a combination of silk, bamboo, alpaca, and nylon in a lace weight. So I he...

Who couldn’t use a nice scarf/neckwarmer? This one buttons to stay in place to keep you nice and warm.

I wanted our learn to crochet projects to mirror our Learn to knit projects at the store, so I decided to design an easy pattern. Currently available in two sizes, but you would need to just add rows to the pattern to increase the width around.

I used the Claudia Hand Painted Yarns Banana Leaf Shawl kit and had leftover yarn that is too scumptious to not use, so I designed this scarf to utilize the leftovers. The Daisy stitch pattern showcases the Lust and the verigation in Lust also makes the daisy stitch look like it’s moving. The Serenity makes a nice, soft, cozy background for the...

A quick knit cowl with just a bit of basketweave in the front to give some interest-to both the wearer and the knitter.

A quick and easy cable boot topper pattern. Shifty uses a elongated stitch single cable slipped over rows to produce a nice flat cable for topping your favorite boots.

So my sister said my adult nephew wanted a Steeler’s scarf for Christmas. He recently became a flight Attendant and was stationed in Miami, moving from Arizona. So he has no warm clothing for when he flies to the colder climates. Auntie to the rescue! Only I couldn’t find any patterns of what I was picturing in my head. Since when they fly, the...
