This pattern was most certainly born of necessity - the necessity for a quick warm up. I work in an old building and my office gets very chilly from early November until late May. As the sun sets and the afternoon cools, I pull these out of my desk drawer and slip them on. Warming my hands and covering that pulse point at my wrist are instant w...

Autumn is a time of constant change, some gradual and subtle and some abrupt and swift. The weather cooling and nature is metamorphizing along with the chilling air. In SoCal, it always seems to be the hottest as the days melt into each other and we anticipate that cooler air. Suddenly, it arrives sweet and crisp. I found that fall turnover is ...

This hat is not only fast, but it is a little bit pretty!

This pattern was inspired by my son Alexander, a

Very fast decoration with some interesting construction techniques.

Made this gooshy, soft hat for my hubby in one evening.

Some hints are subtle and some are not. This scarf is a classic and bold way to present a luscious ribbon yarn, subtlety not being its strong suit. The hat, a lovely cousin, shows a lovely interaction between a soft and luxurious alpaca silk and that same beautiful ribbon yarn.

Color pooling and not enough yardage for a whole scarf from the single ball provided; these are often encountered problems, as we have all coveted some stunning handpainted yarn and, either prohibited by cost or by lacking immediate project ideas, have ended up with a single ball of that fiber art.

These simple fingerless mittens are a great way to explore intarsia, a colorwork technique that allows you to put a graphic design in the middle of a field of color without adding any bulk to the fabric.. Your choice of a heart or a circle motif, you will be learning a valuable skill that will open new worlds for playing with delicious colors.

From your 1st to your 15th felted project, this bag is a very easy way to make a new tote for fun or for gifting.

Of course, you can make a sweater (or a vest).

This shawl is the combination of at least three different

This little guy is the perfect model for a mini Baby Surprise jacket. He knits up very quickly and uses those bits of yarn you have laying about. My baby loves squeeze his squishy body and to chew on his dangling arms.

This jacket uses Log Cabin blocks as the

This sweater, worked from the top down, was improvised one weekend and quickly became a personal favorite (yes, I am biased). The design and excecution are very easy and accessible. Both the knitting and the minimal finishing happen quickly. The best part is probably dressing the long awaited recipient in your creation. It is a great place to u...

This hat was designed originally as a first project for a fearless girl named Melanie, and nicknamed Me. She leaped right in with hardly any knitting and purling experience and made this very combo of seed stitch and cables. She did it and so can you!

This shrug is a super quick knit and is flattering to many shapes and figures. When choosing your yarn, you have a wide palette - simply choose a yarn with lots of loft to fill the stitches on a US 13. When in doubt, swatch it! The pattern has multiple sleeve lengths and offers the option to lengthen the body before beginning the V-shaping. Lon...

This sweet sweater is cast on at one edge and bound off at the other end. A great gift, this creation is a perfect coming home sweater for a new addition.
