Windows is a collection of three patterns that uses the simple color work technique of carrying two yarns together. I don’t know the name for the technique so I always refer to it as “windows.” There is no intarsia involved, it’s suitable for beginning knitters and it gives a striking finished product. I hope that you enjoy it!

The Bowdoin Street hat is knit in the round and not decreased at the brim - the stitches are just pulled through at the end which makes this a quick knit for a nice gift. I hope you enjoy it!

Shawl for Holiday Sets

Sharon From Security here, DO NOT PORT ME TO THE BOSS FOR PUBLISHIN THIS 3 MOS EARLY.

The Sharon Road Trip shawl MKAL will begin July 12! We will open a discussion thread in the Casapinka group this week so you can discuss colors. There will be one clue per week for 6 weeks.

Onchopay is made in Malabrigo Rios in fun colors and has a large, textured cowl for cosiness. Sharon From Security does not own one (refused. Attitude problem.)

Want to learn Colorwork? Check out my class at Knit Stars here - you can buy it on its own or with all of Season 6. You can also meet Sharon From Security who sometimes designs patterns and pretty much always offers opinions. She actually has been fed this month so please don’t hit my in-box with PETA threats.

There is a January KAL just starting in the Casapinka group -we will be knitting from the Winter Light E-book (which also has adult beverages) and are also adding this simple pattern which was a gift to our Patreon subscribers. Please join us for some prizes and a laid back vibe here. You don’t have to sign up, just join in - and we welcome peo...

You are JUST purchasing the schematic! Use this to plan your wrap/shawl if you like.

This is a flexible shawl and can be made with a range of yardages. It was designed in one of the Noro “Dino Eggs”, Noro Akari (523 yards of worsted) but there are instructions to use a single skein of 400 yards of fingering if you like to do that.

Everyone who bought the MKAL pattern (“Sharon on the Trail”) you will automatically get 50% off as a thank you for ticipatin (PS don’t tell The Boss) - SFS xx

Sharon on the Trail is a Mystery Knit-a-long that begins July 21, and you will receive one clue per week for 6 weeks. Join us in the Casapinka Group for color opinions and mkal chat.

Due to so many requests, Sharon From Security (with help) has produced the Sharon’s Glamping 2 Blanket. Photos are in her pilfered camper where she is chronically not cooperating “cos I got a LOTTA stuff to do, Boss!”

It’s LYS Day so get this pattern for FREE when you buy yarn for it from any participating LYS! Lots of Local Yarn Stores are on-line so not having an LYS doesn’t mean you can’t give your business to one!

Shaved Ice can be made with 4 colors or in a solid color. It is a cool summer top that has a bit of lace, a bit of texture and a pretty V neck.

Let’s knit some hats for our fellow humans from Ukraine. Gift one to a friend and wear yours in soidarity and support.

This was the Summer 2021 MKAL. We have left it in clue form because this isn’t just a knitting pattern; it is an experience. Drinks recipes, life advice from a Sharon, and lots of snark.

Don’t forget that the annual Casapinka/Miss Babs MKAL “The Snark-o-meter” begins August 15! More information here.

The Birdwatcher name was chosen by Sharon From Security and Finn from Interpol (it’s a spy thing.) It is a slightly cropped summer top that looks great in a speckled or tonal yarn. It is constructed in the round from the bottom, up to the underarms (just knit more rounds to un-crop it.) You then knit back and forth (note - many people need to s...

emPower people is a purple colored craftivism project aimed at uniting crafters to spark conversation, engagement, and action. Wear it when you vote, grocery shop, march, or knit in your socially isolated bedroom.

It’s time for some pandemic knitting! Whether you’re on lockdown or not, let’s get knitting something fun and relaxing that will take your mind off your toilet paper woes.

Coming this weekend!

Kits Available Here.

This is a collaboration with Kitterly - and the kit can be purchased here. The other patterns in the collection can be seen here.

You can buy the yarn at Vogue Knitting Live in the ChileKnitz booth!

