Delightfully fun and deceptively simple, this moebius cowl features a reversible textured lace pattern, which is worked entirely with knit stitches. There is not a single purl used! A nifty knitter’s trick makes this possible and is thoroughly explained. A link to a video tutorial for the special cast on used is included in the pattern.

Inspired by the theme of “AIR,” stitches reminiscent of wind chimes and whirligigs are featured in this pattern. The shawl uses Faroese shaping with a center back panel and shoulder shaping, which allows for comfortable wearing as it stays put on the shoulders. It is worked from the top down with a reverse stockinette stitch background. Increas...

Mounds of recycled road and building material, sand, and other “dirt” were the inspiration for this design. The French name I gave it sounds much more elegant than “Beautiful Dirt.”

What do you see? Are there butterflies or diamonds? This stitch pattern is an optical illusion playing tricks on the eyes. One minute you see a butterfly; look again and you see diamonds.

Come, join in the fun of a design that evokes experiences over time. The concept of this shawl has been swirling around in my head for a while, but a recent trip to a place where I spent my early years gave me the theme. Various stitch patterns and techniques are used to carry this out. Some will be familiar, and some may be new. The pattern in...

The mature oak and maple trees in our yard provide wonderful shade. This triangular shawl is a lace sampler in which depicting the canopy these trees provide. The shawl begins with an original stitch pattern repesenting the sun shining down on the tree tops. Additional elements include the leaves of the trees, acorns that the oaks produce, butt...

This motif was designed so that I would have a starfish to use when I wanted it. I chose a tone-on-tone yarn so that it would look like the colors of the sand. However, the motif would probably show better in a solid yarn.

Originally designed for a MKAL, the pattern has now been consolidated into one document. Elements of three different ethnic knitting cultures have been used in this shawl. Thus it is an amalgamation of sorts.

When we look toward the horizon, things seem to get progressively smaller. Inspired by the trails through the nature preserves on Block Island, this stitch pattern evoked the thought of those trails leading out to the ocean. Thus the idea was born. A series of almost invisible decreases create both the shape and illusion reminiscent of looking ...

Our backyard has several oak trees, and each autumn the acorns fall to the ground covering our yard and providing food for the squirrels. This semi-circular shawl is filled with acorns, both small and large, just as our yard is in the fall. In this piece, each acorn is surrounded by its own little lace frame providing an allover lace pattern in...
