Tipsy is so much fun to knit, you may not be able to stop at one! Blending 2 solids and a variegated together with a variety of stitches, this Cowl/Capelet is sure to please. Tipsy can be worn in a virtually unlimited number of ways --- just a few are pictured --- I am sure you can style it in a way I haven’t dreamed up yet!

S, (M, L, XL) to fit bust 32-34”, (36 – 38”, 40 – 42”, 44 – 46”, 48-50”)

Fling is a flirty little spring shawl to throw around your shoulders for a pop of color! It is worked lengthwise from the top to the ruffle edge. F-U-N!

Full Circle has been in the works for quite some time … Many Thanks to Kathy Dean for helping to wrap it up! I have always wanted to knit and wear a shrug / bolero and just haven’t found one that fits me well. Full Circle is made to fit your back and then you can make the fronts / edging as long as you want. Have fun with choosing your colors!

The “Franklin” shawl is worked from the center back neck to the point. 2 Fibers dyed in the same color way create a lovely effect. Thank you Virginia!

“Pure” is a simple hemmed vest with a twisted rib pattern on the bodice. When blocked, this rib does not draw in, but adds some flattering vertical definition to the top, creating an updated classic look. Happy Knitting!

“Directions” is worked in two pieces. Simple garter stitch stripes in contrasting colors create a flattering and fun-to-knit vest. Refer to schematic on the last page for assistance with direction of knitting. In case you’re wondering, Size 38 was added with thanks to Laura Bryant of Prism Yarns. Happy Knitting!

This Topper is worked in one piece from cuff to cuff. Linen Stitch blocks are staggered on a background of Stockinette Stitch to create a subtle flowing fabric.

Duet is worked from point to point, first with Color A increasing to 116 sts, then with both Color A and Color B using fair isle techniques, and finally with Color B decreasing to the other point.

“Frolic” is worked in 2 pieces with simple flutter capped sleeves and an icord neckband added at the end. Reversed color work on the back makes for a playful and lightweight summer tee…Happy Knitting!

Rita is worked from end to end and overall is an asymmetrical Triangular shape. The elongated stitch sections provide a bit of shaping to allow the shawl to remain comfortably on the shoulders when worn. Rita can be worn and accessorized in a number of ways…think Summer Fun!

Get ready for FUN! Each piece of this cheery cardi uses a different color work technique. You will never be bored working on this project! Colorplay fits best with 2 - 4” of positive ease so that there is a little room when closed. Will be working on finding a model…sooooo much better on a person and in person!

Vantina is a lightweight spring to summer linen vest with simple styling in the front and an exciting lace and cable pattern on the back. Wow ‘em wherever you go!

Baby Stripes is a fun use of color for the non-traditional baby :) Try using bold colors to match the nursery (or the family room) I must apologize for the lack of a cute baby for the pictures :)

“Steamer” is worked in the round from the waistband to the hem. Classically simple styling can be adorned as much or as little as desired. Measure the widest part of your hips and add 2-4” to find the size you should make. The original skirt included a 20”W X 15”L rectangular piece of wet-felted “art” attached to watch face buttons at the waist...

Endeavor is a cowled shirttail hem tunic made in two pieces with a cozy alpaca blend (no growing!) Worked using a slightly larger needle than that called for on the ballband, this flattering garment has plenty of drape. Slight Aline shaping gives us a little room if needed :)

A quick little cowl with a zigzag lace pattern - long enough to wear doubled… The perfect use for a single skein of beautiful hand-dyed fingering weight yarn (stash buster)!!!

Exchecker is worked in two rectangles sewn together simply for a dramatic result. The tunic shape is flattering to most body types and is best worn with 6-8” of positive ease. This is a quick knit - great for casual and dressy occasions! The yarn gives the garment a wonderful weighty drape that does not grow!

Lineage was inspired by my college girl model :) A comfy and lightweight (but warm) tunic length sweater, “Lineage” is sure to please! The open collar can easily be changed to a crew or turtleneck as desired.

Glitzy, cozy alpaca! Cowl requires 2 skeins each of 2 color ways … fun, fun, fun!

Swinging and fun to wear, I initially designed this pattern for a gorgeous hand-dyed silk made by Greg at Yummi Yarns in Burnsville, NC. Alas, Greg was not able to get the yarn base again so I made it out of SWTC’s Terra. Perfect for any sport to DK weight yarn (with a touch of silk for drape :)), this tee can be worn solo or over another top. ...

