The Four Caskets is a design created in homage to Diana Wynne Jones’ book “A Tale of Time City.” The four caskets in the story were made of lead, iron, silver, and gold.

Deans is a textured washcloth design. Takes less than one full skein of Rowan Denim.

Radio Liberty is the crescent version of Radio Free Europe. Choose one skein of high-contrast yarn for the Static (upper) section and one skein of solid, or semisolid, for the Waves (ruffle) section. A much larger needle is used for these stitch patterns (either #7 or #8 depending on your drape preference).

Radio Free Europe is a split-circle shawl designed to evoke static and waves. 500g of sock yarn is required for the project.

All errata have been worked out and corrected as of 11/1/15. Current (correct) version of the pattern shows a picture in “Spicewood” (orange/yellow). Previous versions show a picture in “Filigree” (yellow/green). Head model is smaller than an adult head; both these hats fit snugly on me. To make it slouchier, add 1 row in each textured section ...

A quick and easy sock yarn cuff.

This more-than-a-full-circle cape fits everyone and can be knit longer if so desired.

A split-circle shawlette/capelet worked with two colors of sportweight yarn. Gauge is not crucial. Finished length is about 15”.

A split-circle shawl or cape worked in shortrows for a swingy, dramatic look. Can be worked in one solid color, or two colors (MC for the wedges and CC for the separator stripes) or different colors throughout the wedges, keeping the separator stripes the same throughout. Knit it shorter to make a platter collar. Really, anything goes!

A very basic pattern to create a meshy, openwork piece. Written for shawl or scarf but can be adapted to almost any kind of garment that relies on the square or rectangle shape.

A striped pullover with drop shoulders. Worked with three yarns of your choice, an MC (here shown in navy), a CC (shown in wine), and a trim (also wine). Yardage is about 1000 of MC, 800 of CC, and 100 for trims.

This is a muff knit in one piece and then stuffed with layer(s) of batting. It’s super cushy and can double as a pillow! You will also need 3 yards of double-faced ribbon, 3/8”, to complete the look. Techniques for knitting are stockinette in the round, seed stitch, and ribbing. A crocheted chain is used to make the loops for the ribbon.

This is a sideways-knit (flat) long, ruffled, fingerless glove. Techniques include ribbing, cable cast-on, short rows, picking up stitches, seaming, picot bind-off (instructions given in pattern).

This is a really simple pattern, basically a knitted tube with a row of eyelets for the drawstring. Instructions are included for calculating the number of stitches you’ll need. Great hat for ponytail wearers!

I feel these are appropriate for Sacharissa, because they are practical enough to allow her to take notes in the cold; they are made of luxurious yarn; and they have a hint of sauciness from the corset tie.

A double-knitted scarf with Tiffany Aching’s “Land Under Wave” design (a Discworld reference).

A beginner’s double-knitting scarf using the soft yarn and wild colors of the Zauberballs. Other yarns can also be used.

This shrug takes 400 grams of sock yarn doubled on size 5 needles. Great for stashbusting!

An easy shrug that can be made with any combo of yarns, the fuzzier the better!

This was a bulky vest pattern originally and I added on the sleeves later. If I were doing it again I’d shorten the sleeves somewhat. Also this is an old pattern and I’m not sure Magnum is still available, but any super bulky yarn will do nicely.

This hat can be knit with any yarn & needle combo that gives 4 stitches to the inch. The pictured yarn was a Flammgora yarn which was, I think, angora blended with lambswool. I can’t find web info for Flammgora any more, so I assume this yarn is no longer in production.

This hat is a great way to use up stash oddballs. Two examples are shown: with one pigtail, and with three pigtails. The hat can also be made with no pigtails.

Knit with a variety of old furry novelty yarns in my stash. Feels & looks great, nice to snuggle into, but doesn’t do much for warmth!

Designed long before the advent of gradient yarns.
