Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Cranberry Lattice is a 3/4 square shawl knitted from the top down with an elegant stranded colorwork border. I chose to soften the shape by blocking the shawl to a semi-circular shape.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
The Lazy Day Socks are knitted from the toe up with a German short row heel. The sole of the socks are worked in 2x2 ribbing, while the legs and the top of the socks are worked in a simple 2 row texture pattern.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These socks are knitted from the toe up with a standard heel flap type heel and some fun stranded colorwork on the leg. Though the colorwork takes 2 contrast colors, only 2 colors are ever used in the same round.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is knitted from the bottom up with a double thick cuff and stranded colorwork. The contrast color is two yarns held together, specifically a sock weight yarn and a lace weight yarn. This allows just a little bit of mohair and silk to be mixed in causing the colorwork to really pop and glow.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is knitted from the bottom up with a double thick cuff and all-over colorwork. There are only a few places where the contrast color has to be carried over many stitches, making this a rather relaxing knit!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Lake Erie Waves is a 2-color stranded colorwork hat worked in the round.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Frosted Dreams is a 2-color stranded colorwork hat worked in the round. Soft merino helps prevent itchy foreheads, while the stranded colorwork adds extra squish and warmth.
