Knitting: Poncho
This beginner-friendly poncho is knit as a big rectangle, folded in half, and then seamed at the shoulder using three-needle bind off. Knit on a circular needle, this is made up of only knit stitches, going around and around. At the beginning and end of each round, you simply cut the yarns to make fringe. This edge is reinforced later using a s...
Knitting: Cowl
Who doesn’t love leaves? And with the wonder of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool, Nocturne, or your own fabulous handspun, you can surround yourself in leaves of any color. I love the way Spincycle colors play out, making each leaf slightly different.
Knitting: Pullover
All the Leaves are Brown (or any color of the rainbow) is a top-down circular yoke sweater. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round, making the pattern seamless. The back collar is raised using German short rows, and a video link is included for that technique.
Knitting: Pullover
Have you ever seen the flower Love in a Mist? (Nigella damascene?) It has wonderful petals, bracts, and intense black seeds. This design captures the essence of those wonderful flowers.
Knitting: Pullover
Snow Falling on Conifers is a top-down, circular yoke sweater that is knit in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up and also knit in the round, making this sweater seamless. You can choose to make it full length or cropped; sleeves can also be full length, or any length you choose, from short, to elbow, to three-quarter, to long.
Knitting: Cowl
The Winter Forest Cowl has it all--trees, branches, pine cones, snowflakes. And this is a choose your own adventure-in-the-forest cowl. You can knit any or all of the motifs, in any order you desire. You can make this shorter so it is snug around your neck, or make it long enough to double up for a really cold winter.
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
The Coat of Many Feathers ((with apologies to Dolly Parton) is the perfect three-season jacket: folded cuffs, oversized-collar for snuggling, and pockets to keep your hands warm. And the possibilities for color are endless: think gradient feathers, striped feathers, handspun, faded feathers, using-up-all-your-stash feathers, or even all-the-col...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This sweet little hat starts with a roll brim, using a smaller size needle, and then switches to a larger needle to make the colorwork feathers. The brown version uses Brooklyn Tweed Arbor (DK weight) as the feather outline, and Spincycle Dyed in the Wool (sport weight) for the inside of the feathers. This makes a hat 20 inches in circumference...
