Little Miss Crankypants is a narrow wrap or wide fringed scarf. It is knit in the round (no purling!) using Linen Stitch and what I call a Gradual Ascending Linen Stitch, with the fringe (approximately 8” long) made from dropped stitches.
Knitting: Cape
Hey Nineteen is is a hooded cape with easy lace insets. The back of the hood is shaped with short rows. The cape ties at the neck and can fit a variety of sizes. It’s so named because when I started the project, it was supposed to be the nineteenth pattern that I would have published on Ravelry. While I was working on it I published a hat patte...
Knitting: Beret, Tam, Drawstring Bag

Knitting: Beret, Tam
“Sl-ouch!” is a slouchy hat with a wide, double-thick brim. It’s so named because I knit it while I had a sore shoulder. Call it dedication, or call it a glutton for punishment, but I had to see it through. This is the result! I came up with it while working on my 1 Infinite Loop hat. I devised a new way (at least I’ve never come across it) of ...
Knitting: Poncho
The Basketweave Poncho is perfect for the cold weather. It’s designed to fit almost every shape and is an easy knit. The bottom edge is shaped with short rows, making a gentle curve.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Simple Ridges Shawlette was designed to showcase the beautiful Queensland Kathmandu yarn, although any yarn can be used. No gauge is given since any yarn can be used. There’s no lace, just simple knitting and purling, and basic increases. Because of its shape, the shawl rests on your shoulders without the need for a shawl pin or button. It’s kn...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
“This Is Spinal Wrap” is a shawl/wrap/scarf with the center spine worked first and the ribs worked outward until it’s the desired length. Gauge is really unimportant as it can be worked to the width/length you like.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Rails & Ties is an open and airy wrap worked on oversized needles, and is so named because as I was working it up it reminded me of a railroad track. Plus I really loved the movie Rails & Ties, starring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it. Just have a box of tissues handy. It’s a te...
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf was inspired by fiddlehead ferns. It is knit sideways in an elongated triangle, with the fiddleheads CROCHETED as you go. There is an increase and decrease chart available on Google Docs (linked in pdf pattern) if you need it, but I think the instructions are pretty clear, thanks mostly to my wonderful testers nickersr and Lousquared...
