Knitting: Slippers
Snuggly, adorable, and can stand up for themselves! These are the qualities I need in my slippers (and men…). Such a small commitment, you can make new ones each season! These would also make great gifts for crafty, non-knitting friends who are brave enough to give felting a whirl!
Knitting: Pullover
This is a fun little pullover indeed! It works up quite quickly, due to nice thick yarn and short sleeves. The front and back panels of the pullover are worked flat to enable intarsia work on the front if desired. The work is then seamed at the shoulders and sides and the remainder of the garment is worked in the round. This decreases awkward s...

Knitting: Socks - Other
Sometimes all I need is just a teeny bit of a sock down in the toe of my shoes to prevent blisters. Some shoes are backless or super strappy around the heel, making it impossible to wear a full sock to keep you feet cushioned. That’s where these sneaky little socks shine! They really won’t stay on your feet without shoes on, though!

Knitting: Cardigan
I designed this is a fantastic cardigan pattern to use minimal amounts of sock weight yarn. The cardigan is meant to fit snug on the arms, and flow in a somewhat mermaid-tail way to the back. It is not intended to be able to close over your bust, just to cover your arm and then stay out of your way!
