My sophomore year of college, my cousin asked me to make her a baby blanket for one of her friends who was expecting. In love with granny squares but wanting to do something other than a traditional granny square blanket, I came up with this! I made a few and gave them away over the years, until finally I only had one left, traveling with me from show to show, mainly used as a display covering. It garnered a lot of attention, so finally, after many requests from showgoers, I’ve written up this pattern and now you can make your very own! It’s a quick blanket to whip up for a gift and it would be an amazing full-size throw as well! A perfect speedy project for a last minute shower, it works up easily in a weekend, and makes a treasured heirloom blanket for all the kiddies to come.

This pattern is the result of my quest to make a pair of fingerless mitts out of a precious skein of handspun yarn. Like many skeins of handspun yarn, it was a little on the short side, and I was worried about running out of this one-of-a-kind yarn. I developed this top-down construction to get the most mitt for my yardage, and now you can too!

When I was making my photo samples for the Before The Fall tam (using the scraps from my photo sample of my Footprints Cowl) I had almost half a skein of yarn left over. Never one to leave a partial hanging around, these gloves were born. Knit from the top down featuring faux cables and an afterthought thumb, they are a great intro to fingerles...

I’m a maniac about hats. Seriously, I’ve made at least 100, if not more, at the time this is published. There’s no way I could possibly count them all, so you’ll just have to take it from me – I love making hats. It’s this love that prompted me to write and eventually publish my first pattern, Heart & Soul, which is my foolproof recipe for ...

I spent a fall and winter working at a local photo studio, and aside from the obligatory family Christmas photo our bread and butter was baby photos, especially newborns. The most requested props for these shoots were always matching diaper covers and hats, and a number of clients came in with their own mass-produced versions to coordinate with...

On my quest for a perfect beach tote/farmer’s market bag, I tried several patterns.

As always, in my times of need I turned to my trusty stitch dictionaries and this bag was born. This bag is large enough...
