Knitting: Cowl
In the woods west of Concord, Massachusetts, in the fall of 1851, Henry David Thoreau discovered an unusual fern – the only fern species in New England that twines like a vine.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
My original intention was to see how the Vanilla Beanie Beanie pattern worked up in worsted weight yarn and ended up writing it as a separate pattern. I knit the body of the hat an inch shorter than the VBB and redesigned the crown decreases. It’s considerably less slouchy.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This hat is inspired by my Vanilla Latte Sock pattern. In other words, it’s about as easy as it gets and the primary pattern stitch is a broken rib.
