Knitting: Beanie, Toque
What fun! A fast knit with easy ribbing and simple patterning, this is a great unisex hat pattern. Dress it up or down with your yarn choices – happy with a rustic farm yarn, it’s also pretty snazzy with some soft fuzzy and sparkly yarns. The ribbing gives it a great fit – not too tight and not too loose. It’s also completely reversible and can...
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Begun as a reflection on navigating the peaks and valleys of life (yet again) and married to a quest to develop something different with self-striping yarn…..these socks are a combination of the things I like best about knitting – a project where the yarn does the work for you and the pattern (although interesting) is super simple and easy to r...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Balance is the longest day of the year making up for the short days of winter, and here in Vermont the June nights are short but very sweet….long lazy twilight, porch sitting, and a million fireflies. Maybe a pretty shawl to wrap around your shoulders while you’re watching them….this pattern draws its inspiration from the sun and its rays in th...
Knitting: Cowl
Watching….waiting…..for Spring to come. A time-honored tradition in Vermont and other northern places….first the snow melts, then the mud comes and the sap starts running, and finally – the flowers come. Tulips are often the first batch of color, along with the daffodils, that we’ve seen on the ground plane for months. As much as we want it to ...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Politics aside, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is heartbreaking and the damage to the people, buildings, and infrastructure overwhelming. Like many, it’s hard to go about your everyday hum-drum life without feeling exceedingly grateful for that normality – and it’s impossible to comprehend having that turned upside down. Creating this patte...

Knitting: Sleeveless Top
In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. There’s a special quality to the light, no matter where you are, but particularly so at the beach – it can be a little cooler and sometimes you need an extra layer…so...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Oh Summer. So beautiful, so short. Peonies are not the first flowers of summer but they feel like the true representatives of the utter luxury and abandon of the season – over-sized and flip-flopping all over your yard.….

Take your pick between simple stockinette or the most complex of patterns and tailor this cowl to your own personal preferences.

This sock pattern is great for someone who is interested in learning how to knit socks. By using worsted weight yarn, you can more easily see the stitches and the socks knit up much faster than traditional sock yarns, but the pattern incorporates all of the skills that you will need for making other cuff-down socks in the future!
