Knitting: Pullover
This fitted pullover is built around a simple moss stitch square motif that highlights the color variation in the yarn. Each piece starts with a square motif, and the rest of the fabric is “filled in” around it, either by working directly from the live stitches of the square, or by using entrelac technique to work perpendicular to it. With this...

Knitting: Beret, Tam
I’m not normally a beret kind of gal; I’m more envious of those who can pull of the look. I just couldn’t resist playing around with short rows to create this color wheel effect, and thus a beret was born.

Knitting: Pullover
This lightweight, shapely pullover is knit in one piece on the bias. This creates diagonal striping around the entire top when using variegated yarn with long colorway sections (meaning each section of color in the yarn lasts of dozens if not hundreds of stitches). As the number of stitches per row increases or decreases, the colored stripes ge...
