Crochet: Cloche Hat
I really wanted to design a hat that would completely guard me from the world on those days where I just wanted to hide… you know that kind of day… the kind of day you want to watch but not be watched! This hat comes down past the brow-line and allows you to peak out from under it without the world seeing you but still allows you to give that h...
Crochet: Purse / Handbag
I love all those new pleated purses that you see today, so I decided to come up with my own crochet version. This purse is just the perfect size for all your essentials but small enough that it would be perfect for a night on the town. Classy and elegant are the two words that best describe this purse, no, make that three words….and FUN!
Crochet: Brimmed Hat
This is the perfect pattern to make on those Stormy Days and the perfect hat to wear on those Stormy Days. I love the feel and the weight of this hat! You’ll love it!
Crochet: Earflap Hat
Now this is a fun hat to make! In only an evening you could have a brand new hat! Use your scraps of yarn to make a really funky hat, or use that specialty yarn you’ve been saving to create something wonderful. Make it with braids, tassels, whatever you want! Be creative with this one!
Crochet: Cloche Hat
A friend of mine asked if I could make her a hat that she could wear in the Spring when the weather was still a bit cold, but a hat that still had a nice fresh Spring feel to it. This is what I came up with… a nice simple hat with a beautiful full flower on the side. This is something you could wear around the yard cleaning up, on a hike to get...
Crochet: Mittens
A really simple crochet pattern that would be nice in the traditional red and white for Christmas or in any other colour combination for the rest of the cold months.
Crochet: Convertible Gloves
Where I live, way out in the country, I love to wear mittens when I go for a walk but I’m the kind of person that always watches the ground when they walk. Why? Because I’m always looking some sort of treasure. Be it rocks, a stray feather, leaves or even bugs, I want to be able to pick them up and put them in my pocket (not the bugs…at least n...
Crochet: Mittens
These mittens are perfect for not only keeping you warm, but are extremely functional! Designed to be form fitting and to have a long length in the wrist to keep those nasty drafts away, you will never want to take these off. Trust me, I’m Canadian, I know my mittens!
Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
This is my version of the Classic Driving Glove, open at the wrist with a lovely little strap that wraps around and buttons on top. These are great for just about anything, but look really sexy behind the wheel!
Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
I was asked by a customer to make some “Funky” Wristwarmers for her teenage daughters and this is what we came up with. According to these stylish teenagers they are “way cool”! So why not whip yourself up a pair and join the cool crowd!!!
Crochet: Cuffs
Why not add a touch of whimsy and charm to your everyday clothes with these Victorian Cuffs. I think they would look fantastic peeking out from any jacket or coat. They are so easy to make you’ll want a set in every colour imaginable!
Crochet: Cowl
We all want to be warm during those cold winter months but why not look great doing it! I designed this neck warmer to be both comfortable and romantic. It looks great with jeans, but it could easily be dressed up and worn with a little cocktail dress. It also looks great under a sweater or jacket with the neck ruffles peaking through. I think ...
Crochet: Cuffs
This is a truly elegant wristwarmer for those of you who want that romantic look AND the ability to keep warm! Imagine! The edging makes me think of the petals of an ice queen’s flower peaking out from underneath a sleeve.
Crochet: Cowl
I love the way the edging of this neckwarmer looks like the petals of an ice queen’s flower. The larger petals gently fall down around your neck while smaller petals frame your face. As a bonus this neckwarmer will also keep you warm! Imagine, looking good AND keeping warm! It’s truly a dream come true!
Crochet: Legwarmers
Ladies, imagine the day when we can look fashionable AND keep warm, all at the same time! Well today is the day! These legwarmers can be worn pulled up like socks, slumped over jeans, worn with tights, the possibilities are endless! PLUS, as I said, they will keep you warm! Next I just need to figure out how to get all those calories out of ice...
Crochet: Brimmed Hat
These hats are a ray of sunshine on those cold winter days. I made these ones from 100% wool from Canada’s oldest woollen mill, Briggs and Little, located right here in New Brunswick, but any worsted weight 100% wool or yarn suitable for felting will do the trick!
Crochet: Mittens
I can’t wait to wear these mittens on Winter’s Eve walking under the stars at midnight through the freshly fallen snow with my husband at my side and my cats trailing behind me. Then we will go into my festively decorated house and sit by the fireplace drinking warmed apple cider and admire the Christmas Tree. Sigh… let it snow, let it snow, le...

Crochet: Cowl
I can just picture myself wearing this neckwarmer strolling along the abandoned beach shores in the cold winter months with the salt air blowing in my hair, a faithful dog running by my side and the winter sun warming my face. Hmmm, well, I can wear it when I go get the mail! And boy will I look good!
Crochet: Cowl

Crochet: Cowl
I was brought up in a family of woods workers and the smell of a chainsaw, wood chips and woollen Lumber Jack Socks drying on the wood stove brings back a flood of childhood memories. Hence the creation of the Lumber Jillian Patterns, a touch of country, classic comfort and of course that added touch of feminism that I love so much.

Crochet: Beret, Tam
Londonderry Hat Pattern is very versatile and looks really cute with short hair, but it’s roomy enough to tuck longer hair up underneath it, or put your hair in braids. Don’t worry though, it looks great with your hair down too. Crocheted with two strands of yarn this hat has lots of stretch to it and should fit all head sizes from 21-25 in. (5...

This purse is really, truly romantic! The 3-D flowers adorning it gives it a real soft, dainty, pretty, whimsical feel. Bella Rosa or Beautiful Rose is also the perfect size.

Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
The best of two worlds; elegance and funky, these arm warmers can give you two very different looks. The first look of pulling them up and wearing them as long gloves gives a real graceful, elegant look. The second look is a more contemporary grunge look by taking out the ribbons and wearing them slumped.
