Knitting: Scarf
I used approximately 100 grams of wool 8/2 Kauni Effektgarn (fingering weight) on #5/3.75 needles and just kept knitting until the scarf reached five feet. The width is about 7 inches. Because this has a reversible rib-type pattern, however, the fabric becomes narrow and tubular when wrapping. Vary the yarn and needles to change size. Or, add 1...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Angy58 has generously translated the Garden of Alla into French. A big THANK YOU to you, Angy! Or shall we say, “Merci beaucoup!”
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This Mooncloud Shawl is a chart only pattern. Perfect for those chilly late night broomstick rides! This one shown is finished with an additional strand of Kidsilk Haze Dewberry in the lovely purlwise/yo bind off — which gives a nice chain edge, almost like I-cord. To do (either RS or WS row facing): Slip 1rst stitch purlwise, °yo as before pur...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
The Kureyon color shown in this Black Forest Hat is #196, (#233 in second picture) and you will need more than one skein. This lace stitch is an adjustment of various similar laces I’ve seen, though perhaps closest to Pine Trees in Barbara Walker #1. So I’ll call it Evergreen Lace. I love the undulating look, like pine boughs weighed down by sn...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Chart only pattern with minimal written instruction, i.e., cast-on and gauge info.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Note: Try it on as you go and add more rows if it needs to be longer. I wanted more of an ear skimmer than a cloche. Your choice! This is a chart-only pattern with minimal written instruction, i.e., cast-on and gauge info.

Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
This is a chart-heavy pattern for those who know the basic precepts of mitt making. “Aunt Jean’s Invisible Jog” from The Best of Vogue Knitting Magazine highly recommended. Here’s a link that also explains it: click me.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a chart only pattern with minimal written instructions, i.e., cast on and gauge info. This is a combo of two other hats in my design collection. Can you guess which? I have giant ball of slightly icky Silk Garden colors (all spliced together for added mystery) from last year’s Christmas brioche scarf spree which is transforming into thi...

This is a chart-only pattern with very minimal written instructions, i.e., cast-on and gauge info.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a chart-only pattern with very minimal written instructions, i.e., cast-on and gauge info. Named in honor of my favorite variety of oak tree.

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Note: (11.21.08) I’ve been wearing this a while now, and the bottom scallop/curves tend to curl up. Next time I make this I will knit plain on the current chart’s rows 128 and 130, add a row of yo/k2tog eyelets on the next row, purl back, then do a picot bind off. Wear and learn. Or, do as ChristaV did and add a few rows of garter stitch betwee...
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
NOTE#1: Cast on 88 stitches as the .pdf says for a snug fit before blocking, or 96 stitches if you like looser hats. The chart given works for either stitch count.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This pattern may be snug for most people, but Silk Garden stretches a lot when blocked. If you like a looser hat, cast on 96 instead of the 88 stitches given in the .pdf: the chart works the same for both stitch counts.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The Traveling Light Shawl shown is for a short person (my mother-in-law) but can easily be made bigger as long as the patterns notes for doing so are followed — i.e., end at the proper pre-ruffle row sequence.
