The inspiration for this pattern has a bittersweet story. Back in 2018, Dan and I drove from Maryland to Arkansas to pick up two little beagles. We had wanted puppies for years at that point, so they were a dream come true. Of course, we named them after the two hobbits in Lord of the Rings that were always causing some sort of trouble, Pippin ...

This design began as a fun lace top just for myself, but as I worked, I fell in love with it and decided to bring the pattern into the world--with a few tweaks. If you can’t already tell, the name is inspired by the classic “The Lord of the Rings” series. Rivendell is the land of the elves, a safe haven for the weary travelers on their quest to...

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know this, but this past fall my husband and I moved up to New England and bought our dream house! We got to enjoy a colorful autumn and a cozy winter together in our new home. The previous owners of the house left us with a hand-drawn map of the garden they lovingly planted in the front yard,...

Lately I’ve found myself reminiscing on my college days….walking everywhere I needed to go….hanging out with friends every day….being surrounded by books. The Collegiate Cap is a nod to life at university, with its simple stripes (they can be knit in your school colors!) and little details that really set it apart. It’s a very versatile design ...

I recently released my Self Care Shawl pattern, and it was a huge success! So many of you loved it that I decided to create a faded fingering weight version as well. Please note that the shawl construction is exactly the same as the original Self Care Shawl, but this version also includes colorwork instructions for a faded effect. :)

This design features a beautiful chevron lace stitch that reminds me of cute little owls (“chouette” means owl in French)! The pattern may look intimidating, but it’s simple to work and easy to memorize. It has beautiful drape and is breathable, but still cozy, making it the perfect piece to wear as winter slowly transitions to spring. For the ...

As some of you already know, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in the beginning of 2020. While I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life, I definitely hit rock bottom with this new diagnosis. My mental health was in shambles, and it became my number one priority to heal as much as possible. I started taking new medicati...

These hats will make wonderful stock for handmade markets or great...

Nothing is more relaxing than sitting on the back porch with a mug of hot coffee and a simple knitting project in hand, watching leaves fall, and enjoying the autumn weather. The Autumn Weaves Beanie pattern is perfect for such an afternoon!

New Orleans is such a special place to my family. My husband grew up in Louisiana, and he was quick to share his love of the Big Easy with me! There is nothing more relaxing than taking a morning walk around the French Quarter, visiting a local yarn shop or bookstore, then enjoying beignets and cafe au lait with a gorgeous view of St. Louis Cat...

This intermediate crochet pattern can easily be worked up in a weekend (hence the name;). You can use it as an entry rug, a kitchen or bathroom rug, or put it in your coz...

I can’t think of anything more peaceful than sipping coffee on a spring morning while enjoying a pastel sunrise. The soft colors that I chose for my shawl reminded me of countless quiet moments like this, and I was inspired to design something that reflects my intention to find joy and peace in the little things. This triangular shawl is worked...

I’m sure most of us are finding it more and more difficult to get out of bed as the weather gets colder, so I designed this super scarf as a way to bring the bed with you! The Favorite Cable Scarf can be easily dressed up or down, and you can choose to leave the ends plain, add tassels or fringe, or sew the ends together to create an infinity s...

One of my favorite things about being a knitter is that whenever I see a pretty cable knit beanie while I’m out shopping, I’m not tempted to buy it because I know I can make an even nicer one myself! Not only does this save me lots of money, I get to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I made my clothes with my own two hands. Rather than bei...

My journey as a maker has been full of twists and turns, ups and downs, wins and losses, smiles and tears. One thing that has stayed consistent over the years though, is that this endeavor is mine. Lately I’ve been seeing more and more creatives try to squeeze themselves into a mold for the sake of getting noticed, and it always makes me a litt...

It’s finally everyone’s favorite time for soaking up the sun, playing in the waves, and dreaming under the stars: SUMMER. I’m always so excited to break out my shorts and tank tops when the warmer months arrive, and I’m always on the lookout for the perfect jewelry to wear on all my adventures! This adorable crochet necklace would be a great ac...

Since opening The Chesapeake Needle in September 2016, I have had quite a few different responses to my efforts from friends and family on the sidelines. From “You’re such an inspiration!” to “How do you find time to do everything?” to “You’re crazy… do you really think you can have a career as a knitter?”--I feel like I’ve heard it all. Runnin...

Funny story: Last spring I sat down to knit a cute little headband for my shop that my customers would want to wear all year. I had no pattern in front of me and no clear picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like; I just waited for an idea to form as I worked. Then, I suddenly caught a vision of what would become the Mobius, and could...

Irene … the very name seems to evoke a sense of despairing beauty, of love lost. This lovely cable knit cowl design was inspired by a strong, yet tragic heroine in the incredible book The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy. In the story, Irene was married to a rich man who didn’t truly love her, but who desparately wanted to own her. When she met ...

Have you ever been so fascinated with a subject that you spend months reading articles on it, binge-listening to podcasts and music centered around it, or watching documentary after documentary just to learn a little bit more? Lately I have been obsessed with all sorts of supernatural topics; like ghosts, demons, and aliens. The idea that there...

The best way to enjoy the cooler weather is to wrap yourself up in a beautiful lace shawl you made yourself and just BE. My Ethereal Autumn Shawl design is very versatile and can be worn as a wrap, a scarf, or even a head covering: the choice is yours!
