Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Inspired by our love for all things fantastic and magical, the branches reach across the legs joining the gently cabled trunks that stretch down to your toes. The mirror image effect forms the robust Tree of Erised, a tree you can only see with the magic of the mirrored charts.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Whiskey Mitts are my nod to one of my favorite television programs, Outlander. These mitts bring to mind both the characters of the show and their beloved whiskey.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
This pattern takes its name from my favorite citrus fruit, the grapefruit. I prefer its French name though, it just screams juicy and delicious; pamplemousse! This sock is full of juicy cables and while it looks complicated, there are actually a number of “rest” rows in which no cabling is done.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
I often find myself in awe of the architectural feats of generations past. Chateau du la Rochepot is a 13th century medieval castle in France that I found truly fascinating. Perhaps its most striking feature is its beautifully tiled roof, from which I drew my inspiration.

Knitting: Beret, Tam
This hat was inspired by the fictional valley of Withywindle in Eriador, Middle Earth. The winding river that shares its name with the valley moves through the roots of the great trees on the banks much like these cables ebb and flow through this hat.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
Part of my L.M. Montgomery inspired series of patterns. Feminine but practical, these mittens are an ode to kindred spirits and rose leaf complexions.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These socks were inspired by my daughter’s love of princesses and the beautiful gothic arches of some of her favorite royal castles. (There is even a heart hidden amongst the arches.)
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
These heavily cabled socks are an ode to my sister. I tried to capture the flowing lines of the Art Nouveau style which she loves within the Celtic style cabling that is representative of our Irish heritage.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
