This Cowl/Shawl was designed for the James River Yarn Crawl 2024.

Frosted Window Pane was designed to use a Sock Set plus a coordinating Skein. We have all fallen for the gorgeous Sock Sets out there, even if we don’t knit socks! Now you have another way to use them. I wanted to create something that kept you interested but could still be completed while watching TV and relaxing. Plus, at the end there is a f...

My husband wanted a new knit Hat and saw one out in town he liked. I of course could not let him purchase one! I came up with this one inspired by the one he liked. It is a great base Pattern that can be easily adjusted for other sizes. And can be embellished with pom poms if you wish. It also features a nice long Brim to ensure your ears are c...

~You are receiving BOTH the Cowl & Hat Pattern~

Chivalry is the perfect, chunky Shawl for cooler times. Stylish, fashionable, and timeless, three perfect terms for this Shawl. The Pattern Repeat is surprisingly easy to memorize. Chivalry is also perfect for using up all of your yarn, as the Pattern does not change. Just keep repeating until you have enough left to Bind Off.

Takara-treasure, when you create this Shawl of your very own, or to gift to someone special, I hope you think of it as its very own treasure. Little bits, edges, frilly things here and there make for an interesting knit that can be made out of just about any two colors. I do recommend higher contrast, but it is not necessary. I have listed stit...

There are many days I wish there was a Guided Path for life, a correct way to go. So many days go by that confuse us with what is going on in the world around us. All we can do is be the best people we can be and take the path that is best for us at those times.

The name of one of my Samples colors inspired the textures stitches. “Rusty Gear” it made me think of a rusty machine part that someone brushed off and turned into a beautiful piece of artwork. Sometimes when you find certain colors of yarn, the design just falls into place and this is one of those cases! I just adore the retro feel to these co...

My favorite part of Spring is watching my ground to see the new growth peeking through. I wanted to design something that showcased the Accent Colors “peeking” around various parts of this Shawl just like Springtime. This is the absolute perfect Shawl for mindless knitting with the splash of changing of colors to change it up when you need it. ...

Visit The Golden Purls to pick up some Golden Girls inspired yarn for your Cursed project!

This design was an instant blend of seeing the yarn and the design flew onto a notepad. As I worked up the initial piece, and my testers worked up theirs, countless other color options came to light. Options, options, options is the name of the game here. If you have heavy main skeins there is an option for you, if you are worried about running...

I designed this Hat/Mitt Set to coordinate with my Honesty Shawl. I went back to Emma’s Yarns and picked up their Simply Spectacular DK for these. They carry Simply Spectacular Smalls which are perfect for adding smaller accents of colors to larger, the amount used is listed for each in the Pattern and below. I chose a folded Brim/Cuffs so ther...

I had this Shawl on my mind to use with Sock Sets that have extra minis or a Main Skein and some remnants. The curve of this shawl and the slipped pattern remind me of a curvy stone walkway into a secret garden. There is plenty of easy going knitting with some punches of a neat pattern in between. Topped off with Picot Edges for the Bind Off to...

They say honesty is the best policy, being honest with yourself is something I often need reminding of. Stay honest to who you are, what you believe, and what you really want out of your life. The design idea for this Shawl came when I received my 10K Club pre-sale email from Eat Sleep Knit (if you don’t know what I am talking about GO, run che...

With this Shawl I wanted to take the traditional triangle shape and work some additional details in the opposite direction off of a side. It is a lot easier than it sounds! And it is perfect for using up small amounts or tiny amounts of leftovers. The main body pattern is very easy to memorize and all of the edges are super clean. The finished ...

For me the Kitchen is where the heart of our home is. This Shawl/Wrap was designed to showcase a mini set that The Golden Purls dyed up in ode to the kitchen table cloths used on The Golden Girls. Sometimes your best conversations will be around the kitchen table eating cheesecake! You could easily use one Accent Color instead of 6, simply work...

