The Lone Pine Flock & Fir Cowl is the second pattern I’ve designed specifically for the Lone Pine Wool Emporium in Helena, MT. It was designed to showcase local yarns from their store, including two yarns grown and produced in Montana. When I asked them what they had in mind for this year’s design, their response was a cowl with color work ...

The Copper K Shawl knitting pattern creates a stunning effect when using two contrasting colors. Designed for both DK/Worsted and Fingering/Sock, it is a fun knit for the experienced knitter and a great pattern to help beginning/intermediate knitters develop some new skills. It was designed for the 2025 Copper K Festival ‘s Colorway .

The Weavers and Wheat Wrap was deigned for the ladies at Greycliff Wool Works in Greycliff Montana for a 2025 Knit-a-Long using their own Greycliff Fingering weight yarn, which was hand-dyed by Rachel Moberg of Crafted by Locals. The wool is grown, milled, spun, and dyed in Montana.

It’s time for a new knitting pattern, and a Knit-A-Long to go with it. The Lone Pine Shawl is written for three different yarn weights and uses homegrown Lone Pine BFL yarns. (Available at Lone Pine Wool Emporium in Helena, MT)

This pattern uses basic cable and lace stitches to help new knitters gain confidence in their work.
