This is an easy, textured, beginner friendly triangle shaped shawl, started from the top. It features a very easy pattern repeat, which means that the shawl can be made any size, using any yarn, needles, and gauge. Because of the texture, it is also a great unisex design.

These beautiful, lace, toe up socks can be made with any sock weight yarn - I used Knit Picks Essential Multi, a fingering weight, wool and nylon yarn, and size 1 double pointed needles.

Jupiter Storm Socks is the next in my series of socks designed during one storm or another. In my area, we lose power every time it rains hard, so I sit and doodle and draft out a pair of socks, and when the power comes back on, the pattern gets written up and knitted!

Named after my grandfather, this is a simple knit and purl pattern, made in the round, that comes in two sizes.

Running Railroads Wrap pattern is a bottom up wrap design. There are two different styles: a more traditional, triangle shaped wrap, or a long, skinny, scarf style.

This is a simple little top, sized to fit your little one’s 18” doll such as American Girl Dolls. My doll seen here was a generic 18” doll, found in a catalog, and has the same proportions as the AGD (and seems to be a perfect match for the doll sold at Michael’s).

An easy crocheted bag, designed to use up all your scraps and odds and ends of yarn. Once again, I couldn’t come up with a name for this tote, so I googled “scrap” and one of the things that popped up was the word “decommission” and hence, the decommissioned tote was named… a way to use up your stash!

It was while swatching for another project that the idea for this shawl was born. With simple stitches, an asymmetrical shape, and an edging of petal-like points, the Snowdrop Shawl proves that a project doesn’t have to be complicated to be a knockout.

This is the knit version of my “Ruckus Scarf”. The name “Ruckus” comes from googling the term “ruffle”.

My husband and I absolutely love going to Maine, whether for a day trip, a camping trip, or a weekend getaway. Maine is known as the “Pinecone State” and so, I was inspired to make a pinecone shawl. The body of the shawl is very easy and fun to crochet. The directions for the border look long and complicated, but just take it one step at a time...

When beginning to swatch for my latest shawl design, I wanted something simple that would showcase a beautiful skein of yarn - something that was easy, looked beautiful, but was still interesting to make - and of course, I wanted my traditional “any weight, any gauge” style. I think this design fits the bill nicely. I used Knit Picks Swish Tona...

Why the name Forget the Scarf, when it’s clearly a scarf pattern?
