Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Loops and cables and bobbles like twists through time.
Knitting: Pullover
With the warmth of highland wool, but with a geometric pattern reminiscent of the skyscrapers back in 1940’s New York. Worked seamless from the top-down.
Knitting: Cardigan
Inspired by the structured and fitted cardigans of the 1940’s. Complete with elbow-length bell sleeves, a peplum with garter stitch detail, garter stitch saddle shoulders, and a scooped neckline. The peplum increases at three points, and incorporated into garter stitch triangles located at the sides of the hips and the center back.
Knitting: Cardigan
A winding cable cuts down the center back of this swingy oversized raglan cardigan. It is lightweight but warm, worked in reverse stockinette with stockinette borders.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Interlocking cables like woven fabric. Worked from the bottom-up.
Knitting: Scarf
Simple and a bit off-kilter.
Knitting: Cowl
Would it look good on Jamie? Or Frank? A masculine cowl worked in the round over a knotted stitch.
Knitting: Cowl
A wide cowl to cover décolletage.
Knitting: Pullover
The looping, twisted cable is worked first.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
For the healing properties of flowers. Worked from the bottom-up with a two-color rib brim, colorwork, and a slight slouch.
Knitting: Cardigan
A Maile Sweater for grown-ups. It’s cute and comfortable and warm without being overly bulky. Looking at everyone’s baby Mailes, I’ve eliminated the lace at the bottom hem, but if anybody would like it back, let me know!
Knitting: Beret, Tam
The pattern calls for only about 50 yards of CC, so it’s a great way to use up any tiny bits of yarn you have leftover. It’s intended to fit loosely and comfortably on your head, though the colorwork around the brim makes it tight enough to stay on.
Knitting: Earflap Hat
For something a bit whimsical, a pair of leafy earflaps expand up into the hat, and taper off into a nubby stem. Just the thing a little elf would wear!
