Crochet: Purse / Handbag, Wristlet
I’ve always loved this bag but there was no pattern. This is my clumsy attempt at one. It doesn’t look as nice, but it’s a start.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I designed this for the Fiber Factor, challenge 3, Blank Slate. You were to design anything using Hikoo’s Kenzie yarn in a tan color. I didn’t want to buy yarn when I have so much in my stash so I used Cascade 220 Superwash instead.
Knitting: Vest
I designed this for the Fiber Factor’s second challenge to “knit inside the box.” They asked for a boxy sweater that used color! But since I am not a real contestant, I’m buying my own yarn, and the finished object is mine to keep, I decided I could bend the rules by making a vest instead!
Knitting: Tote
This was designed as part of The Fiber Factor’s challenge to “Knit your life.” I’ve chosen colorwork, my favorite technique; a bag, which a knitter always needs; and a kaleidoscope of color to represent my husband and 5 kids.
Knitting: Scarf
The Lorax is really popular around here and well, when your mother’s a knitter then you can have a real thneed of your own!
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is an adult-sized version of my baby sized Celtic Knot Work Hat. I can’t take credit for this pattern either. :) Raveler justmichelle expanded the smaller chart so that it would be tall enough to cover an adult sized head. I simply plugged it in to a standard hat pattern.
Knitting: Cardigan
Neville’s Deathly Hallows pt 2 sweater is truly epic. I knit one up for my husband and wrote up excessive pattern notes along the way. With the help of the Knitter’s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, I have a pattern for others to use.
Crochet: Toys and Hobbies - Other
I made a crochet pattern for throwing stars based on this knitted pattern.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
These are vague instructions for a hat. My main goal is to get the braid pattern “out there” for others to use. I’ve put it on kilt hose cuffs and a knitted bag. I’d love to see what other things people use it for!
Knitting: Necktie, Cuffs
This pattern is for a lace jabot and matching cuffs. The lace is charted (no written directions) but very simple. You can substitute your own lace pattern if you wish.
