My work focuses on creating detailed and beautiful accessory patterns. I tend to explore slightly unorthodox elements in knitting; be it shaping, color combinations or unusual themes.

I have written two books on knitting both of which are available at Local Yarn Stores and through Amazon Mosaic & Lace Knits and Big Yarn, Beautiful Lace Knits.

Keeping things fun is important but I also make sure that the fun doesn’t get in the way of the knitter ending up with a finished object that they love.

If you want to hear more about my designs, watch technique tutorials, or listen to my thoughts on knitting and design please check out my YouTube channel Watch Barbara Knit where I post knitting videos weekly.

I was interviewed on the blog “How to become a Professional Knitter”, if you would like to know more about my thought processes check it out here.

All of my patterns are fully tech edited. If you find any problems or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to send me an email to the address listed on the front page of every pattern.