-I wanted to create a Wrap/Shawl that was suitable for both warmer weather and cooler weather, also something knit on the bias. This is a Pattern that has enough color changes that still keep your attention, but be a perfect mindless knitting project. I also wanted to highlight the Mohair in a different way, with it being slipped on top of fing...

“With Love and Laughter” -Estelle Getty. This quote is found on Estelle’s Headstone. It has always stuck with me as the perfect way to sum up her life, and her life on screen too. She never cared about your skin color, nationality, religion, sexual preference, or anything really. All that mattered is that you were a good person, and if you were...

Picture it Sicily 1922… such a famous phrase spoken by such an iconic legend. Mrs. Sophia Petrillo! The Golden Girls was a show I grew up watching, admiring, and becoming obsessed with. Sophia always stood out to me, both in the show and Estelle Getty in real life. My second daughter is named after her. She is strong, resilient, wise, funny, lo...

Forever Love is worked from the center out to each edge. Colors are totally up to you and approx. amounts used in each section, of each color, are given in the pattern. Light enough for summer and long enough to wrap multiple times in the winter, she can be worn all year. There are very few actual “pattered” rows which make it a very quick knit.

Yet another piece in ode to the beloved Golden Girls. Shady Pines Ma! If you have ever seen the show you know what it is lol. I can see Dorothy wearing this piece and saying that. Its chunky, bold, and timeless, everything that speaks of Dorothy’s style. You can easily work this pattern until you run out of yarn. Wear it with a Shawl Cuff, or w...

Back in St. Olaf… I think I have personally heard this phrase a million times so far in my life. The Golden Girls was a show I grew up watching, admiring, and becoming obsessed with. Rose Nylund is always mystifying us with her St. Olaf stories that make you look at your TV with a cocked head like your cat. Outside of The Golden Girls, Betty Wh...

NEW Medium Size has been added.

HOPE! This is something that no one can ever take away from us. Regardless of anything else, we will always have hope. SPEAK your thoughts, BE who you want to be, and always have HOPE!

When we have a loved one, friend, sibling, or pet we are really close with we tend to “sync” up. Whether it is in thought, actions, or anticipating each other’s next moves. As with the Grocery Girls. I adore their podcast, their relationship, and their ridiculous way of being so, so real. Sometimes we do need to remember to laugh at ourselves, ...

Forever and Again is my contribution to the “fade” movement. I have had these colors together for a long time and finally came up with the perfect way to showcase them. I wanted a long Wrap/Scarf that would be fashionable yet functional.

Little Ivy Blooms is the second Shawlette in my “Little” Series. These are excellent for using up all of your yarn, and can be knit using any weight yarn, any size needles. The pattern is easy enough to memorize, yet not too simple to be boring.

Any weight of yarn may be used for this pattern. The sample shown was knit using size 7 needles and DK weight. You may work this pattern to any size, so it is perfect for using up all of the yarn you have. Regardless of what size needles you use, or weight of yarn, the Pattern will remain the same. You will be working this Shawl from the top Le...

Are you thinking about the cooler weather? Well you should be and I am here to help with your wardrobe! Everyone, and I mean everyone, needs a big statement, every day, go to Shawl for fall. This is a Mystery Knit a Long (MKAL) and will be broken down into 5 Clues. Clue 1 will span 2 weeks and the rest will be weekly. At the end I will compile ...

Little Surfer Girl was born to mimic the waves of Ocean on Virginia Beach. There are 2 files included, a Fingering and a Worsted. There are also several modifications that you can do, such as button holes, or provisonal cast on to make it an infinity style. This piece can also be left unblocked if you like the scrunchy look.

These little beauties are based on the stitch pattern that I came up with for my Elizabeth Kathrynn Sweaters. There are 3 Versions, a solid Main Pattern, one worked in 2 Colors, and one with Color work Sections worked in 3 Colors. These can be split up onto Double Pointed Needles, Magic-looped, or worked (as I did) on 2 Circulars, one or two at...

Easy, peasy! This piece is based on a sweater that I designed for my daughter, Elizabeth. I changed a few things here and there to make it a little more sophisticated than the girls version. This piece is meant to be flowy on the sides so they scallop and rest at your sides. There are modifications you can make based on body type/shape, as well...

