It features colorwork in traditional Fair Isle motifs with only two colors worked at the same time, with very short floats. Campion’s wide ribbing is nice...

These mittens, perfect for chilly winter months, feature colorwork motifs that are relatively simple yet engaging, for new and experienced knitters alike.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl is a variation on a crescent-shaped shawl. Worked in three main sections, Rrhiza begins at the top with a garter tab cast-on and garter stitch section, then transitions to a lovely textured stitch section, and culminates in a two-color mosaic pattern (one color is worked at a time, which means no carrying yarns). The picot bind-off c...
Knitting: Scarf
This cozy scarf features a stitch motif often referred to as Berry in a Box, a relatively simple bobbly texture that is easily achieved through knits, purls, yarn overs, and decreases. The ends of the scarf are punctuated with whimsical pom poms in a variety of colors…such a fun way to use up the leftover odds and ends in your knitting basket!

Knitting: Pullover
MARYANNA is a garden-inspired sweater that is knit seamlessly on circular needles from the top down. The yoke features colorwork in a folksy floral motif.
