Knitting: Pullover
Baaarter Sweater was originally a bartered commission to my friend and herding dog trainer for the boarding and training of my Australian Shepherd pup, Beet Root. She requested a sheep pattern and ended up with a very (loved) and wooly sweater for keeping warm during chores.
Knitting: Mittens
Wander Mittens are a bottom-up stranded mitten. They are cast on at the cuff with a short ribbing then stranded colorwork throughout the remainder of mitten construction. A thumb gusset is made and then held to be worked later for thumb. Mitten is seamless and worked in-the-round.
Knitting: Mittens

Knitting: Cowl
Crate Cowl is knitted in the round as a tube and grafted together. The chart is a 14-round repeat that works up intuitively and creates a solid woolen accessory for windy days.
