admire a fancy knitting stitch, but to be honest, a knit/purl combination is my favorite!

Knitting: Cowl
The Spinnaker Cowl was created to be a set with the Spinnaker Beanie pattern. Faux cables created by right twisted stitches give the look of little waves. The town of White Bear Lake, MN where I live is known for sailing races, so the Spinnaker Cowl name is a nod to the iconic sailboats on White Bear Lake.

Knitting: Wall Hanging
This wall hanging combines knitting and weaving techniques for a unique project that looks like macrame, but is actually an easy approachable project for knitters! Named after Iona’s Beach on Lake Superior’s shore in northern Minnesota, the chunky weaving in this pattern reminds me of the pink pebbles at this beach.
Knitting: Wall Hanging
I love the look of macrame and woven wall hangings, and when I discovered the Loop Stitch in knitting, I knew it’d be perfect for wall decor! I am influenced by Scandinavian designs (simple, with lots of layered textures), and I love the textured, boho vibe this stitch gives. This pattern is named after a cute little nearby town called Scandia.
Knitting: Cup / Mug
I absolutely hate wasting things, whether it’s leftover yarn, or those cardboard coffee sleeves you’re given on your cup of to-go coffee. Enter the knit coffee cozy! These make a fun little gift, stocking stuffer, gift card holder, or small item for your craft market booth.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Named for the little town across the lake from where I live, the Birchwood Beanie is my take on that popular store-bought acrylic hat that everyone wears.

SEASPRAY: “The water thrown into the air when waves break on the shore.” Being near water, whether the Pacific Ocean from the California coast, or the lakes of Minnesota, has always brought me peace.

“LOPPET”: a race which occurs over a varied terrain. This pattern gets its name from the varied textures of bobbles and yarn held double.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
“Seachange”: a profound or notable transformation. The pattern is named after the amazing change a baby brings into all the lives of people around it; and in the pattern, each time a new color is added, the blanket changes and creates a nice marled effect.

Knitting: Pet Clothing

The lattice cables filled with seed stitch create a unique texture in this hat - this is not your basic cable beanie! The cables are created using left- and right-twisted stitches no cable needle needed! The name comes from the North Loop neighborhood in Minneapolis, where my husband and I end up on most of our date nights.
