Pattern Inspiration:

This pattern was inspired by my visit to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico! I was able to tour the caverns, and I was just struck by the amount of texture inside! While it’s impossible to duplicate the textures nature has created over millions of years, this is my interpretation.

This pattern was inspired by my visit to the beautiful city of Camp Verde, AZ! I really enjoyed watching the sun rise over mountains every morning. It made the whole area glow with amazing golden orange light! This headband is the perfect accessory for those early morning walks.

This pattern was inspired by our visit to Sedona, AZ! The red rock landscape is simply beautiful, and it has an amazing glow at sunset! The yarn I used was a direct inspiration as well: Mary Gavan Yarns in the colorway “Sedona Sunset,“ purchased at the amazing local yarn shop in Sedona, Sedona Knit Wits! Mary’s yarn captured the colors of the a...

The Acadia Blanket is perfect as a baby blanket or throw! Includes instructions for a 38x51” blanket, as well as custom sizing instructions. Custom instructions would allow other yarn weights to be used.

This shawlette was inspired by the beautiful town of Ellsworth, Maine. It features simple stitches combined in beautiful ways for a lovely lightweight scarf/shawl that can be worn year round!

These little ornaments are worked all in hdc variations, and are perfect last minute gifts! The pattern was designed for DK weight, but any weight yarn can be used to create ornaments of varying sizes. Included are patterns for beanie, stocking, and sweater ornaments.

This trapezoid shaped shawl is full of texture! The lacy mesh rows provide amazing drape, while the bobbles and fans of the solid sections bring gorgeous depth to the pattern.

This uniquely-structured tote bag is totally customizable! Use whatever sturdy yarn is in your stash to make a useful and handy bag for all your adventures! Pattern is written for no specific gauge. Testers used a variety of worsted and bulky yarns. Yardage and yarn for each tester’s project is listed in the pattern.

This trapezoid shaped shawl is worked from the bottom edge up, and the edging is added last. Size is easily adjustable by adding or subtracting rows and starting chains.

This rectangular wrap will be the perfect piece in your transitional weather wardrobe! The lacy stitches keep things light, but the wrap is nice and wide for that touch of cozy. It would be perfect made in wool for the winter or cotton for the spring/summer!

The cowl is written for adult sizes, but instructions are given for lengthening or shortening the cowl. Instructions are also customizable for solid or colorblock patterns.

These easy mitts work up quickly, making them a great stash buster and a great gift pattern! One size fits most. I made another pair for my husband’s large hands by going up one hook size and using Aran weight yarn instead of light worsted.

The newest addition to the Crossing Paths collection is this quick and easy headband! Make the wide version for extra coziness, or the regular width to hold your hair back (but it’s wide enough to keep your ears warm too!).

The sister pattern to the Crossing Paths Headband, this version uses weight 5 yarn with the same textured stitch pattern. Options are given for a flat or twisted knot headband. One size fits most adults, but length is easily adjustable by adding or subtracting rows.

This hat is worked bottom-up, starting with a hdc in the 3rd loop ribbing.
