Knitting: Purse / Handbag
I had a lot of fun designing this pattern. I loved finally being able to use the Trig pounded into my head years ago. Once I realized with this pattern that you’re knitting along the Hypotenuse, I knew what I had to call it.

Knitting: Scarf
I designed this pattern because I hate cutting and rejoining yarns to do colorwork, and I dislike scarves with a “right” side. This scarf is equally pretty from either side, and the only cutting you do is when the project is finished.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
I wanted to make an interesting Fair Isle hat and while deciding on a pattern, decided to do a celtic knot of sorts. Hence the Fair Isle hat in the style of the “Green Isle.”

Knitting: Cup / Mug
This is a cute, quick pattern for a cozy with 2 I-cord handles. The two handles side by side give the cozy more stability so that you can, if you wanted pick it up by the handles. It’s a good last minute gift and simple to knit; the only thing that makes it not ‘dead easy’ is that you have to knit it in the round.

Crochet: Bag - Other
This is a great “Night Before” project, as it usually takes less than an hour from start to finish. The size of the pouch as I designed it works perfectly as a money pouch, but it also holds my cell phone and camera beautifully.
