When a storm is on the horizon, the air is thick with anticipation. As the sunlight fades, the winds shift, and the storm reveals itself. In some cases, the storm brings damage and destruction; in other cases, it washes all clean.

Life is an adventure – some days send you “this way,” while others send you “that way.” On particularly busy days, life sends you both “this way” and “that way” – sometimes even before breakfast! These socks are a fun tribute to those days.

Life has its mountains and valleys--its ups and downs. Through it all, the love and support of family (biological or chosen) keeps us strong. The Love You Always wrap is a gift of love and a long-distance hug. It’s a reminder that – no matter what life throws at us – we have love, and that love isn’t going anywhere.

All things in life start small: whether beginning life as a newborn, learning a brand-new skill, or embarking on a new chapter of life entirely. With each small beginning, there is room for big dreams and opportunities to make those dreams come true. This pattern is an homage to both of those things, for there can’t be big dreams without small ...

With their crisp autumn air, crunchy leaves underfoot, warm apple cider, and rows upon rows of craft booths, fall festivals remind us to enjoy days leisurely and with appreciation. Wandering through vendor booths seeing handmade creations restores our minds and hearts, as laughs shared with friends along the way restore our spirits.

When the world’s needs are many and I am feeling depleted, an afternoon of quiet reflection helps make all well again. Those moments of refuge – often accompanied with knitting, a cup of tea, and music – do wonders for the soul.

Once the colors of the late afternoon sky shift to muted hues and the wind begins to nip gently at bare skin, it won’t be long before geese begin their annual flight to warmer climates to wait out the coming winter months. Always on time, geese migrations are one of nature’s signals – signals of cooler days and nights to come, a season that inv...

Throughout the spring and summer months, farmland undergoes transformation: in fields, rows of tiny seedlings grow bit by bit each day until they are full-fledged crops swaying in warm breezes, anchored by strong roots in rich soil. Seen from above, fields can astound with their graceful lines, clear order, and mix of textures and hues. Inspire...

Possibly the most simple and meditative project of all time, this wrap is knit on the bias and is designed for self-striping yarns with long color repeats. Due to its simple shaping and texture, this pattern is easily customizable. Make the wrap longer or shorter by adding or removing rows in groups of 2. Make the wrap deeper or narrower by add...

A cozy accessory, this triangular shawl begins with a few stitches and grows outward in much the same way a tree grows from a narrow trunk to a wide canopy of lush leaves. The body of the shawl is textured, mimicking bark on a tree, while the broad edge includes a swath of lace to serve as leaves. A great way to play with color, I recommend usi...

Sometimes, life calls for a little bit of comfort – something familiar, predictable, and yet still enjoyable to settle into. The rhythmic knit and purl patterning of this sock is just that: a sock knitting version of enjoying mac ‘n’ cheese during a quiet evening on your living room couch.

This asymmetrical triangular shawl is an easy staple accessory. With a generous length from tip to tip, it stays in place on the shoulders when worn traditionally or bandana-style. This pattern is designed to be a meditative knit because it can be easily memorized and would make a great “first beaded knitting” project. The beads represent stars...

An architectural ornament and functional tool, a weathervane is used to show the direction of the wind. For me, this wrap is much the same in a figurative sense: I wear it because it is beautiful but also when I want to remind myself of my own strength. This wrap rests gently around the back of the neck and is best worn draped on each side, sho...

The lace stitch pattern in this piece reminds me of the old wooden-and-wire fence rows that line the farm fields around my childhood home. In the summers, I loved to see the medium and tall prairie grasses and flowers weave their way through the wires, making a perfect and rustic blend of man and nature.

As a child, I spent countless afternoons in our small community’s public pool. Those afternoons were filled with fun, adventure, sunscreen, and salt water taffy from the nearby concession stand. When the pool was especially quiet, I swam to the “deep end.” Diving all the way down to the bottom, I floated along the floor, watching the bubbles fr...

This scarf is the perfect accessory for a warm day with a cool breeze. A slender but practical scarf, the ends will move gently with a spring wind. When I the weather teeters between spring and early summer, this accessory is the perfect closet staple.

A “soft day” is a day in which the weather is misty and sometimes a bit foggy – almost rainy but without falling rain. It’s a day that makes everything in the world seem a bit “softer around the edges” and almost encourages turning inward toward reflection, coziness, and snuggles. I love soft days, the soft days I experienced in Wales inspired ...
