This is a collection of five Hawaii-inspired summer knitting projects perfect for knitting and wearing on the beach.

The Harrow Collection was designed with Victorian- era style in mind, so it’s got a touch of the costume feeling about it. It’s what I might knit and wear in a drafty old house while reading Whuthering Heights in front of a sputtering fire.

Years ago I accepted a dare to create a knitting pattern of the Dude’s sweater in the movie, The Big Lebowski. The Dude has been one of my most popular patterns, and I’ve designed a lot of things since then, but I’ve always wanted to revisit that concept. I’ve been plotting a Dude-inspired sweater that could fit anyone and would be a joy to knit, and I’ve finally accomplished my goal with The Royal We: Dude Patterns for Everyone.

When I first began designing this collection, I had a vision: classy, interesting knits that men would want to wear as well as knit. Having lived in both the city and the country, I have found inspiration in both the practical casualness of the urban Northwest lifestyle, as well as the earthy outdoorsiness of the country. Both places meet in this collection, which melds simplicity, masculinity, and style.

This top-down pullover will adorn your shoulders with a natural spark!

Here in Victoria, BC, we have rocky hillsides that are blanketed in verdant moss and ferns wherever there are shady spots, and adorned with pebbly stonecrop in the sunshine. Those sunny havens are where little snakes love to spread out and warm up. Snakes in the Stonecrop cowl is a joyful meditation on the small plants and critters that share o...

Grab your precious leftover sock yarn and make plans for a fun, scrappy project! Scrappy Leaves Socks are meant to remind you of leaves blowing in the wind, bringing a nature meditation to your knitting needles. They’re worked top-down with five colours of sock yarn, giving you a beautiful palette to express your creativity.

This whimsical celebration of nature is perfect for using up your woolly scraps. Each section of leaves only takes a few yards of yarn and you can use two different background colours! So grab your favourite leftovers, plan out your colours, and cast on for a fun knitting experience and a cozy finished project.

Being outside at all times of year is a must for me and lately I’ve found myself grabbing those sweaters that are just a tiny bit slouchy, that fit easily over my button-up shirts, and offer that extra bit of coziness. And I’ve been craving a sweater that’s both basic and extravagant, one that will feel like a neutral while still satisfying my ...

Here on the west coast of Canada, the wind can pick up and the waves crash hard on rocky shorelines. In parts of Vancouver Island, “storm watching” is advertised as a tourist activity to encourage folks to come here in the winter and it’s not just a gimmick! Storm season is a breathtaking time of year for contemplating the energy and beauty of ...

The giant Pacific octopus is a creature with an incredible ability to camouflage, changing the colour and texture of their skin at will. This sock pattern is meant to invoke that changeable, underwater glory. I see suckers fading into the surroundings of bull kelp and seawater, though it can’t quite be pinned down.

The Moon Jelly Hat is an homage to the diaphanous animals that seem like aliens floating through the ocean. Worked with a long, ribbed brim, it’s a cozy, comforting knit with just the tiniest bit of colourwork at the top of the crown.

Kids have a special sense of justice and fairness. Inspired by the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her dramatic adornments, this sweater is for those kids who want to be a part of a better world and the grown-ups who are on their side.

It gets dark quicker under the forest canopy. These florals and ferns are a celebration of those shadowy corners where you might spot a bright bit of colour as the sun goes down. This meditative colourwork cowl is worked in the round and grafted at the end. Pair a jewel tone with a moody heathered wool for a nighttime vibe, or switch to a soft ...

I find joy in paying attention to small things in nature. I’m one of those hikers who appreciates “botany pace” in which everyone present is constantly pausing to say, “Look at this!” I’ll stop mid-stride to hear that bird call again. I’ll stoop down low to see the underside of a weird fungus. And I can hardly bear to just walk by a flower with...

A Checklist of Birds is a very pleasing catalog that lists the birds that are present in a particular region and when they’re around. This pattern takes that concept and puts it into sock form! Now you’ll always remember that Northern Flickers are common all year round in Victoria but that you’re much more likely to see Goldfinches and Rufous H...

This is the epic heirloom project you’ve been waiting for.