I love images and stories about forests at night so when I found this Asylum Fibers yarn, I knew I had to use it for this purpose! This sweater is my version of a fantasy night forest. I designed it in “blendy” yarns but you can create your own night forest using the colors that you like. This yarn will be available in the Asylum Fibers booths ...

Go choose your own yarn at Vogue Knitting Live in the Yarn Culture Booth! (Also, a number of local yarn stores have Spun Right Round Squish DK or something that will work as well.)

a 25% discount given automatically at checkout now, through Thanksgiving day.

Look, Squirrel! is 25% off leading up to Rhinebeck so even if you aren’t going, you can join in the fun! It will be full price on Friday. You can also get your yarn for it at the Junkyarn booth at Rhinebeck and stop by to say hello Friday morning if you are there!

Mello Kitty, y’all! Our kitten, Karen from Finance (see left - yes, named after the Australian drag queen) is the new CFO of Casapinka, just to fill you in. And what she’s actually saying is “Save your receipts, dammit!”

It is Clue 7 time for the Perfect Blend MKAL! If you bought the pattern for The Perfect Blend, this has been placed in your library already as Clue 7 so do not purchase it!

The Derby Divas were designed in honor of Simply Socks Yarn Company’s 14th anniversary - where the theme is Roller Derby. Nicole of Hue Loco developed the fantastic Lady MacDeath color for them and you can buy the set here which comes with a roller skate stitch marker!

The Perfect Blend MKAL is now over. When you buy the pattern, it is still in “Clue” form but this will revert to a single pattern after Clue 7 (the surprise clue that is for leftover yarn and unrelated to the shawl) is released in September. When? Well, that is part of the mystery! So, if you wish to knit it, you will have to download it one cl...

Join the KAL! May 1 - June 30 in the Casapinka Group - don’t worry about joining up late because it’s a fast project (and great for beginners).

The Pop Flower Hat is inspired by the sixties graphic flower designs, which I just adore. The cashmere blocks out into the softest hat you will ever own. Add a pom pom and you have a complete outfit (ok, you still need to wear clothes). My pom pom is from Toft.

This is for intermediate knitters! It is a bit more complex than most of my patterns and requires some special stitches. There are 15 sections plus borders on either end. Each section is inspired by something related to spring, from blooming trees, to spring rain. There are also dot stitches, lace, flowers, butterflies, thistle, lettuce and cat...

Graphica is a super fun top down, “graphic” pullover that is a collaboration with Dragonfly Fibers for Vogue Knitting Live this weekend. It starts with some fun loop-de-loops and transitions into some graphic botanicals. Each sleeve size then displays slightly different color work (and you can borrow from other sizes if you like). You will be a...

The Ice Bunny Hat was a collaboration with Chelsea Yarns (shown in Chelsea Luxe Pink Peony) for my 24 day giveaway on Instagram.

Please do not favorite this pattern. I do NOT want to be known as the designer who made it to the “Hot Now” page on Ravelry for her free cat leg warmers. I won’t be able to hold my head up at home, so quietly download it and move along. Thank you!

This cowl was designed in the new Miss Babs Yowza Trios which debut in the Miss Babs booth at Rhinebeck this week. They will also be available at SAFF the week after, and online after that. They are gorgeous skeins of DK/light worsted in beautiful colors and I loved doing this quick and portable cowl design.

Wouldn’t it be fun to grow up drawing on walls and painting windows? Well, I’m telling you now: go ahead and paint the windows! Using a very simple technique (just knit the two yarns together - it’s not intarsia) you get to paint twelve differently shaped windows as brightly as you like or with your favorite colors. The entire shawl is quite si...

I have loved Prince since the 1980s and was so sad to learn that he died suddenly. This shawlette has stitches that each commemorate a song by The Artist. I get that this is MAJORLY dorky, but when I was between designs, Michelle from Bo Peep Fine Yarns messaged me suggesting a Prince commemoration. So, when you’re a knitter, you knit, and when...

Who says a baby dress has to be pink? The Violetta Dress is a top, down quick to knit up baby/toddler dress with an optional bow and a little button in back. Seed stitch edges give it a simple but finished look and it would look great in any color of the rainbow.
