A note from the designer…

A Decade of Patterns - The Canon Years

In 2019 I was requested to design some knitted items for men as it was pointed out to me that the knitting market is very oversaturated with women’s designs. So, I created the Pounding the Pavement Winter Cowl. It was extremely important to my customers that I design something with a maculine texture… AKA no lace! So I started using variations of the rib stitch. I do have a few other easy patterns for men that are available using these variations.

In early fall of 2024 I was asked to make winter accessory sets… hats and scarves, cowls and mittens etc. So the Pounding the Pavement Winter Hat came into existence as a companion piece to my cowl. This beautiful matching set is very classic in appearance and hopefully will be a popular go to design for years to come.
