This pattern, along with ten other Washington-inspired designs, can be found in issue eight of Nomadic Knits, which is available now.

These unisex mitts are named for Luray Caverns in the Shenandoah Valley and were inspired by cave formations of stalactites and stalagmites. I can see both of those features in the stitch pattern I “unvented.”

This crescent shawl was inspired by a family name. When researching our family tree, I found that the translation for Heitkamper

These elbow length mitts were loosely inspired by Ally Sheedy’s character in “The Breakfast Club”. Allison was the shy one in the group who hid away under her coat. She was also the one I related to the most when the movie was released in 1985.

The lace pattern on these cuff-down socks can be viewed as hearts or leaves, depending on your preference!

Named for my favorite John Prine song, these socks are an easy toe-up sock pattern with a Strong Heel. I prefer this heel to a standard short row heel because it allows room for my high arches. The other benefit is that the heel turn is akin to that of a flap heel sock except that there is no heel flap or picking up stitches. The pattern is wri...

This pattern was inspired by Molly Ringwald’s character in The Breakfast Club. The diamond panel is meant to represent the earring Claire gives John at the end of the movie.

“Andie at Prom” is based on Molly Ringwald’s character in “Pretty in Pink”. It is the first in my brat pack series of patterns, all based on the John Hughes films of the 80s.

This shawl design is based on my favorite poem and is my homage to Poe. The lace pattern is a study in negative space and motion. The solid rectangles represent caskets and the decreases flow in different directions to give the piece the feel of an angry ocean.

“Shell Belle” is a top down sock, cleverly designed to be both charming to look at and easy to knit. These socks were

Gauge:

Lacy and delicate in appearance, but easy to knit. Good beginner lace project for someone comfortable with knitting in the round.

Easy, fun knit with an afterthought heel. Knit in super cushy soft yarn.

Very stretchy fabric. Pattern encorporates ribbed rounds throughout. If knit to gauge, yarn called for will yield two pairs of mitts.

Named these after my Aunt Teresa who is forever young. Also, I was a teenager in the ’80s and still think legwarmers are cool.

Cute hat with slipped stitch detail. The brim is worked in stockinette then folded over to the inside and sewn up.

Very textural design. Wear them on autumn walks through the woods.

These mitts are loosely inspired by Tolkien. In “The Lord of the Rings”, the Entwives have gone, likely never to return. Tree and leaf related patterns always make me think of the sad disappearance of the Entwives. So, this is my way of reviving one, or two.

One piece pumpkin design. Knit in the round with no seams. Elegant little toy. Could be used as a pin cushion.

Very simple lace pattern knit in the round. Suitable for a beginner.