Two patterns in one for twice the fun!!! Traverse instructions include variations for both a wrap and an oversized cowl. Use 2 skeins each of two different variegated colors and 1 skein each of two different solid. Get ready to explore your color creativity!!!

Mayfair Mi(s are the perfect quick project. Cozy but not too hot -­‐ make these mitts out of approximately 100 (110) yards of each of 2 colors. I really recommend using circulars (big fan of magic loop) for fair isle but if you are an expert with dpns, go for it!

Perfect for social knitting environments, Solo was originally worked up with the gorgeous Interlacements Yarns “Irish Jig”. Because the wrap is worked from point to point lengthwise, you can use any fiber / weight yarn you desire and decide how wide you want it when you get there! :) Have fun!

Theory is worked from end to end and overall is a rectangular shape. There is a bit of short row shaping at the neck to allow the shawl to comfortably wrap when worn. You can tie the tails in the front as pictured if you like :)

The drape of The Rendezvous Cowl is fantastic. Worked in 5 colors of laceweight yarn, there is a lot of versatility to this cowl. Try pinning it up instead of wrapping twice or even wear in a single loop as a “shawl” - have fun with the colors - you will be complimented!

Cambria is a light and easy to wear triangular shawlette. It was designed for Done Roving Stepping Out Wool crepe yarn but would be great in any laceweight (600 yards) or fingering weight (800 yards - go up to US 5). Have fun!

Fast to knit and awesome to wear, Mariah drapes best at 2 - 4” of positive ease. Knit at a loose gauge, the yarn does all the work… Betcha can’t make just one!

Light and Airy for summer - use any two DK weight yarns (about 100 yards of each) to create this textured summer scarf - ENJOY!

Fringe Party uses 100 yards or 4 different yarns … great stash buster … be creative! I like to use a variegated, a fuzzy, a sparkly and a ribbon-type yarn or railroad but just about anything goes! Scarf can be made in both garter stitch or stockinette. Have Fun!

Fabulous Accessory!!! Don’t be scared off by the icord edging - think of it as therapy! You will be noticed :)

Prepare to wow! Fun fun fun to knit and promise you that people will stop you on the street!!! Cuff - to - cuff measurements 47 (51, 55)“ The only difference between reg and tall is the cuff to cuff measurement. The petite size is also shorter so as not to overwhelm little bodies :)

As an alternative (slightly heavier), you can use 3 skeins of Classic Elite Provence with 246 yards of railroad yarn (2 skeins of “Eros” or 3 skeins of “Athena”. Worked tip to tip with short row shaping, this shawl will NOT fall off your shoulders :) Have fun! Pic...

Spirited was an exciting venture for me into mixed fibers, colors and textures - have fun! These are the fibers and yardages I used

I designed these mitts and all who saw them went crazy for them - had to design the hat too! A single skein of each yarn will make either the mitts or the hat. I carried the yarn not being used between stripes - just don’t pull too tight! Have fun mixing and matching the colors and don’t be afraid to substitute other bulky yarns!

Flurry is a quick knit that is fun to make and fun to wear. Cozy but not hot because of the open work and…the sweater does not grow with wearing!!! Enjoy

This great cowl is based on fibonaci sequence and combines the great texture of garter stitch with a simple lace pattern. Very soft, warm and squishy…Enjoy!

Pastiche is a great design to use up sock yarn leftovers and explore your artistic side! For wearing, the scarf is wrapped around twice and the dramatic ruffled end is poked through the keyhole opening at the other end of the scarf.

This generously sized crescent-shaped shawl is a delight to knit (and wear) with the interest of both color and texture / stitch variation. Smitten will be offered as part of a kit at both Rhinebeck and SAFF in the Gale’s Art Booth. Gale has lovingly dyed a gorgeous merino / silk blend fingering/sock weight yarn in 6 or 7 different colorway com...

Originally Knit using Dargonfly Fibers “Traveller” in Fresh Olive…Also great with Berroco Boboli - just get gauge!!!

This is a fun and quick knit that can be knit using almost any DK to worsted weight yarn. Cotton and ribbon yarns are wonderful!!! Have fun experimenting with your stash!

1 skein of each yarn except COPA (2) COPA is not listed in the RAV database - it is a smooth cord yarn.

2 Versions

Have tried this shawl cardigan on MANY body shapes in the sizes noted - looks great on them all and may fit a little larger frame

Any railroad novelty yarn would work with this (not too thick)

The S/M took nearly all of 2 skeins … you may want to purchase an additional skein just to be sure…
