I love the slow-moving gradient PDS Striata, so I designed the Switchback shawl to make use of the color transitions with directional changes. This modular technique creates a sense of movement of color throughout as if you are heading up a mountain road and down the other side.

Garnet Ghost Kits available here.

This delighfully light and airy hat is as fun to knit as it is to wear. I held a strand of fingering and a strand of lace mohair double, but you can substitute a single strand of DK weight yarn if desired.

I love a repetitive easy to work but complex to the eye project and Purl Onion is just that. The cowl uses two contrasting skeins of fingering weight. I used Iron Horse and Rime as they drapes wonderfully and work beautifully together.

I knit this hat for myself and wore it non-stop until it disappeared. I don’t often get emotional when I lose an accessory because I’m able to knit a replacement quickly and (usually) better since I learn something with each project. But losing this hat stung. It couldn’t be replaced because it was made with a PDS Free Spirit (OOAK) colorway, a...

I originally made this hat because I had a half a skein of sock yarn leftover from a previous project. Little did I know it was to become “the hat” in the fleet of hats I’d knit for my son. He wore it everywhere; outside, inside, to bed at night. He even bargained to wear it in the bath tub. I’ve since knit him a couple more, and because I take...

I think it’s a perfect design for boys and girls. I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I d...

My main inspiration for this pattern stemmed from the need to keep snowflakes off the lenses of my newly prescribed eyeglasses.

Hence the name Off P...
