Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
I love mitts and I think everyone should have a pair. I use mine especially once it gets cold out for driving. It’s great to have a woolly barrier between a very cold steering wheel. My kids love them for keeping their hands toasty while waiting for the bus.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
What could be cuter than a baby bear hat for a new little baby? The hat is quick and simple. Perfect for last minute baby showers or your own sweet little one.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Scarf, Fingerless Gloves
I have decided to make this pattern free! Please use it to knit for a charity near you! So many people need warm things.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
I designed this pair of socks for my Two Socks at a Time Toe Up Sock Class. The pattern is written for one sock, but can easily be doubled for two at a time.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I was inspired by the book Beautiful Wreck by Larissa Brown
Knitting: Cowl, Scarf
I wanted to come up with a nifty way to make either a long scarf or a long cowl using a stitch pattern which worked well with handpainted yarn. This pattern is what I developed. Scarf or cowl are knit in the round. At the end you decide which it will be!
Knitting: Cowl
I was inspired by the current trend of wrapping small shoulder shawls around the neck like a bandana. I thought it would be so much easier to have a cowl achieve the same effect. Simply put it on and you instantly have a fashionable accessory without any fuss.
Knitting: Leggings
Sometimes the basics are just what work best. I love fancy handpainted yarn and what a great way to show it off! This pattern should work with just about any 50g skein of yarn. Even better, get 2 pairs out of one 100g skein!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Fingerless Gloves, Cowl
I designed these little items for my toddler originally out of handspun yarn. I was inspired by the wool / angora handspun to make them again doubling my handpainted sock yarn with my angora lace.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Mittens
Includes 2 different hat patterns and a pattern for thumbless mitts. The hats have a choice between leaves on bottom or leaves on top.
Knitting: Purse / Handbag
I designed this bag to complement my handpainted worsted weight yarn. It takes only one skein to complete this bag. It is a
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Love fingerless mitts but hate having leftover yarn when
Knitting: Legwarmers
After my baby was born I knit him a pair of legwarmers. I just loved how they looked. I knew he needed another pair, but a little fancier. One of my favorite patterns in colorwork is peas & carrots, so I thought I would use a simple slip stitch pattern to mimic it. These are definitely the high fashion legwarmers I was going for.
Knitting: Cardigan
I love baby sweaters. Especially ones that are quick and adorable. I designed this sweater to be just that. It is made so 2 contrasting skeins of yarn make 2 sweaters by simply switching which is the main color and which is contrast.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Named after the main street in the designer’s hometown of Hood River, Oregon, these gloves keep your hands warm but fingertips free, allowing you to knit, work a camera, or perform any activity requiring a precision touch.
Knitting: Earflap Hat
Keep your ears (and head!) toasty when you hit the slopes with this quick, fun top-down earflap hat.
Knitting: Cozy - Other
I designed this bottle cozy for the husband of a friend of mine. He enjoys drinking hot tea out of a canning jar, since glass jars do not leach out chemicals like the plastic alternatives. Before this he was simply wrapping a towel around the jar. I thought a much better solution would be an organic cotton jar cozy. This pattern is quick to kni...
Knitting: Cardigan
I was inspired by the yarn to design this sweater. It was so fluffy and soft it just had to be a baby sweater. The yarn is 100% organic cotton, which is perfect for baby’s soft skin. I also designed the sweater so that 2 skeins makes 2 sweaters by reversing the colors.
Knitting: Scarf
I designed this scarf specifically for my Silky Worsted yarn. I love how entrelac plays with the different colors of handpainted yarn. I just love my scarf! Finished measurements: 8” x 92”

Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
I designed these mitts with the idea that they would fit most women’s hand sizes. I used my hand as a guide and have tried them on other people to make sure that they would fit.
Knitting: Drawstring Bag
I created this bag because I started playing D & D with a group my husband’s friends and I needed something to hold my dice. In the game there are these things called magic bags of holding that can hold several items even though they are small and compact on the outside. I feel like a small knitted bag must be what they are talking about si...
