Happy New Year, Ravelers!

These are not the craftivist dishcloths you’re looking for. Unless of course you want them to be.

This shawl was meant to be done before Christmas and posted as a sort of free gift/stash-buster pattern. Unfortunately, I ran into such varied complications as a day job and a social life, so instead it’s belatedly ringing in the new year.

This shawl was an accidental tribute to a character in one of my favorite sci-fi book series (which is saying a lot). Originally given the working title “Night-blooming” after the concept of a bottom-up shawl consisting of a flowering border transitioning to the star-like yarnover decreases, it picked up the eponym as I was experimenting with E...

This vest is the serendipitous combination of a great yarn and a great idiom, and no, I’m not referring to actual bunnies. Or…Bunnies, if corset-inspired vests get you thinking in that direction. I’d picked up 2 skeins of green-turquoise Merino Script during an impulse trip to Purl Soho last winter and could not for the life of me come up with ...

A quick knit to geek up your kitchen or someone you love’s. I made these as part of a wedding present for two of my friends in two different years and am just now getting around to transcribing my handwritten notes into charts/patterns. Please let me know if there are errors (the charts are more likely to be correct than the written instruction...

This pattern was conceived as a way to use up less than 1 skein of leftover lace-weight yarn. Any resemblance to a ubiquitous song from a certain recent Disney movie is…not strictly coincidental. That said, it’s meant to be flexible, and the charts I’ve given for the snowflakes on the body are more like guidelines (especially the 2-page Chart D...

Bennet was directly inspired by the adorable Girl’s Pinafore (see pattern and my projects for link). It’s a way to use up any excess yarn from that project, if you have any, and gives the outfit a cool Regency vibe in the process.

Smaller on the Outside boldly goes where so many have gone before (how many sci-fi references can she put in one post???). It’s a basic washcloth pattern, but the central graphic can be adapted to other items as long as you have approximately 30 stitches by 50 rows of blank stockinette. Gauge is so not important that I only filled it in because...

Sand Dollar is really 2 caps playing a variation on a theme, dreamt up by a beach-going fairy godmother in training on a dreary winter day.