Little Surfer Girl is a picture of the waves on Virginia Beach. She flows and crests and flows again. I used MollyGirl Yarns Duet for the samples. Any weight, any yarn will work for this pattern. Just be sure to adjust your needle size. This is a great project to use an entire skein for. She is perfect for Summer wear, just throw her on and go!...

Easy, peasy! I designed this sweater for my daughter, Elizabeth. She was so thrilled that I was designing something just for her! And she even knit a few stitches here and there on it. Back to the sweater, I chose to make 3 sizes avaliable with options to make it bigger past that (use heavier weight yarn or larger needles). There are also “note...

For a little while now there have been several small parts of many patterns that have stuck in my head. I have decided to combine them and put my own spin on them to Meld my own Shawlette together. I have seen so many striped Shawls, but none I have been excited enough about to sit down and knit. Also, I was looking for something that laid a ce...

Immunity is a play on a Dragon Skin stitch pattern that I have expanded to all forms of patterns. I was so excited to see how well this pattern worked up in a Self-Striping yarn! Also it looks great worked in the round. I decided to use the Fish Lips Kiss Heel which is totally worth the purchase (Available here on Ravelry).

Immunity is homage to the Immunity Necklace on Survivor. I was watching the show one night when I sketched out the first snippets of this piece. Once the shape was determined, I realized this is an awesome way to showcase a variegated yarn for the Pattern Sections and an accent color, or two, for the Dragon Skin Sections.

When I sat down with some ideas for this Shawl, I wanted to embrace a new shape to me. I also wanted to design something that would look good in any weigh yarn and any size.

Zombie Prom Socks use the main Pattern Panel from Zombie Prom Shawl. It creates a nice cushy top to your foot and nice stretchy back. This sock is designed Toe Up using my own original Heel Design. If you need to go up a size, I would go up a needle size rather than adding stitches. As written this will make a Woman’s Medium sock, shoe size 7.

Soft Kitty was inspired by the yarn with its name by Inner Yarn Zen. I just fell in love with the colors and tones in the yarn; it needs to be knit up in something that had soft textures. Any variegated yarn will work best for this pattern. There are a few tweaks to this sock, me new stretchy Cast On, super short Gusset, and nice rounded toe. T...

Rain Kissed was designed for the Inner Yarn Zen Spring 2014 Kit. I chose the dropped stitches to show off the gorgeous dye work on the yarn. Perfect for Spring/Summer months to throw over your shoulders with a tshirt or tank top. This piece works up very quickly and looks far more complicated than it actually is.

Lust was designed with versatility in mind. She can be worn a number of ways and will go with any weather any outfit. Lust can be knit in any yarn weight, and one color or more. She knits up quickly and is great for a good traveling project. Also this shawl is written so it is worked basically until you run out of yarn so size is totally up to ...

Ansel was designed with versatility in mind. There are four main ways that she can be worn, over shoulders as well as like a cowl, single or doubled. I think this pattern knits up best in a single-ply to be lighter and airier perfect for any time of year. The size is adjustable, to make it larger simply work more repeats before decreasing. This...

Carol was inspired by her namesake character on The Walking Dead. This just feels like Carol herself would wear it. Super Bulky is so awesome to work with on so so many levels. I whipped up this cowl in about two hours flat. This can be blocked or not it is totally up to you! Also this cowl is reversible personally I love how both sides look. I...

This two color Shawl was my first MKAL, I would have 2 full skeins on hand (you will use slightly less of each but due to different gauges and what not I would have full skeins on hand). I had this pattern sketched out as soon as I saw the yarn in Another Crafty Girls shop. Literally went and drew it all out, and it knit up prettier then I imag...

Journey is a play on a slipped stitch cable that I came up with. The Fingerless version includes a neat flap at the top with accent button to add some pizzazz. These are not too bulky/not too thin and for me are perfect to wear and not get in my way. The main Mitt is worked in the round and the flap is worked flat.

