In February of 1692, two young girls started acting strangely. They lived in Salem, Massachusetts and their fits— supposedly of supernatural origin— sparked what later became known as the Salem Witch Trials although it stretched more towns than just the one. Between 1692 and 1693 the accusations and trials resulted in the hanging deaths of 19 m...

Who will go drive with Fergus now,

I was inspired by a recent Sherlock Holmes read-along to knit something Holmesian. It would have to be simple-- as Sherlock is anything but an ostentatious person-- yet still fashionable, for Sherlock is never poorly dressed unless there is a reason! And it also needed to be practical for keeping off the cold while out searching for clues among...

Arrowhead Shawl is a simple, top-down triangular shawl using just over one skein of sock yarn. It is broken into three main sections: the top and the bottom are fun and easy lace arrowhead designs, while the center panel is an original motif of three complete arrows-- six total-- that stretch around the middle of the shawl!

Inspired by the hero of the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, this wrap is knit from one end to the other. It uses a provisional crochet cast on and a knit on edging to make binding off easy and no seaming!

Do you find yourself dreaming about long Empire waist dresses? Do you love your afternoon tea? Do you own multiple copies of not only Jane Austen books but also works by Elizabeth Gaskell and Maria Edgeworth among others?

Who doesn’t like the traditional Dracula, with his trailing cloak, high collar and fierce fangs extended-- ready to attack any unsuspecting victim!

This doll was created when, after a quick Google search, I realized that there weren’t any good crochet patterns for authentic looking Norse/Viking amigurumis. Now, no, this does not mean the doll is completely historically accurate, but I have tried to recreate it as much as possible within the confines of crochet without making it too complex...

Here’s what the Guide has to say about Babel fish:

These adorable little owls can be made in any variety of colors-- whatever mood strikes your fancy. (After all, it’s owl for you!!)

I call this a Candy Whale because it reminds me of some of the multi-colored hard candy you can sometimes buy! This pattern also matches my other ocean creature patterns you can find in my Ravelry store!

This cat is smug. He’s so smug because he knows that you love him and will want to make a smug cat of your own!!

On rainy or grey days, sometimes I just really long for a little sunshine! So I made this little guy to hang from the ceiling above my desk where I can bask in the cuteness of his little sunshine glow!

I call this a candy starfish just because of the lovely colors and how much it reminds me of colorful hard candies you can sometimes buy! And the great thing is, you can make this starfish in so many different color combinations!

These cute little jellyfish are made with multiple colors of yarn-- emulating the beautiful colors you see in real jellyfish!
