Knitting: Cowl
When designing this cowl, I wanted to capture the organic look and feel of flowers on the vine - so I avoided more traditional geometric colorwork motifs (other than the border) and worked with elements that would be more unpredictable, but create a more “natural” look. This was a challenge to do in worsted weight yarn - fewer stitches to play ...

Knitting: Cuffs
The beautiful simplicity of these colorwork arm warmers make them easy and practical to wear. Pull them over long-sleeved tees and under coats in winter, shove them up and out of the way when texting, and down again when the steering wheel is cold!

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Originally designed for bulky weight yarn, I have created a worsted weight version of this pattern to show off your favorite special skein of local farm fiber or hand-dyed goodness! Alternating large and small cables wrap around the hat, showing off the strength and softness of this yarn as it slides right along your needles for a quick knit.

Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern is inspired by Two Feathers Fibers in Maine, where Indigenous shepherdess Grace raises Icelandic sheep utilizing regenerative farming practices that are good for the earth and her animals. The result is clean, bright wool with incredible luster - from happy sheep Sage and Stevie, who give this hat its name! Alternating large and sm...
