It features an eagle and arrow motif in stranded knitting, with a geometric medallion on the back, so it can be worn two different ways!

An event horizon is the boundary that marks the outer edge of a black hole. It is the point at which nothing, not even light, can escape. This cowl pattern is an homage to my childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. I was completely obsessed with space when I was younger and spent several years as the president of the Young Astronauts Club, no...

Flaneur, designed in collaboration with Crow and Crescent Yarn, is named after my favorite French word. It denotes a person of leisure who enjoys wandering the streets, soaking in the beauty of their surroundings and contemplating the meaning of life.

Spilled Milk came about in quite an unusual way. I normally know the exact journey I want to take with a pattern, down to the most insignificant detail, but this one required a bit of a detour, as I discovered a fellow designer was doing something similar about a week into the process. I frogged the whole thing, but didn’t really know where to ...

Komorebi is the Japanese word for dappled light that gently filters through the spaces between leaves and their branches. The contrast between sun and shadow is a dance, a romantic and emotional love story that teaches us to appreciate the good as well as the bad things in life, for they are intrinsically connected. One cannot exist without the...

We belong exactly where we ...

We can’t hear it tick, but our bodies have their own clocks, patterns that keep us alive through the regulation of hormones, sleep, temperature, and eating habits.

A simple and meditative infinity scarf, that features an all over herringbone stitch, designed to show off the best variegated yarn in your stash!

Peregrine was named for my favorite bird of prey. These incredible falcons are world travelers and can be seen on almost any continent, migrating across the globe as they deem necessary. As a creature that can also pass between the veil of the living and the dead, they often bring messages to us from the other side. Celtic folklore regards the ...

Cerridwen was designed in collaboration with Enchanted Yarn and is named after the Welsh goddess who shares this name, the keeper of the cauldron, the matron of witches and wizards.

Krueger is inspired by more than just a deep and utter fascination with everyone’s favorite slasher.

Pet Sematary, Tales from the Crypt, Poltergeist, Child’s Play, and The X Files were amongst the earliest selections, but wh...

Alice is designed in collaboration with the incredible Saara of Good Vibes Yarn, and is also the first design for my upcoming book:

Dystopia is an imaginary futuristic environment in which people often lead dehumanized and fearful lives. There is great suffering and injustice, usually in conjunction with some type of apocalypse, whether that be a natural disaster, contagious virus, or brutal warfare. Film and literature have painted countless depictions of what these horrif...

Misfit is designed in collaboration with Misfit Yarns’ incredible neon colorways. I wanted to create something casual, easy to wear, and detailed but not too difficult to knit. I also wanted to embody an amalgamation of both myself and Michele, so that both of our artistic visions were present in the final pattern. Michele allowed me complete c...

When I was young, I think I must have watched The Sandlot hundreds of times, and that is not an exaggeration. To this day, I still know every line of that movie by heart. There is one part in particular that always stood out, a scene where the boys are arguing with their rival team. The ultimate insult, “You play ball like a girl!” is defiantly...

Picnic evokes some of my favorite summertime memories: picking wild berries, finding a beehive dripping with golden honey, plucking dandelion puffs to watch their seeds float through the air, a chance sighting of deer prancing through the forest, delicate vines creeping across trees, a basket overflowing with treasures found during a day full o...

When I was young, my grandfather would take me to the rodeo, and of all the events I hooted and hollered for, barrel racing was my favorite. A horse and rider attempt to gallop a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels, and the fastest time takes the champion prize. In a male dominated industry, this has always been the only event specifically...

Sideshow is a commemoration of my time as a circus performer. For seven years, I danced with fire, flew through the air wrapped up in fabric, belly danced, clowned around, and shimmied my way across a variety of stages in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.

The word Carousel originated during the 12th century, in Europe, and refers to a type of jousting game played by knights on horseback. It was an amusing way for them to practice cavalry skills and involved aiming a large spear through tiny rings, that were wrapped in bright ribbons, and suspended around a training stadium.

Before I could even walk, my parents were always taking me out on the boat to share their love of fishing, diving, and marine life with me. I can remember countless hours swimming with sharks, looking for lobster, learning how to bait hooks, and experiencing a whole new world underneath the water. I haven’t seen my mom and dad for nearly two ye...

Blessed Mabon. The second autumn holiday is a time for gratitude, whether you had a bountiful harvest, a joyous celebration, or an abundance of time for self reflection. Equal hours of night and day restore the balance of the world around us and the world within ourselves.

The Tiny Witch Hat was conjured from a desperate attempt to put together a Halloween costume in less than a day. It measures 4.5 inches from the bottom of the cone to the top and 1.5 inches from the bottom of the cone to the edge of the brim. This project only takes a couple of hours, is meant for using up scrap yarn, and is great for both adul...
