Knitting: Cowl
The inspiration for the Stole My Heart COWL came from seeing an amazing vintage fur stole from the 1930’s. What seems like a simple ribbing pattern at a loose gauge is actually not! In order to mimic the rivets typical on a fur stole, and also achieve a stiff fabric similar to a real stole, I Ianded on an interesting stitch pattern that is actu...
Knitting: Cardigan
Hanging Valley CARDIGAN is named after a distinct mountain feature. A valley that looks as if it’s suspended in the clouds, high in the mountains, where you’ll often find an alpine lake. A relic from the slow process of glacial retreat. The sweater’s motif makes me reminisce of such places and my time spent in the mountains within the Western U...
Knitting: Pullover
The sturdiness of a sock yarn was the perfect choice for this sweater that I know will see a lot of wear. Two versions give you the option to take on basic cable stitches or plain stockinette. Both versions create a classic sweatshirt style garment that will definitely become a staple in your wardrobe. So much so, you might need two! I love the...
Knitting: Cardigan
For the Merle Cardigan I wanted something romantic and luxurious. I was inspired by my love for old books and spending hours reading in great libraries. A drop shoulder cardigan is absolutely a classic, cozy wardrobe staple. By adding extra special details, like the decorative flower bobbles on the sleeves or the faux shoulder seam on the Merle...

Inez CARDIGAN is named after my great-grandmother. My memories of her are associated with magical times when I was a child visiting her in the coastal town of Santa Cruz, California where the beach and the redwoods share space and the quirkiness and culture of the town mesmerized me as a child. On the west coast, having a fashionable handknit t...

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Toni BEANIE is a colorwork hat that plays around with the idea of subtle contrast. I used Brooklyn Tweed’s Tones in the same colorway, but in both an undertone and overtone to create a beautiful and soft colorwork design. Toni BEANIE is easy enough to be your first colorwork project while offering enough engagement to keep experienced knitters ...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The long goodbye SHAWL is an asymmetrical triangle shawl that is split up by garter stitch into sections of interesting textures. The ebb and flow of both mindless and engaging knitting makes for a meditative project. Although the majority of the shawl relies on basic knit and purl stitches, there is a small section of lacework along with secti...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
mountain hi BEANIE is all about SCRAP YARN! It is a faded colorwork hat that is a fun project to get creative with. Stick with a fade, or choose any colors you find in your stash to create something more unique. The motif is repetitive and easy to memorize - a perfect hat if you are a beginner to intermediate knitter looking to try colorwork fo...

Solid BEANIE is a basic knit hat. It is meant to be that staple in your wardrobe. No matter the occasion, this hat is a solid choice to polish off your look whether hiking in the Pacific Northwest Cascades or going out for a night in the city. Having a few of these in different colors is never a bad idea!
