I am retiring from knit design due to progressive arthritis. Although I will no longer provide pattern support to my patterns that are now free, my patterns are edited and most have been test knit.

My textured stripes and garter cowl was designed for String’s Attached and Phydeaux for the 2017 I-75 Yarn Crawl and is now released for widespread enjoyment. It is an updated fan pattern, in-the round with mini-skeins. Read the story of Piqua in the pattern pdf.

Approximately 78 yds/70 m of fingering weight yarn in each of 5 colors.
