Knitting: Cardigan
This idea came to me while discussing a design with a friend over coffee. I knew I wanted to do a V-neck cardigan, with lace edge and I wanted to refer to the lace pattern on the sleeves. Continuing the pattern up and around the neck was something I’d done before. The idea of incorporating the sleeve lace into the neck was what inspired this pa...

Knitting: Cozy - Other
This was an idea that happened in a heart beat! I wanted to make a wedding gift for a friend, something simple and unique. They are kind of earthy.

I think they are very ...
