Crochet: Scrubber
Want a scary-good complexion? Why not wash your face with something cute that will make it a charm, instead of a chore?
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Beret, Tam

This cabled cowl is the perfect match for the Pumpkin Head hat, using the same cable pattern combined with a fold over edge at the top and bottom for a clean finish.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Pumpkin Head is a slouchy cabled hat pattern knit with a flat garter brim. Stitches are picked up to knit the crown. Buttons make it easy to adjust the size, and the pattern also includes instructions for making a two-color version.
Knitting: Boot Cuffs / Toppers
Socks, boots, boot toppers--it’s so hard to find these things for people, ahem, shapely calves.
Knitting: Ankle Sock
This pattern is made to be easily customizeable. It fits a 9”/23cm circumference foot snugly, and can be adapted from the shown ankle sock up to midcalf length. It can be knit on DPNs, a single circular, two circulars, or two at a time with magic loop.
Knitting: Cloche Hat
A classic cloche with a twist! This is a fairly simple stockinette hat until we get to the brim, and then there’s a little bit of shaping and folding to achieve the decorative finish.
Knitting: Chart
I’ve had many requests for illusion alphabets. This particular group of charts is suitable for smaller scale projects. Knit aran weight yarn, the letters will be about 3.5 inches tall.
Crochet: Towel
This is a tutorial/recipe for a hanging kitchen towel. Great for using up scraps of cotton yarn. 1 ball of dish cotton will not only make one of these, but there will be enough left at the end for a washcloth.
Knitting: Towel
A quick and easy tutorial for a knitted hanging dishtowel. A crocheted version of the same pattern is available for free here. Perfect for using up odd ends leftover from wash cloths, one of these towels can easily be whipped up in an hour or less.
Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
A pair of snug fingerless gloves for warmth and light support for those suffering from RSI’s.
Knitting: Cuffs, Fingerless Gloves
This pattern is written for a single size, but includes tips on how to alter it for smaller sizes as necessary.
Knitting: Hats - Other
Though this pattern is written for a doll or infant size, it can be adjusted by going up a needle size. The tightness of the gauge contributes to the cute way the ears curl.