Icy Morning is a very classic, not too complicated, hat or headband. I made this stitch pattern up with the mindset that it will go with anything. This was my first time knitting with bulky weight and boy was it fun! Super soft, cuddly, and quick.

Michonne is an homage to her namesake on The Walking Dead. The character in the show wears similar Mitts which are rugged and comfortable. These are special in that the pattern is mirrored on the back too, and the seed stitch top can be folded over to make true Fingerless Mitts or flipped up to cover the fingers while still allowing you to use ...

Serene was a such a hit as a stitch pattern I took them to a Cowl and Scarf! The Cowl width can be made narrower as well as longer and the Scarf is one width but can be made to whatever length you would like.

Serene was a such a hit as a stitch pattern I took them to a Hat and Headband! The instructions for the Hat include 3 sizes as well as a wider version. The Small size could also be used in a smaller needle for a child as well. The Headband includes a skinny and wide version.

Serene was a such a hit as a stitch pattern I took them to Mittens and Fingerless Mitts! This pattern has instructions for both styles as well as making all aspects of Mitts longer for a bigger size.

Topanga means “where the mountains meet the ocean”. There are strong cables that border a lacey sparkly center of this scarf mimicking mountains and oceans. This scarf was designed as a one skein project for any yarn that will provide a nice drape, anything that has silk or tencel will work best. The beads are optional, but I do recommend them!...

Serene came about when Laura from Inspiration Dyeworks contacted me and wanted a sock pattern that would work with her style of dyeing. She told me a little about what she liked and boom I came up with this little number! I love the fit and the way the different lines run from the top of the sock all the way down the foot. I hope you enjoy knit...

VERSITLE! This pattern is written for any gauge, any weight, and needle size, so basically you cant go wrong. Simply pick your yarn and appropriate needles to go along with that yarn and go. Below are my suggested yardages for each weight of yarn I recommend:

Sachet is a wonderful play on combining cables and twisted stitches. A chain link cable pattern in surrounding a flowing cable in the center which is framed by columns of twisted stitches that travel down the sides of the leg. With such a patterned foot, I worked the pattern out before the toe as to not overpower the sock with pattern.

Holly is a great match of my love for traveling stitches and lace, what can go wrong! The edging is fool proof you cannot knit it too tight, and the spines have a fun little pattern run down them instead of just simple yarn overs. This is written for two colors however it would be fine in one too, or more than two. This shawl can be blocked in ...

Birchwood is a spin off my Anytime socks geared more toward men. It features the same slipped stitch cable as Anytime does, but with arrows and strong lines that would appeal to a man. The sizing is also geared toward a larger foot, if you would like to knit this in a smaller size I would suggest using a lighter fingering weight and going down ...

Time Traveler has been sitting my sketchbook for a while now. I wanted to make a typical traveling stitch sock stretchier, so I tweaked it and here it is! A nice stretchy pattern that twists and travels down your leg to your toe. This is a soothing, relaxing knit that creates just an excellent fit. I used a lighter fingering weight for my sampl...

I incorporated the stitch pattern from my Currents socks into this wonderful Cowl. It comes in two sizes, Small and Infinity; also there are suggestions for thicker yarn as well. The Small size will fit more up around your neck, without being tight, and the Infinity will drape midway down your chest. If you want to make it longer simply add ano...

After completing an awesome pattern featuring slipped stitch cables, I needed to make my spin on them. There are lots of little details about this sock that make it my favorite fitting sock I’ve made to date! I have adjusted the gusset decreases, heel flap rows, and added twisted stitches to the sides of the bottom of the foot.

Have you ever looked at the ripples in the water as they move? That’s where I got the inspiration for this pattern. On my last ferry ride, I found myself starring at the top of the water and thought how pretty it was, so here is my version! I incorporated my new heel as well. I hope you enjoy her, this was one pair of socks I didn’t mind knitti...

I was searching for a new type of cable, since I was terribly bored with plain old cables. So I sat down with a swatch and played until I came up with this little beauty! She fits great on all sides, is pretty, and warm. I hope you enjoy her as much as I did!
