This is a versatile garment! Imagine a wrap, a shawl and a poncho had a baby! It goes over your shoulders like a shawl, is shaped like a wrap, and keeps you warm like a poncho. A long rectangle that goes up your back and divides at the neck and comes down your front. Think of it as a Long Shawl. Wide enough to fall down your arms enough to keep...

This pattern uses all knit/purl stitches. No yarn overs. no k2togs, no scary lace.  

This lace shawl is an equilateral triangle.

These are my favorite go-to mitts. The ribbing pattern makes them magical - they stretch nicely for larger hands and hug smaller hands, so they fit almost everyone! The pattern is set up to work these mitts two at a time using magic loop, although you can do them anyway you like. Working the thumb first gives you a tiny little swatch to make su...

This hat is simple and fun. It wears well, and is easily sized up or down by adding or subtracting stitches in groups of 5. The tassel is optional. Great for adults or kids.

Reinforced stitching on the heel, back and bottom, to enhance longevity. Comfortable and quick to knit, these socks are great at highlighting pretty hand-dyed yarn, or any other yarn you...

This sweater fits a 42 bust as written, and you can increase or decrease the size by adding stitches or subtracting stitches from the stockinette panels in the front and back.

Short with ruffles, or longer without, these simple lace socks are comfortable to wear, fun and easy to knit, and combine the sensibleness of toe up with the unalloyed joy of creating heel flaps.

Simple but fun cable patterns look lovely in this charming pillow. As an accent pillow, or a series of matching pillows these would look great on any style of furniture. They also make great gifts!

Socks fit anyone who appreciates dragons! Not only do these socks feature beaded dragons that guard your every step, but super secret dragons on the top of the foot that only you can see and admire! These simply made, but completely engaging socks will have you roaring with delight!

This shawl was designed for a friend who wanted to give their mother-in-law a fluffy, light-weight, but warm shawl that was rectangle instead of the very popular triangle shape. I had been looking for an excuse to make something with Ushya from Marisol and this turned out to be the perfect yarn for the project.

I love cables. I love socks. While that may not say much for me as a person, as a knitter it says that I am never happier than when I am combining complicated twists and turns with lovely yarn to create garments for the feet. These socks have cables that give the socks some structure, and slipped stitches that give some grace to the sock, and s...

The type of yarn I used in the pictured socks was Louisa Hardings Willow Tweed in color 11.

Make sure you twist the first and last stitch of the cable (on the rows your aren’t actually making the cable) because this will keep the yarn where it should be when you drop the stitches at the end!
