I am a sucker for mohair. I love the sheen of the fiber and how it glows when dyed in saturated colors.

I met a woman who wanted to make a blanket for a pig rescue. She had photos of a pig afghan that I absolutely could not find online; so she and I developed a new one!

These strappy little socks knit up quickly at a relatively large gauge, and they won’t make your feet overheat in a Bikram session!

Okay, it’s also a dish cloth (and thick enough to be a pot holder) but I love a punny name!

This is a charted fair isle stitch pattern.

Are you ready for Yarnosphere? Me neither! But here’s one of our charity knit-out patterns to get you started. It’s a soap cosy that’s the perfect size for a round hotel soap, and it’s a real quick knit in any un-mercerized cotton.

This pattern provides a detailed description of how to build a dreamcatcher around a hula hoop.

Frilly yarn isn’t just for silly scarves! This quick and easy knit evokes retro petal hats and latex swim caps rom the 1960s. It’s so stretchy that just two sizes will fit newborns to adults.

I hate when this happens … a non-knitter hands you a single, lumpy-bumpy ball of slubby cotton yarn and gushes, “Make me something fancy!”

Here’s a woodland treat; a clever cabled owl that perches on Baby’s toe, while leaves swirl overhead in opposite directions on each bootie.

Here’s an elegant pair of booties to keep Baby’s feet warm and stylish!

These booties are fun and interesting to make, because you are always doing something different.

Leftover sock yarn? Not on my watch.

Tired of spending hours to crochet an angel head, only to realize you’ve made a giant Q-Tip (tm) brand swab?

Dress up your holiday wardrobe with this fun little fur-and-pearl collar, and the world is your oyster!

Everyone needs a great bat! This quick knit, assembled from six pieces, looks impressive with wings folded or poised for flight. With variations for stiff and soft yarn or felting, you’ll want to knit a whole colony.

This pattern is intended for advanced sock knitters who know what sort of heel and toe they prefer. It also assumes you like to knit toe-up on a magic loop.
