Inspired by the beachy Ohio region located along the western shores of Lake Erie, these toe-up shorty socks are simple, laidback, but never boring (Just like the real Vacationland)! Garter stitch stripes across the instep provide a little pop of color and texture and use very little yarn, making them an ideal stash-busting project. And the easi...

Taking inspiration from sunflowers, In Bloom is a three-color circular shawl that plays with pattern and texture. Worked center-out, the shawl starts with a basic Stockinette Stitch and becomes progressively more elaborate, although never complicated, moving to knit/purl patterns, slip stitches, colorwork, and finally ending with a short lace s...

Studio Assistant is a basic bottom-up hat with bold geometric colorwork that plays with positive and negative space. The chevron stripes and triangles featured in the design seem to pop forward or fade into the background, depending on where you focus your eyes. It’s worked in the round, in two colors, and is flattering on both men and women.

In a perfect world, that kind of night would always be dreary and rainy, just to make your couch p...

I was born in the 80s, but you would never know that if you visited me at my job. The building I work in was built in 1971 and not much has changed since. It is the epitome of the 1960/70s idea of sleek, futuristic design- concrete walls, primary-colored plastic furniture, Eero Aarnio’s ball chairs on every floor… It’s a time warp. I love how d...

As a native Long Islander, I have always been obsessed with all things nautical. And although I now find myself in the Midwest, I have recently moved to a house two blocks away from the shores of Lake Erie and a lighthouse. My maritime obsession had been rekindled and it has become my mission to create knits any respectable seaman would be prou...