This slouchy cowl is stylish and easy to wear. Toss it on in any direction for cozy warmth and a chic layer. The textured circle motifs are fun to knit and create visual interest when the cowl is seamed. The clever construction means there is no shaping -- just work a rectangle and then sew the cast-on edge to the side for a faux triangle shawl...

Three Seasons Shawl is a study in opposing lines and graphic stripes. It’s constructed as a classic triangle shawl, and the self-striping yarn from Gauge Dye Works gives clear cues for when to begin the central motif over again. Depending on which version you’re making — five stripes or seven; with one or two skeins of yarn — your project will ...

This is the June pattern for the Gauge Dye Works Summer 2021 Yarn + Pattern Club.

These mitts are for keeping warm during all kinds of exploration. They’re named after a park I love here in Victoria, Witty’s Lagoon, where you can walk a forest trail down to a wide beach that’s filled with birds and intertidal creatures. I designed them to suit adventurers of all ages and inclinations, so there are sizes from kid to grownup, ...

I designed this toque as a fun addition to my Dissent series, patterns inspired by American Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I thought it would be great to have a hat pattern that could be used as a swatch for either the worsted or fingering weight sweater. I’ll admit that I had no plan, no thought, of Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying before...

The Botanical Sampler is a lace cowl that explores some classic motifs to give a fun, rewarding project. I imagined the Agave Lace as climbing leaves and the Shale Lace as wildflowers and grasses waving in a meadow. This cowl hits that perfect balance of engaging and relaxing, elegant and basic, with a cozy shape and size that’ll keep you warm ...

Spring wildflowers in Victoria make it one of my favourite times to be outside. This sock design reminds me of blooms like camas, calypso orchids, and seablush in a sea of green grasses against a warm blue sky. Enjoy a springtime meadow right on your needles and wear it on your feet all year long.

If you know me, you’ll already know that I’m inspired by American Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is my second design that’s an interpretation of Justice Ginsburg’s Dissent jabot, a decorative collar that she wears when she reads dissenting opinions in the court. This fingering weight pullover comes with several versions to mix ...

This lightweight pullover is a sweet, elegant treasure that will carry you between seasons. The yoke pattern is simple but mesmerizing, making it a wonderful first sweater pattern and a wardrobe staple. I named it after seablush, a plant that produces wonderful little pink puffballs of flowers. It’s native to Vancouver Island and was one of the...

The Build textured shawl has a spirit of natural growth and purposeful ingenuity. Beginning at the narrow end, the ribbing gradually divides and expands, one rib flowing into the next, resulting in boldly geometric lines evocative of wood grain. The color changes in my version to create a gradient that climaxes in a pop of striking color, but t...

Inspired by branches and raindrops against a rich sunset, Silhouette and Sky uses simple colourwork combined with bobbles to create texture and colour pattern. This project has lots of special details - the tubular cast-on creates a perfectly rounded bottom edge; one golden bobble above the brim evokes the last rays of the day’s sunlight, and t...

This scarf was inspired by the natural shifts from day to night, evoking the colours of the sky with the rising and setting of the sun. Its chevron and biased stripes are meditative, easy to memorize, and easy to follow, making it a pure pleasure to knit, with pops of colour that make it a joy to wear.

A knitted exploration of the sky has to include the sun and the moon. These socks are designed to express whichever energy you’re feeling today. The textured stitch pattern along the legs is not only beautiful and fun to knit, it also adds elasticity to keep your socks fitting comfortably. Sun and Moon colourwork are both simple charts, and the...

Botanical Beach is a wild place in Port Renfrew, BC on Vancouver Island where the waves crash on slippery rocks and gorgeous evergreen trees jut above the shoreline.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is known for her dissenting opinions. When she reads a dissent, she often wears a particular collar, or “jabot.” It’s a striking visual adornment and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to design a yoke sweater inspired by it. This sweater, Dissent, is my tribute to RBG. May we all channel her whe...

The rhythmic geometry of this colorful cowl is perfect for colorwork beginners, and fantastic for using up stash leftovers. The two versions — two-color worsted or four-color DK — are both perfect canvasses for playing with palettes.

I live just a short walk away from a park that’s right on the water. There’s a sweet beach, forested paths, and a striking rocky shoreline that gets strong, crashing waves coming in.
