Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This pattern is designed for that beautiful variegated skein of yarn that called to you. It found a place in your stash but there just isn’t quite enough for a decent sized project. This project pairs that beautiful skein with a solid yarn. Play with the color combinations until you come up with something that really makes that beautiful skein ...
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This is a very versatile and pretty mitt that is great for running errands on cool days or keeping hands warm in a chilly office. I used Jaggerspun’s Organic Green Line yarn in a sport weight. It is very soft yet has great stitch definition. The hank I used had 332 yd (100gr) and I could get two pairs of mitts from it.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
The instructions for this hat are written out. The cruller cable band is knit then sewn or grafted together, then stitches are picked up and knit in the round to complete the project.The cables in this hat are not difficult. I did not add a tassel or pompom but you certainly could if you wanted.

The center honeycomb panel is framed by a twisted rib. It gives a lot of texture and depth to the colorful Peace Fleece yarn. This pattern repeats every twelve rows....
Knitting: Scarf
This is a scarf was designed for a friend who loves cables and seed stitch (and the color blue). The result combines a center twisted cable flanked by twisted stitches and braids with a seed stitch border. My original idea had the cables as multiples of 2 stitches, but I beefed them up to multiples of three after a test swatch was done. Now the...
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf is comprised of a plaited cable flanked by twists. The dense braid makes for a very warm winter scarf. The cables are done every 4 rows. They are not complicated and the pattern is easily memorized. A simple cable pattern with dramatic effects. 2 skeins of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride worsted weight yarn will yield a scarf that is about ...
