My absolute favorite chocolate is the Queen Anne’s Cherry Cordials. There is something about the combination of the cherry and the chocolate that I just love. And the color combination of this yarn brings to mind this amazing treat!

This truly is an unexpected beanie. This design was not one that I had been ruminating on for a while like several of my other designs. An Unexpected Beanie came about after a Trunk Show with Robin’s Nest Fiber Arts at my local yarn store, Tempe Yarn and Fiber. My son’s favorite color is green and Robin asked him if he wanted Mommy to make him ...

It wasn’t until after completing the photoshoot that the name came to me. Out of all the beanies the lovely Ann Ethington modeled for me that day, this one s...

Continuation of the Zodiac colorway from Madelinetosh. With all the purples, this has become my personal favorite beanie. Super comfortable, reversible and with enough slouch to pull down low over your ears!

When seeing a Facebook post from Madelinetosh looking to collaborate with designers, I reached out with the shawl design in mind. They were looking for designs that would require a maximum of 3 skeins of yarn, which the...
