VBM Shawl Collection 1 features four original shawl designs, including the Coriolis Shawl, the Bernoulli Shawl, the Logwood Shawl, and the Irish Moss Shawl. All patterns include both charted and written instructions.

My second shawl collection will feature new four-shawl collection released one at a time between November 2012 and January 2013. You may buy the collection at any time. If you purchase it before all of the patterns are published, you will automatically get updates with the new patterns as they are released. These shawls are inspired by U.S. National Parks that I visited growing up. 1 dollar from each sale will be donated to nationalparks.org.

A new four-shawl collection named after different precious stones, released as individual patterns between January and March 2013. You may also purchase a single pattern, but please keep in mind that if you buy the patterns individually they will be $4.50 each, you will not get discounts or credits given towards the eBook purchase price after purchasing individual patterns.

My fourth shawl collection, inspired by four elements.

My first collection of sock patterns. Features patterns, released between March and May 2013. The collection includes the previously sock-club exclusive Rumpelstiltskin Socks and Irish Moss Socks as well as two brand new sock patterns.

The second shawl in my fourth collection: Dendrology, the study of trees/woody plants. Top-down shawl featuring a garter body with a lacy, leaf edging that features built-in increases. The pattern includes instructions for lower-yardage sock yarn skeins (400 yds) and higher-yardage sock yarn skeins (440) yds, as well as instructions for how to i...

First pattern in my fourth shawl collection - Elements.

These socks combine garter and lace bands off-set with a cable that runs down the outside of the sock. Top-down socks that match my Green Beryl Shawl. An easy-to-remember pattern, and the third in my VBM Sock Collection 1. These are available for individual purchase or as part of the collection. As with all of the other patterns in the collectio...

The last shawl in my “precious stone” shawl collection. Named after lovely blue-green stones, this shawl is asymmetrical with garter and lace bands worked in the center and one side wedge, with the other side worked in a cable pattern on a garter background. Easily adjustable for different yardages, instructions for up- or down-sizin...

Top-down sock featuring cable and lace pattern that transitions to stockinette on foot. Two sizes available, 64- and 72-stitch versions.

I’d been wanting to adapt the stitch pattern from my Mr. Harley Quin socks into a shawl for some time, and imagine my excitement when I found out there was actually a harlequin opal! So perfect! The colorful stone fit perfectly with what I had in mind for this shawl, a pattern that works well with those variegated yarns that have been sitt...

This one was designed for a friend whose birthday stone is the topaz and whose favorite color is this lovely deep fuschia. I just couldn’t resist. Knit all in one piece, the body of the shawl is worked “top-down”, then the cable/lace border is knit sideways along the body, connecting to the body as you go. NO SEAMING! Yeah! I h...

Cinnamon stone is a type of garnet, the birthstone of January (which happens to me my birthday month! It seemed so fitting to have a lovely lace shawl made out of some wonderful yarn as a gift to myself this month.

I think I was very small when we went to Grand Teton National Park. What I remember most was the t-shirt my mom had from the park. The shirt was a staple of her camping attire every year. Grand Teton Shawl is the third shawl in my second four-shawl shawl collection (VBM Shawl Collection 2). This shawl is available for individual purchase as well...

I’ve only been to Olympic National Park once, but there are two things I remember vividly. One was how beautiful the forest was when we walked through, it was so beautifully green that the leaves and everything seemed to almost glow. The second thing I remember was a lake my family and I had decided to try fishing in. The water was such a ...

Bryce Canyon is probably my favorite of the national parks. Growing up my family would go on annual camping trips all over the place and Bryce was always one of my favorite stops. A shawl inspired by this beautiful place had to be first on my list. :)

I remember the first time I saw Canyonlands. My family was standing at one of the lookouts and my younger brother (who was pretty little at the time) said, “Look, Dad, there’s a crack in the country!” True enough. :)

The last shawl in my VBM Shawl Collection 1. As with the others, includes written and charted instructions.

Originally designed for the October Barking Dog Yarns Sock Club. Released to the public in May 2013 as part of my first sock collection (will also be available for individual purchase).

Designed to be a holiday gift for my mom. Paragon is a name for a large, flawless diamond, and something about the shape of those diamonds reminds me of this pattern. :)
